The tweet came after Palin appeared on Fox News Wednesday night and said she was more of a feminist than the progressive Democrat from New York.... On Thursday, AOC responded on Twitter with a video and message that read: "I'm so sorry Sarah Palin is mad at me! In fact, to address this I set up a special hotline just for her." In the accompanying video, Ocasio-Cortez speaks to Palin, asking, "Does my existence make you mad? Does the fact that, yes, I am a mouthpiece for the people of New York's 14th congressional district upset you? Well, I have...

The left continues to twist itself into absurd linguistic knots as it strives to display its solidarity with the transgender lobby...and the media is always on board. Last week, we caught journalist Irin Carmon, the liberal co-author of Notorious RBG, speaking of "a woman--or a pregnant person" having a right to an abortion. Because it would horribly insensitive to suggest that only women can be pregnant! In a clip aired on CNN's New Day Wednesday morning, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez similarly abused the English language in absurd fashion. In the context of blasting TX Gov. Abbott over the state's abortion law, Ocasio-Cortez...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed Texas Governor Greg Abbott over the state's strict new abortion law, but drew mockery of her own for using the phrase 'menstruating persons.' The progressive New York Democrat spoke out in an interview with CNN on Tuesday, slamming Abbott as ignorant of reproductive science but appearing to trip over her own phrasing. 'I don't know if he is familiar with a menstruating person's body. In fact, I do know that he's not familiar with a woman -- with a female or menstruating person's body,' said Ocasio-Cortez.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being criticized for her use of the term “menstruating persons” as she lashed out at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over his new six-week abortion ban. The far-left New York congresswoman called Abbott “deeply ignorant” on Tuesday over the Lone Star State’s new law that prohibits almost all abortions after the six-week mark — including pregnancies that are the result of rape or incest. “I don’t know if he is familiar with a menstruating person’s body. In fact, I do know that he’s not familiar with a female or menstruating person’s body because if he did, he...

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Friday said that “Christian extremists” are “passing forced birth laws” to make it more difficult for a woman to abort her child, days after Texas’s pro-life law went into effect. “Christian extremists are passing forced birth laws to intimidate & cut off abortion services – including for victims of rape, incest, & child abuse,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “While we fight back, know you still have options. Pills can be mailed to your home discreetly,” she continued:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday said her supporters raised more than $185,000 for organizations in Texas supporting reproductive rights. The fundraising effort came after the Supreme Court in a single-paragraph decision said it wouldn't block a restrictive abortion law in Texas. The decision led to an uptick in "rage giving," MarketWatch reported. One organization, the Texas Equal Access Fund, received about $200,000 in donations in the days following the decision, the report said. "Let this be your sign," Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter. "Find an organizing community, roll up your sleeves, and get to work. It feels better to be in...

@thehill Rep. @AOC: "The fossil fuel industry and the future of humanity are fundamentally incompatible. They just are." Clip...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., bashed Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on Thursday in an apparent attempt to assign blame for the 12 flooding deaths in New York City caused by Tropical Storm Ida. "Manchin has weekly huddles w/ Exxon & is one of many senators who gives lobbyists their pen to write so-called 'bipartisan' fossil fuel bills," she said. "It’s killing people. Our people. At least 12 last night. Sick of this ‘bipartisan’ corruption that masquerades as clear-eyed moderation."

Progressive firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling on the Senate to reject President Biden’s nomination of former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to serve as ambassador to Japan, accusing him of attempting to “cover up the murder of Laquan McDonald” in a statement released Wednesday. The far-left New York Democratic congresswoman, a socialist better known by her initials, AOC, labeled “deeply shameful” the nomination of Emanuel — who previously served as White House chief of staff under President Barack Obama and as a member of the House of Representatives from Chicago.

On the 500th anniversary of the Spanish conquest, people from Mexico’s smallest state Tlaxcala say their ancestors were liberators When people from the Mexican state of Tlaxcala travel to other parts of the country, they are sometimes insulted as traitors by their compatriots. Tlaxcala is Mexico’s smallest state in size, but it played an outsized role in Mexico’s early history, not least when indigenous Tlaxcalans allied with Hernán Cortés’ tiny band of invaders to bring down the Aztec empire. Now, as Mexico marks the 500th anniversary of the fall of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán on Friday, the role of the...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Standing atop a large dais being held up by dozens of American citizens, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar unveiled a new flag they felt best represented the Democratic party’s goal for the role of government. Centered in the bright yellow flag was an image of a snake being squashed under a bureaucrat’s polished shoe, above the printed phrase, “Tread On Me.” “Americans don’t know what they want, that’s why they elected us, to make sure we make sure they act in their best interests which are our interests,” said Senator Schumer. “The most edifying words...

'Squad' member received between $15K and $50K in rental income last year Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib's annual financial disclosure shows that she made thousands of dollars in rental income last year, despite being a co-sponsor of a bill to cancel rent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tlaib joined fellow "Squad" Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and other progressives in April 2020 to co-sponsor Rep. Ilhan Omar's, D-Minn., bill to "institute a nationwide cancellation of rents and home mortgage payments through the duration of the coronavirus pandemic."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in a new clip released Monday that she feared rioters would rape as well as kill her when they stormed the Capitol on January 6th. 'You didn't only think you were going to die, you thought you were going to be raped?' CNN host Dana Bash asked. 'Yeah, I thought I was,' Ocasio-Cortez answered nodding.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not ruling out challenging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — a 22-year Senate vet and stalwart member of the “moderate” wing of the Democratic Party — in a primary next year. When the progressive “democratic socialist,” who represents The Bronx and Queens, was asked by CNN’s Dana Bash if she is considering a campaign against her fellow New Yorker, AOC said she had not seriously considered it but also left the door open for a challenge. “I know it drives everybody nuts. But the way that I really feel about this, and the way that I...

VIDEOWatch as Alexia Ocasio-Cortez makes sure to mask up for a group photo-op. Soon after the photo-op is over she goes maskless again.

With inflation here to stay, many outspoken politicians have had opposing views regarding the country’s future.

The president knows what he ordered the CDC to do is illegal. He did it anyway to appease the left wing of his party.An astonishing thing happened this week in Washington that didn’t get much critical coverage from a media establishment loath to criticize President Biden. At the behest of congressional Democrats, Biden flouted the Constitution and broke his oath of office by issuing a ban on evictions that he and his advisers know to be illegal.By “ban on evictions” I mean the president issued a blatantly unconstitutional decree that renters all across America don’t have to pay rent. If...

AOC masks up for a photo op, removes it moments later while she mingles with the crowd. https://twitter.com/YALiberty/status/1422947938242805762

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday issued a moratorium on evictions targeting areas of the country with high levels of COVID-19 transmission, extending an eviction ban for much of the nation just days after a blanket moratorium had expired. The CDC order applies to counties experiencing significant levels of virus spread, which is defined by the agency as 50 to 100 cases per 100,000 people. A congressional source said the order will likely apply to roughly 90 percent of the renter population in the U.S. The order will expire on Oct. 3. It was issued after...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was seen putting on a mask for a photo op on the steps of the Capitol on Monday. The New York representative took part in a demonstration — while not wearing a mask — calling for an extension of a national eviction moratorium. Despite being filmed across the previous 45 minutes without a mask, Ocasio-Cortez put a mask on as demonstrators assembled on the steps for a photo at the demonstration’s conclusion. Virtually all persons seen in attendance were maskless during the event and photo op. Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) similarly put on a blue...
