    Former U.S. House of Speaker Nancy Pelosi was rushed to a hospital in Luxembourg on Friday after she took a “hard fall” down a marble staircase. Pelosi, 84, tripped as she walked down the staircase at the Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg City, a source told The New York Times. The paper reported later Friday that the longtime lawmaker fractured her hip in the tumble.

    The good news is, she’s a wealthy, politically-connected woman. All three matter: when you’re wealthy, you have more options; when you’re politically-connected, you don’t wait in line; and women are way better at longevity than men are. And not just because men are dopey, drink more, and think it’s wicked cool to play with fireworks. (Or play with fireworks while drunk.) There’s a genetic component, too. There’s a reason why 85% of centenarians (and 90% of supercentenarians) are women. And this reason isn’t purely behavioral. When it comes to longevity, genetics are king. (Or, more commonly: queen.) Still, the short-term...

    During an interview on "Fox News Live," Sunday, House Oversight Chairman and member of the GOP, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., threw his support behind committee member, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democratic congresswoman from New York is seeking to take the ranking member from fellow Democrat Jamie Raskin.

    The Saturday edition of The Weekend devoted a segment to the Dems' intraparty squabble over House committee positions, and in particular to AOC's attempt to supplant Gerry Connolly as the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee. The co-hosts and guests all expressed support for AOC. Former Obama HUD Secretary Julian Castro: "I think it's inevitable, though, after an election where you had voters send a strong message, that Democrats need to adjust their message. And they need, I think, more of a fighting spirit, and a focus like I think AOC and others have had. So I'm hopeful that...
  • AOC sympathizes with those celebrating UnitedHealthcare CEO’s murder, says denied claims are ‘acts of violence’

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sparked controversy Thursday with her remarks on the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson when she suggested that those shocked by people’s lack of sympathy toward the slain CEO simply don’t understand Americans’ frustration with the healthcare system. “This is not to say that an act of violence is justified, but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them,” the New York congresswoman told CBS News’ Jaala Brown Thursday. Ocasio-Cortez maintained that systemic...

    Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly working behind the scenes to put the kibosh on Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' dream of taking a powerful Democratic House position in the new Congress. The 35-year-old progressive Squad member is looking to become the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, having served as vice ranking member. But she would have to beat out Virginia Congressman Gerry Connelly, who also launched his own bid for the top committee job. Their face-off sets Democrats up for a generational battle between the millennial member of Congress and the 74-year-old lawmaker who has served in the House...
  • ‘Delusional’ AOC slammed for suggesting subway riders should be scared of Daniel Penny: ‘Utter stupidity’

    Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said New York City subway riders should be scared of Daniel Penny after he was found not guilty in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely — sparking swift backlash from straphangers who blasted the lefty lawmaker as “delusional.” Penny, 26, was acquitted of all charges by a Manhattan jury Monday following the high-profile trial over the fatal, caught-on-camera encounter with the troubled homeless man on an uptown F train last year. In a previous clip that has gone viral on X after the acquittal, Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Penny’s apparent lack of remorse could mean he could...

    A man who claims he spent money to fund Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's shock rise to Congress says the 'Squad' Democrat has 'betrayed' her district. Ramon Ramirez Baez, a lifelong Democrat who voted for Donald Trump in November and committee member in the New York Assembly, claims he helped get her to the debate stage and propped up her Congressional campaign when she primaried establishment Democrat Joe Crowley. Now, Baez is working on behalf of the campaign to improve the Roosevelt Ave. section of Corona, Queens in AOC's district, which has become a huge new red light district thanks to the arrival...

    Nothing can be said for certain, except death, taxes — and now, speculation about AOC running for president. The latest round comes courtesy of a Black Friday story in The Hill about contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2028. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was thrown in as the 11th and last name, a fun little kicker. “She’s somebody who can cut through the noise and doesn’t talk like Washington,” an anonymous Democratic strategist told The Hill. AOC for president hype started three weeks after she first took office in 2019 when Axios found three-quarters of Dems would consider voting for her...

    The day after the election, an NBC News chart circulated on Instagram highlighting exit poll data showing that, roughly, the more education you had, the more likely you were to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris over President-elect Donald Trump. Some liberals used the occasion to look down upon the icky dummies who were too stupid to know they shouldn’t vote for Trump. Yet Trump’s victory was both definitive and diverse. He won broad swaths of the electorate, making significant gains in New York and California and winning over larger percentages of Latino voters and young voters than in 2020....

    While polls of Democratic primary voters have been showing that they supposedly want Vice President Kamala Harris to run again, there's a new name out there, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a member of the far-left Squad. On Friday morning, The Hill put out an analysis of potential 2028 Democratic candidates, with Harris topping that list of seven candidates, and AOC closing it out. As their blurb on the congresswoman read:When Democrats talk about the future of the party, the 35-year-old New York congresswoman’s name always bubbles to the top.Democrats have long been impressed with Ocasio-Cortez’s ability to “cut through the...

    Democrats are licking their wounds after Vice President Harris’s defeat to President-elect Trump, but already are looking toward who might lead their party in a 2028 presidential contest. It’s a fight that looks wide open. The certainty is that Trump himself will not be on the ballot, since the Constitution limits him to two terms. Vice President-elect JD Vance is the likely GOP front-runner as the party’s next presidential nominee.

    Newsweek ^ | Nov 14, 2024 | Sonam Sheth
    The right-wing media sphere flew into a frenzy on Thursday when several users on social media pointed out that U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York had removed her pronouns from her bio on X, formerly Twitter. The overarching sentiment was that Ocasio-Cortez's decision to remove her pronouns from her bio underscored President-elect Donald Trump's decisive victory in the 2024 election, and was an inflection point in "woke" ideology—a derisive term that many conservatives use to describe identity politics and progressive values.

    Kamala Harris leads her closest potential 2028 Democrat presidential contender by 33 points, according to polling from Echelon Insights. Here’s the breakdown: Vice President Kamala Harris — 41 percent California Gov. Gavin Newsom — 8 percent Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro — 7 percent Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg — 6 percent Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — 6 percent On one side of the scenario, you can see why Democrat voters still support her, even after her decisive loss to President-elect Donald Trump two weeks ago. She still has the best name recognition. She’s been vice president for four years. She never...
  • Trans congresswoman Sarah McBride blasts Republicans after proposal that would block her from using women's bathroom on Capitol Hill

    A trans war has broken out on Capitol Hill after a Republican lawmaker proposed a measure that would block the first transgender member of Congress from using biological women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol. Rep. Nancy Mace is pushing for the new rule ahead of the arrival of Congresswoman-elect Sarah McBride, who will take office in January as the first openly-trans lawmaker in the United States. McBride blasted Republicans after the proposal, claiming they were using it as a 'distraction' tactic. 'This is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real...

    Progressive Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shocked MSNBC host Joy Reid with her simple explanation of why some New Yorkers opted to vote for Donald Trump as president but also helped reelect her to Congress on the same ballots. The Republican president-elect improved his share of support in New York City including in AOC's district in 2024, leaving some scratching their heads over how someone could vote for him and a progressive member of 'The Squad.' After the election, the Democratic congresswoman put out on social media that she wanted to hear from such voters about their thinking. The responses came flooding...

    Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines tore into Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after followers noticed she removed her pronouns from her X account. The woke congresswoman previously noted she used 'she/her' pronouns on her profile, but that reference has since disappeared. She also apparently changed her title in her description from 'US Representative' to 'US Congresswoman.'

    Hollywood star and filmmaker Justine Bateman dropped another hilarious film critic’s take on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) latest video lamenting President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. The 58-year-old actress broke down the new video from AOC in the latest installment of Bateman’s ongoing #SocialMediaVideoCritique series on X, in which she reacts to those posting meltdown videos about Trump’s win. Rather than pointing out things like poor messaging or simply mocking their outbursts, Bateman has some fun focusing instead on the backgrounds, lighting, and camera angles.
