Led by AOC, a growing number of democrats and assorted nitwits are threatening to make an enemies list- a list of Trump supporters- and punish them. WaPo's resident idiot: AOC and there's this And of course there's Robert Reich's Truth and Reconciliation projectWe need a form of truth and reconciliation commission precisely because our normal institutions have failed. We need to understand how that failure happened, who is responsible, and who should face justice. When a plane falls out of the sky, we don’t just shrug our shoulders and say, “Gravity has consequences.” We send in a team of experts...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Friday warned what to expect from Donald Trump’s most ardent acolytes - suggesting that even some of the president’s staunchest supporters may now try to pivot away from him. As the 2020 election remained in the balance, but with Democratic nominee Joe Biden on the cusp of victory, Ocasio-Cortez asked on Twitter if anyone was “archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?” “I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future,” added the New York lawmaker, who this week won reelection...

Most pre-election forecasts were certain that Republicans would lose ground in the House of Representatives, but as of this moment, it is not impossible that Republicans might take the House right now. They elected a record number of GOP women candidates. (Incidentally, Republicans did well in state legislative races around the country, and didn’t lose control of a single chamber.)The GOP has gained about 10 House seats so far, and is currently leading in about 20-25 more. (I’m not keeping up with the moment-by-moment counts in any of these races.) Not all of these leads are expected to hold...

In response to Republican concerns over voter fraud and election irregularities, Democrats are attempting to intimidate and threaten Republicans who back the president's pursuit of a fair election. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), apparently undeterred by the loss of several of her Democratic House colleagues, is calling on her cancel-culture goons to maintain a running list of "Trump sycophants" who she believes will "deny their complicity in the future." Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) referred to a pro-Trump caravan spotted in New York City as a “pileup of chumps.” Photos and videos emerged over the weekend, showing ‘Trump trains” popping up across the nation. One such parade occurred over New York City’s Whitestone Bridge. Photos and videos show dozens of vehicles on the bridge with pro-America and pro-Trump flags:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) says she's thinking about starting a family and has considered freezing her eggs. "I’m sitting here, I’m like, Do I freeze my eggs? Can I afford to do that?” the New York Democrat told Vanity Fair with a laugh in a cover story for the magazine's December issue, published Wednesday. “My orthodontist was telling me about how she was doing IVF, and I’m, like, asking her what her experience is like," Ocasio-Cortez said. The average cost of in vitro fertilization per cycle is between $12,000 and $17,000, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Freezing...

Democrats are projected to expand their majority in the U.S. House due to an erosion of President Trump's support in suburban communities and a fundraising advantage that has allowed Democrats to go on offense in traditionally red districts, election analysts say.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, seeking to allay concerns that his plan to fight climate change would harm the economy, has promised a “clean energy revolution that creates millions of unionized middle-class jobs” if he’s elected. That vision, however, would require policy makers and clean-energy companies to overcome some major challenges in replacing the number and quality of fossil-fuel jobs that could be lost in a transition away from coal and oil. Union representation, pay and benefits in the fast-growing wind and solar power industries at the center of a clean energy transition lag those in oil, gas and coal....

Freshman Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez of New York wore thousands of dollars worth of outfits and jewelry for her spread in Vanity Fair magazine's December issue while attacking President Trump for not paying his taxes. The progressive lawmaker from New York -- whose policies often sway far to the left of more centrist Democrats -- has in the past condemned politicians that she says are beholden to Wall Street, even as she was gifted a $2,850 suit from Loewe for the shoot, according to reports by the Daily Mail. The total estimated retail cost of her outfits is more...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Only one day after the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the supreme court, AOC is calling for leftists in Washington to pack the courts with liberal judges. According to AOC, the next administration ought to "at least double" the size of the court by adding 3 progressive justices to the bench.

First lady Melania Trump labeled Democratic nominee Joe Biden a “socialist” and challenged his lengthy record in politics as she hit the campaign trail for her husband on Tuesday after a year-long absence. With early voting in full swing and one week until Election Day, the first lady made her 2020 race debut with a 15-minute speech in Atglen, Penn., where she warned the crowd that a vote for the Democratic Party would send the nation “backwards.” “Joe Biden’s policies and socialist agenda will only serve to destroy America and all that has been built in the past four years,”...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar on Monday tweeted 'expand the court' just moments after Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed by the Senate. Cortez added: 'Republicans do this because they don't believe Dems have the stones to play hardball like they do. And for a long time they've been correct. But do not let them bully the public into thinking their bulldozing is normal but a response isn't. There is a legal process for expansion.' Her initial tweet was reposted by fellow squad member Ilhan Omar, who also wrote: 'Expand the court.' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said: 'Should we expand the...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for more seats to be added to the Supreme Court — shortly after Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed as the newest justice on the bench Monday evening. “Expand the court,” the Bronx-born congresswoman wrote on Twitter. Her message was re-tweeted by fellow “squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). “Remember that Republicans have lost 6 of the last 7 popular votes, but have appointed 6 of the last 9 justices,” Omar added. “By expanding the court we fix this broken system and have the court better represent the values of the American people.”

Bronx Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized long lines she found while visiting a polling site in the borough on Sunday morning to cast her own vote. Voters had been waiting in line for several hours when the congresswoman showed up. 'There is no place in the United States of America where two-, three-, four-hour waits to vote is acceptable,' the Democrat said outside the site in Parkchester.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said that young Americans will vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, not because they think he is “their favorite person” but because they believe they can more easily sway him to act on behalf of their interests. Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for president, said that while Biden may not hold the same views that she and others might have, he would be more receptive to their ideas than President Trump. "I believe that young people right now have a very disciplined activist mindset," she told CNN's "State of...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that she believes it's "extremely important" that Joe Biden offer Sen. Bernie Sanders and other progressive leaders Cabinet positions if he's elected president. The big picture: Ocasio-Cortez was pressed repeatedly on policy differences between her and the more moderate Biden, including her opposition to fracking and support for Medicare for All. She responded that it would be a "privilege" and a "luxury" to be able to lobby a Biden administration on progressive issues, insisting that the focus right now should be on winning the White House. What she's...

Being attacked President Trump is a “badge of honor," U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told actress Jane Fonda during an online interview last week. "If the worst and most authoritarian, borderline -- or probably, actually -- fascistic president in modern history considers me public enemy No. 1, I think that's a good thing. I'm doing a great job,” the New York Democrat said in an interview for Greenpeace during Fonda's "Fire Drill Fridays." Ocasio-Cortez and the three other so-called “Squad” members are frequent targets for President Trump because of their liberal policy proposals and their tendency to speak out against him...

After Trump brought attention to the coyote epidemic at the southern border during the debates, Democrats on Twitter are offering unique solutions to the problem, such as setting up decoy roadrunners to distract the coyotes. "Everyone knows that a coyote's greatest nemesis is the roadrunner. That's just science," said AOC to reporters. "Trump has done nothing to stop the scourge of deadly coyotes smuggling innocent children into the concentration camps at the southern border. We need to do something with science to make it stop!" AOC and The Squad have partnered to promote legislation that would require large cardboard cutouts...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasted Republican lawmakers for calling female legislators by nicknames after President Trump twice referred to her as “AOC” in Thursday night’s debate.

AOC: "I looked at this recipe and I needed basil, and I was going home and I get off the subway station and I go into the grocery store and there’s no basil, no fresh basil in the grocery store. So then I walked to another grocery store two blocks down, no fresh basil. I was very stubborn about making this recipe that evening, and I must’ve been — I must’ve walked around for an hour in our neighborhoods, visiting four or five grocery stores, and there was no basil, no fresh basil in any of them. And it just...
