Recently ousted Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez while discussing congressional Democrats’ poor performance in the Empire State compared to other parts of the country on Election Day. “I didn’t see her one minute of these midterms helping our House majority,” Maloney complained to the New York Times.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Chris Wallace that she has lived in a constant state of fear for her own well-being since she was first elected to Congress. The New York Democrat described how her concern over threats has affected her life during an appearance on Friday’s edition of CNN’s “Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace?” “Do you feel your life is in danger?” Wallace asked. “Absolutely, I felt that my life has been in danger since the moment that I won my primary election in 2018. And it became especially intensified when I was first brought into Congress in 2019,”...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) slammed New York state party leadership on Wednesday after election returns showed the Empire State trending to the right, calling on the president of the group to resign. “NYS Dem party leadership, which was gutted under [former New York Gov. Andrew] Cuomo [D], stuffed with lobbyists, works to boost GOP, and failed to pass a basic state ballot measure to protect NY redistricting, must be accountable,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter. “I called for Jay Jacob’s resignation a year ago and I still hold that position,” she added, referring to the New York State Democratic Party president....

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is projected to defeat Republican nominee Lee Zeldin and win her first full term in the governor’s mansion. NBC News and ABC News called the race for Hochul shortly after 11 p.m. E.T. Headed into Election Day, Hochul was leading Zeldin, a Trump-endorsed congressional lawmaker, by just a few points. The race was largely seen as a toss-up in the final stretch. Hochul was the lieutenant governor under former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who stepped down last fall amid allegations of sexual harassment and accusations he covered up nursing home deaths during...

Okay I have been trying to locate any Polling Data on the N.Y. 14th Congressional Race, AOC vs Tina Forte. Have checked all polling websites and nothing. Even checked Charlie Cook's website, he is usually very reliable, but he had no information at all. He had info on other N.Y. races but not that one. So anyone who has anything please pass it along. This race is in the Bronx.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens, Bronx) is running a robust retail operation that would make Jeff Bezos envious, shelling out $2 million since January 2021 on campaign merch that is flying off the shelves. The products hawked on her campaign website include $58 “Tax the Rich” sweatshirts — currently sold out — $28 Green New Deal hats and $27 tees that say “Drink Water & Don’t Be A Racist.” A “Better World Is Possible” sweatshirt for $58 is sold out in all but one size. Like true cut-throat capitalists, the campaign appears to have marked up the AOC gear by more...

This is a very interesting interview. He's still a Democrat. He supports Tina Forte, Lee Zeldin, and....Donald Trump. And he refuses to leave the Democratic Party. The party left him. He wants to push the party past this current insanity to a new platform. Maybe he and others can.

AOC is getting rather defensive, isn't she?by Becca London | RNNAs we reported earlier, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tried -- and failed -- to "diss" the new Twitter owner, billionaire Elon Musk, by "weath-shaming" him over his planned $8/month subscription for "blue check" Twitter users, who are often celebrities (who can easily afford it). And Musk clapped right back... Then Musk humiliated AOC for her hypocrisy by pointing out the high prices she charges for merch at her campaign website:So now -- on the big-time defensive --AOC hurriedly composed a response to Musk trying to explain it...

VANCOUVER, BC — This week, the Society For Prevention Of Cruelty To Celebrities (SPCC) launched a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about public figures buckling under a new expense that seems targeted specifically at them. The commercial advocates for compassionate viewers to donate $8 per month to sponsor a celebrity's verified blue checkmark on Twitter. "Hi, I'm Sarah McLachlan. Please say you will be the answer for an innocent celebrity who is suffering right now from this cruel tax designed to reduce the status of high-status people – the $8 monthly charge for a verified blue checkmark on Twitter." Sarah...

Even for a guy like Elon Musk, $44 billion is quite a chunk of money to spend on anything, even for the most valuable and influential social media platform in the world. As often happens in the business world, cost-cutting measures are typically deployed upon acquiring a new business. According to a bombshell Bloomberg report Wednesday night, it appears the first money-saving cuts could come Friday in the way of firing roughly half of Twitter’s entire workforce. That would be about 3,700 jobs, according to the report. Musk is also set to require a majority of whichever workers are left...

I’d pay $8 just for this. There have been quite a few reactions to Tesla CEO and Chief Twit Elon Musk announcing that checkmarks will be handed out to anyone who signs up for Twitter Blue at $8 a month. The goal seems pretty obvious. Not only will it reduce the number of bots and help identify real accounts, but it’ll also bring in a fair bit of revenue for Twitter Many blue-check lefties are getting up in arms over the announcement as they now understand they will no longer be the elite Twitter users. Then, there’s naturally the argument...

Elon Musk’s reign of triggering liberals on Twitter continues! Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently tweeted “Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually an $8/mo subscription plan”. In response, Musk quickly shot back “Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8”. Musk would then follow up his tweet by tweeting out a screenshot of an AOC t-shirt being sold for $58 on the congresswomen’s official site:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is facing mockery for her criticism of a new plan for Twitter’s subscription service. The Congresswoman voiced her disapproval of the idea Twitter users paying for a monthly fee for added features. “Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that ‘free speech’ is actually a $8/mo subscription plan,” she wrote Tuesday night. Her tweet comes after Twitter owner Elon Musk shared his plan to raise the cost of the platform’s subscription service Twitter Blue to $8 per month. -snip People would still be about to use Twitter if they did not...

Appearing on MSNBC Friday night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., claimed Americans are "truly facing an environment of fascism" and the threat of returning to "very unique form of American apartheid" because of White nationalists.

If people haven’t figured out that AOC is a political hack, I am not sure what will change their minds. Maybe this video? Channeling her inner Hillary Clinton circa 2007, AOC got in front of a black audience at a recent speaking appearance for Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and went full preacher mode, replete with the drawl, twang, and unmistakable cadence of someone decidedly not New York Puertorican. There are no words. Just watch: VIDEO AT LINK.................... I’m proud to be a bartender. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. There’s nothing wrong with working retail folding clothes for other people...

Sometimes, you’ve just gotta dance. Drumming protesters crashed another town hall event hosted by far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) Wednesday night, with the “Squad” member eventually bopping along to their rhythmic chants. Video of the protest in Queens showed demonstrators chanting “AOC has got to go” and holding up signs denouncing the 33-year-old congresswoman while a man with a hand drum pounds out a beat. The loud jeering and chanting left Ocasio-Cortez with nothing better to do than show off her moves while she sat on the edge of a stage. At one point, the lawmaker appeared to spot a...

VIDEOCongresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently encountered a rowdy townhall in which she was surprised that many in the crowd did NOT worship her. The lights went off overhead and when they came back on, AOC tried to quiet the crowd down with a highly fake accented "LISTEN! LISTEN! OKAY, LISTEN!" When I heard that I thought it had musical possibilities and this is the result.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson calls out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over not speaking out on the Russia-Ukraine war on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' #FoxNews #tucker Interesting clip of AOC Town Hall with two of her progressive constituents calling her out for backing and funding a possible nuclear war. She responds to it all by telling them they are rude...:-)

Someone is not happy with AOC.

The arrival of 17,000 illegal immigrants bused to New York City from Texas prompted Mayor Eric Adams (D) to declare a state of emergency. "We simply cannot handle such a flood of indigents seeking to sponge off of our welfare system," Adams asserted. "It is simply not fair for Gov. Abbott (R) to inflict this calamity upon us. These people should stay in Texas where they belong." While Abbott has initiated the busing of around 3,000 illegal migrants to New York City, El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser (D) has sent about 7,000 illegal immigrants to NYC. Lesser contends that "our...
