Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Thursday the “incarceration of children in Palestine” is similar to the conditions of migrants at President Joe Biden’s managed southern border. “We are scared to stand up to the incarceration of children in Palestine because maybe it’ll force us to confront the incarceration of children here on our border,” she said on the House floor.

Remember when New York socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others went to the U.S.-Mexico border nearly two years ago and clearly staged a stunt to blame Donald Trump for the migrant surge? Well, it turns out federal memos reveal that she was in an “agitated” state when she visited a Border Patrol station in El Paso, Texas, in 2019 and began screaming at a female agent. The memos center around an incident that AOC claimed happened in which an agent allegedly took a “selfie” with Ocasio-Cortez, triggering AOC into a temper tantrum.

Inspired by FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) wants to establish a Civilian Climate Change Corps (CCCC). "This Corps will achieve two major objectives," she said. "First, it will battle the scourge of carbon dioxide that is the chief culprit in global warming. Second, it will provide jobs for healthy young people and help extricate our economy from the depression inflicted on it by Trump." "The main method the Corps will employ is to practice slow breathing," the Congresswoman explained. "Normally, young people are very active. In this active state heavy breathing takes place. This means increased...

President Joe Biden this week cut "God" out of his proclamation for a National Day of Prayer. Instead, he calls on "citizens" to follow "their own faiths and consciences."

Edward Markey of Massachusetts are among the progressive lawmakers who introduced the bill to establish the civilian force that will be tasked with “responding to climate change and transition to a clean economy.”

Editor's Note: This piece was co-authored by David Goetsch.Leftist politicians, President Joe Biden, Marxist professors, the mainstream media, historical revisionists and the entertainment industry all play a role in hoodwinking young people into favoring socialism over freedom, enterprise and self-determination. However, the most important factor in the susceptibility of young people to the false promises of socialism is their parents. Turning the youngsters of today into the socialists of tomorrow begins in the home. This is why, with apologies to Willie Nelson, we offer this warning: Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be socialists. In our upcoming book,...

'I'll be frank, I think a lot of us expected a much more conservative administration.

U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s silence on questions about her Boston property and whether she is charging rent during the coronavirus pandemic is becoming deafening. Pressley is one of the leading progressives in Congress but all too often just refuses to respond to non-softball questions — following the Elizabeth Warren school of public relations. One of the latest examples: A press release and press conference last month from her and other members of the “Squad” — Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Rashida Talib, D-Mich. — announcing they were re-introducing the “Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act.” What...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been mocked for claiming that climate change is a product of racial injustice, as she relaunched her controversial Green New Deal. The New York congresswoman on Tuesday spoke in front of the Capitol to promote her plan, which set a series of ambitious targets such as eliminating U.S. greenhouse gas emissions within a decade and transitioning the economy away from fossil fuels. Ocasio-Cortez said that climate change must be viewed through the lens of race.

Calling for a "bigger and bolder" infrastructure and jobs plan from President Biden, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the federal dollars in the $2 trillion proposal don't match the "vision" the president has put forward on climate change. "There are a lot of areas that demand a lot of expansion," the New York Democrat said in an interview after reintroducing the Green New Deal on Tuesday. "The problem," said Ocasio-Cortez is that while "the aims of this infrastructure bill are great," the "dollars that they put in don't match the vision they have advanced. "So if they want to actually advance...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has backed Democrats’ effort to pack the Supreme Court by adding four new seats that would be filled by President Joe Biden, arguing the courts should not be allowed to overturn laws passed by Congress. The Washington Times reported: “I do think we should be expanding the court,” she told reporters. The New York Democrat, part of the progressive “Squad” collective on Capitol Hill, reasoned the justices overturning laws is part of the problem with the 6-3 conservative majority. “The idea that nine people, that a nine-person court, can overturn laws that … hundreds and thousands...

Following the shooting deaths this week of Daunte Wright and Adam Toledo, the disproportionate loudmouths in Congress, commonly referred to as “the Squad” repeated their oft-stated absurdity that police are killing unarmed black men and that America would be better off without them. It’s important to note that none of them offered to give up their own police protections made available to them at the Capitol. The woke mobs on social media immediately began to echo their calls anew as well. Within seconds “justice for Wright/Toledo” began to flood uninformed purveyors on Twitter and Instagram. The newer messaging phenomenon in...

Top progressive pol Sen. Bernie Sanders is breaking with his left-wing protégés over their calls to defund the police in the wake of the killing of Daunte Wright. Speaking to CNN Wednesday, Sanders (I-Vt.) said he did not agree with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over her call for “no more policing, incarceration, and militarization” after the killing of Wright, a black man who died at the hands of a white police officer. “No I don’t,” Sanders replied when asked if he concurred with his fellow progressive, who has been joined in her calls by fellow Squad members Reps. Ilhan Omar...

A new book, based on interviews with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, claims she mocked rising liberal star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and was furious at The Squad. Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power, written by USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page, features ten interviews with Pelosi as well as interviews with over 150 friends, family members, and politicians. Page recalled a July 2019 interview with the Speaker, according a preview of the book in Axios, where she said: 'Pelosi unloads on the Squad, at one point adopting a child-like voice when discussing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.'

Reform of the police is no longer enough, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on Tuesday, as she joined fellow 'squad' member Rashida Tlaib in calling for the police to be abolished. The New York congresswoman responded on Tuesday to the killing of another black man, Daunte Wright, 20, in a Minneapolis suburb on Sunday. He was killed by a white policewoman, Kimberly Potter, who shot him in the chest at a traffic stop in what Brooklyn Center police chief said was an accident, when she meant to reach for her Taser. 'Daunte Wright's killing was not a random, disconnected 'accident' - it...

The feud between the establishment and socialists continues. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unloaded on New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and members of the socialist "Squad" in a new biography by USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page. During the interviews, Pelosi mocked Ocasio-Cortez specifically for her youth and apparent ignorance. Pelosi unloads on the Squad, at one point adopting a child-like voice when discussing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and offers the Squad this blunt advice: “You’re not a one-person show. This is the Congress of the United States.”
