EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., did not rule out 2028 presidential aspirations when asked by Fox News Digital about the viral video that had pundits guessing if she was soft-launching her campaign. "I think what people should be most concerned about is the fact that Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid right now, and people's healthcare is in danger. That's really what my central focus is," the New York Democrat said when asked if she was considering a run for president, despite President Donald Trump's assurances that he wouldn't cut Medicaid. "This moment isn't about campaigns, or elections, or about...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) argued that the Biden administration should simply ignore a judicial decision she dissented from during an appearance on CNN in 2023. Vice President JD Vance’s comments about the role of the judiciary have been the subject of much consternation from Democrats in recent days. In reference to a series of court decisions blocking the Trump administration’s, Vance mused on social media that “If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as...

Fatima Hassouna, a war documentarian who had covered the conflict in Gaza on the ground for 18 months and the subject of a new documentary to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival next month, was killed along with seven members of her family in an Israeli strike this week. “If I die, I want a resounding death, I do not want me in urgent news, nor in a number with a group,” Hassouna wrote in a post on Instagram in August 2024. “I want a death that the world hears, an effect that remains for the extent of the...

On April 15, 2025, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) appeared at a rally in the Dignity Health Arena in Bakersfield, Calif. This was one of a series of rallies in their nationwide “Fighting Oligarchy” campaign. Trump supporters, Republicans and patriots showed up in front of the auditorium to give them a warm welcome.

Sunday is a “clearing the spindle” day, and one of the things on my spindle has been Nate Silver’s prediction last week that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, is currently the most likely person to be the Democrat party’s 2028 presidential candidate. Frankly, I think he’s right. She’s telegenic, has name recognition, and manages to make the same politics that killed tens of millions of people in the 20th century seem user-friendly. She’s also Bernie Sanders’ anointed heir, and he missed the nomination in 2016 and 2020 only because the Democrat party panicked. Last week, Nate Silver, while acknowledging that it’s...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, the best quarter ever for the New York progressive Democrat. The big haul comes as Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders hold rallies across the United States to criticize President Donald Trump, DOGE chief Elon Musk, and others. AOC is being touted as a possible primary opponent to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, whose support of a Republican funding resolution angered many Democrats

As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., privately jets across the nation for her "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, residents in her Queens constituency have been calling on the FBI and the DEA to help them crack down on the illegal sex workers and drug dealers that they say have turned their neighborhood into a festering "gangland." Last week, local leaders, including a former Democrat state senator, wrote to FBI Director Kash Patel urging him to unleash agents to quell the raging problem along Roosevelt Avenue – a 2-mile commercial strip which has been likened to both a Third World Country and a Red...

Friday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he saw Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) emerging as a leader in the Democratic Party. He predicted a civil war with Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) lining up against former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). “[T]he DNC is supposed to unite the party, but what we’re watching live is a civil war inside the Democratic Party, and they’re fighting for new leadership,” he said. “And this...

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I cannot wait for the next election in 3 years, it is going to be the most hilarious time ever. Yep. The one and only, Her Majesty Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from the Bronx. More from New York Daily News: 'I thought I was gonna surprise everyone by taking AOC first,' Silver tweeted, referring to the fact that his colleague Galen Druke also placed Ocasio-Cortez on top of his own early 2028 list. 'That was going to be my … first pick,' he added. Silver and Druke agreed Ocasio-Cortez has the charisma and popularity...

Rep. Kevin Kiley is under fire again as constituents from his conservative-leaning district are becoming increasingly fed up. Kiley was under the microscope Tuesday at the most recent rally held by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders in Folsom. The Sacramento County event was the 10th stop on Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy tour, which he’s been co-headling with Ocasio-Cortez in cities across the West. Tuesday’s event, despite taking place within Kiley’s heavily red district, drew about 30,000 supporters and had a 3-mile line extending beyond the entrance. “I heard that they were, that someone started flying a plane with a...

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced blowback from conservatives on social media this week after they accused her of putting on a fake accent at a rally. The progressive New York congresswoman held a rally in Nampa, Idaho, with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who caucuses with Democrats, on Monday where she reportedly drew over 12,000 people and caught the attention of conservatives with one particular clip where she was accused of deliberately changing her tone of voice. “Oh look, AOC is doing the interchangeable accents to fit the demographic she’s in front of,” conservative influencer account Gunther Eagleman wrote on X....

One gets the sense that the circus doesn’t stop in Boise much — at least not the political kind. On Monday night, an estimated 12,500 people — mostly retired Boomers, with a smattering of Gen X and Gen Z — packed in an arena in Nampa, Idaho, a 30-minute drive from the Gem State capital. They were there for the latest stop on Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. Sanders did speak here in 2016. But “Fighting Oligarchy” is a new beast — progressive Democrats zagging into what is mostly Republican territory. On Sunday, the two...

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told a crowd of thousands at a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday that the U.S. was facing a moment of "extraordinary danger" as he criticized the political, economic and social policies of President Donald Trump.Sanders, who also dropped by the music festival Coachella over the weekend, has been criss-crossing the U.S. to speak out against the new Republican administration."We are living in a moment of extraordinary danger," he said, "and how we respond to this moment will not only impact our lives but will impact the lives of our kids and future generations."On the latest...

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was photographed flying first-class to a Bernie Sanders event last month — with critics saying it shows how she battles inequality one “mimosa at a time.” An incredulous passenger snapped AOC (D-NY) getting comfy in the roomy first-class cabin of JetBlue Flight 511 on March 19 that departed from JFK Airport in Queens for Las Vegas, where she spoke at a Sanders rally titled “Fighting Oligarchy.” The next day, the equality-spouting darling of the far left rallied along with her socialist comrade, Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.), in North Vegas and at Arizona State University in Tempe. “Nothing...

Once again, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) has proven that he’s the king of political zingers. He appeared on Sean Hannity’s show last night with several other Republican senators, where he delivered what might be the most savage takedown of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) we’ve heard yet.Kennedy has a gift for cutting through the nonsense with his signature southern wit.“What do you think of the new leadership: Jasmine, AOC, and Bernie?” Hannity asked.“I consider Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez to be the leader of the Democratic Party,” Kennedy said. “She’s entitled to her opinion. I’m entitled to mine.”And then he went for the jugular.“As...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading Chuck Schumer by double digits in a new head-to-head poll of the 2028 New York primary.

Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided. The poll is the latest sign that Schumer’s standing among the Democratic base has taken a hit since he voted to advance a...

My headline above paraphrases somewhat the insane position of Congressman Dan Goldman (D-New York), but so slightly that I think I can be forgiven. In a tweet posted earlier this week, Goldman’s reaction to a new federal task force aimed at investigating and catching the terrorists who have been firebombing Tesla dealerships and vandalizing Tesla cars was as follows: This is the political weaponization of the DOJ. Trump uses his official authority to defend his benefactor Elon Musk. The FBI then creates a task force to use our law enforcement to “crack down” on adversaries of Musk’s. Where are the...
