Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she's worth less than $500,000, prompting a mixture of disbelief, criticism, and begrudging respect from commenters on X. The New York congresswoman, often called AOC, discussed her personal wealth after an X user claimed she was worth tens of millions as a result of taking kickbacks. The Democratic lawmaker said that the user was "completely making things up" and that she didn't trade individual stocks or earn any income apart from her congressional salary. "I don't even own a house!" she said in a second response. Ocasio-Cortez worked as a bartender and server before winning a...

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez skewered Elon Musk as “morally vacant” and “not smart” for his push to cut trillions of dollars from the U.S. government — adding another chapter to their ongoing feud. The New York politician blasted Musk during a 92-minute live video on Instagram on Monday evening. “This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed,” Ocasio-Cortez said while chuckling. She added Musk is one of the “least knowledgeable” people to be making decisions about the U.S. government after Musk spent the weekend gutting USAID.

Even though the Communist Party of China is officially atheist, and the central government was once wary of religion, subtle signs and increasing activities show there is a changing attitude towards religion in order to unite China and its neighbors. In March last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping stood in the offices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris, and extolled the profound impact Buddhism has had on China. "Buddhism originated in ancient India," said Xi, the leader of the officially atheist Communist Party of China. "After it was introduced into China, the religion went...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) condemned President Trump’s move to fire more than a dozen watchdogs at several federal agencies overnight, calling it a “chilling purge.” “This is a chilling purge, and it’s a preview of the lawless approach Donald Trump and his administration is taking far too often as he is becoming President,” Schumer said on the Senate floor Saturday. “These dismissals are possibly in violation of federal law, which requires Congress to have a 30-day notice of any intent to fire inspectors general,” he added.

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said during a podcast Thursday that she’s concerned about elites and cultural figures openly associating with President Donald Trump. Numerous celebrities, including musicians and comedians, appeared at Trump’s inauguration on Monday. Ocasio-Cortez, on “The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart” said Trump being “much more normalized” in his second term makes him “so much more dangerous” than he was in his first term. “What makes this go-around with Trump so much more dangerous than the first time around is … he is much more normalized this time around than he was the first time,” Ocasio-Cortez...

The New York Democrat ripped Republicans for the bill which is named after the 22-year-old Georgia nursing student who was killed by an illegal immigrant. The Senate voted to approve it 64-35 and the House followed with a 263-156 vote that included 46 Democrats.

Performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity. Any comment @AOC?

"I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis," the Democrat said. "And I will do that until I am six feet in the ground.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) reiterated Tuesday night a core tenet of the country amid criticism of a gesture made by billionaire Elon Musk during President Donald Trump’s inauguration celebrations: “We hate Nazis.” Ocasio-Cortez spoke to her followers on Instagram on Tuesday, a day after Musk used an arm gesture, twice, that resembled the Roman salute adopted by the Nazis. Musk and his Republican allies have rejected that comparison and the billionaire discounted attempts to...

Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was dragged on X for “jewsplaining” to the Anti-Defamation League after the group defended Elon Musk’s “awkward gesture” that progressives insisted was a Nazi salute.

AOC says she won’t be attending Trump inauguration because she doesn’t celebrate rapists

A tough stretch for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., got worse Tuesday when she watched members of her party vote for a bill she attacked at the expense of widespread mockery. Ocasio-Cortez's viral rant against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act wasn't enough to convince Democratic allies Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, both of Texas, to vote against the bill. Cuellar and Gonzalez joined 218 House Republicans who voted for the bill that seeks to prevent federally funded educational institutions from allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls and women's sports. For Ocasio-Cortez, the notion of Democratic congressmen...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was once again the subject of a viral roast campaign after an unhinged rant on the House of Representatives floor on Tuesday. Ocasio-Cortez spoke out against The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in a two-minute tirade that included both false and unsubstantiated claims. Her speech ended with an unexplained claim that "CEOs love this bill" as it relates to the ongoing California Wildfires. The bill ultimately passed and will now head to the Senate after all 216 House Republicans voted in favor, along with just two Democrats. Meanwhile, 206 Democrats, including Ocasio-Cortez, voted...
