People call me mean things, and I feel the consequences of that.

Nationwide rallies are spurring "Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez 2028" whispers, and it's already clear: the CIA couldn't do a better job of discrediting the American left Virtually everyone interviewed said there was one clear leader for the job: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

Sara Haines, co-host of The View, has warned that the Democratic Party’s unhinged screaming and volatile behavior at rallies is not fixing the country and is making things worse for them. Whoopi Goldberg noted that progressive leaders like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., are engaging at rallies “at a moment when leadership roles on the left are wide open.” Goldberg also recalled how Sanders showed in his recent interview that he was “not ready to talk about future party planning yet.” Sanders recently accused ABC “This Week” host Jonathan Karl of asking a “nonsense” question about...

🚨🇺🇸 GPS DATA EXPOSES ASTROTURFING AT DENVER BERNIE-AOC RALLYThat massive Bernie Sanders and AOC rally in Denver? Turns out it wasn’t as “grassroots” as advertised.Despite claims of 34,000 attendees, GPS data analysis reveals the real number was closer to 20,000—still big, but not record-breaking.More revealing? A whopping 84% of those devices had shown up at nine or more other protests, including Antifa/BLM events, pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and Kamala Harris campaign stops.Over 30% had attended twenty or more.Data analysts say the crowd was anything but organic—the majority were tied to activist networks like Disruption Project, Indivisible, Democratic Socialists of America,...

According to Jason Lemon, senior politics editor at Newsweek, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is increasingly being discussed as a leading star within the Democrat Party. He writes, “with some suggesting she could be a 2028 contender for the party’s presidential nomination. Lemon suggests this is their response to their defeat in the 2024 election. Ocasio-Cortez “has emerged as one of the Democrats many see to be pushing back in a way that resonates with the party’s base,” the editor writes. He notes she has held massive rallies with [fellow communist] Bernie Sanders. He doesn’t mention that the same thousands appear at every...

After the recent government shutdown vote, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) offered a three-word response to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) after she complained about how Senate Democrats handled the deal, criticizing her party for caving to Republican demands and not pushing harder against the funding bill. In a blunt response, Fetterman told his fellow Democrat to "deal with it.” This exchange highlights the ongoing friction within the Democratic Party, where some members like Ocasio-Cortez argue for a tougher stance, while others, like Fetterman, prioritize pragmatic solutions to avoid a shutdown. On Friday, Fetterman told AOC to “deal with it” after she...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is calling out what she sees as a glaring problem in Washington — lawmakers profiting off the stock market while shaping the very policies that influence it. During a recent appearance on “The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart,” Ocasio-Cortez didn’t hold back on the issue of insider trading in Congress. “It's so crazy … People think that everyday people are stupid. I'm like, do you all really think that people...

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has embarked on a multi-state tour in what appears to be the most recent and organized effort to unify the Democratic Party against the Trump administration. Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, and Sanders, a Vermont Independent and former Democratic presidential candidate, stopped in Nevada on Thursday and will be in Colorado and Arizona on Friday. The tour is part of Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy: What's Next” tour, in which the senator essentially argues the U.S. is headed toward an Oligarchy government as President Trump continues to fill his cabinet and other top-level posts with...

This was the week I became convinced that Don Lemon is an undercover MAGA operative. The former CNN presenter was on Bill Maher’s podcast the other day and was asked about the dire outlook for the Democratic Party. Which way should it go? “People love AOC” Lemon ventured. “People love Jasmine Crockett. People love Eric Swalwell and the like. I think the Democratic Party should put people out there who the people want — who they’re asking for.” Maher begged to differ. People do not want these people, he pointed out. But Lemon continued to insist otherwise. Personally I suspect...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont - champions of the left - repeatedly targeted President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk as they kicked off a three-day swing through three electorally important western states. But Sanders, and especially Ocasio-Cortez, also trained some of their fire on the Democratic Party, with the best-known member of the so-called "Squad" of diverse and progressive House members urging her own party to have "the courage to brawl" against Republicans. And Sanders and Cortez took to the stage at their first stop in Las Vegas, Nevada, while...

Usually, when you see a title like the one in this post it means the author will build up to make a case and offer his or her explanation at the end. That's not the case here - it's a genuine question on my part. Jasmine Crockett seems to be getting pushed as the next rising star in the Democrat Party, and for the life of me, I can't understand why. For those of you fortunate enough to have no idea who I'm talking about, a week ago Dr. John saved me a lot of legwork by summarizing exactly who...

Senator Chuck Schumer’s sudden decision on Thursday to support a Republican-written bill to avert a government shutdown so enraged his fellow Democrats that some were already talking about primary challenges to the 74-year-old Democratic leader from New York. The eruption of anger about Mr. Schumer’s seeming surrender thrust into public view a generational divide that has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s deepest and most consequential rifts. Younger Democrats are chafing at and increasingly complaining about what they see as the feebleness of the old guard’s efforts to push back against President Trump. They are second-guessing how the party’s...

VIDEOChuck Schumer CAVED and is voting FOR the Republican funding bill thus ENRAGING much of the looney left Democrat base. And that base include the Bluesky Bolsheviks and, as you can see in this video, their hate for Chuck now knows no bounds.

NEW CNN POLL : AOC leads when Democratic-aligned voters are asked which leader "best reflects the core values" of the party.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is postponing several planned events this week to promote his new book, “ Antisemitism in America: A Warning,” after some liberal groups had planned to stage protests The cancellations of events in Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and other cities came amid widespread criticism from the party’s liberal base over Schumer’s vote to move forward with Republican spending legislation last week. Risa Heller, a representative for Schumer’s book, said that the tour would be rescheduled “due to security concerns.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was found to “best reflect the core values” of the Democrat Party in a new CNN poll, narrowly beating failed presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The poll, conducted March 6-9 among approximately 500 Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents, resulted in the far-left congresswoman coming out on top with ten percent of the vote for representing the party’s “core values”

Democrats have become so unpopular that more Americans believe that aliens are among us than agree with the Democratic Party. Dems are now held in lower esteem than lawyers, undertakers, and car salesmen. Two punishing new polls released Sunday show that the party has hit historic new lows in approval ratings nationwide — with just 27% of Americans saying they like the job Democrats are doing, according to NBC News.

Furious Democrats are pushing “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to primary Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after he agreed to vote with Republicans to avoid a government shutdown, according to reports. Progressives see Schumer’s sudden decision to support the legislation, which would fund the government through September, as “surrendering” to Republicans and as a “huge slap in the face” to them. It is leading many to encourage AOC to run for his seat in 2028, according to reports. Democrats convening for a retreat in Virginia this week are “so mad” that they are “ready to write checks for AOC...

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are taking the “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies out West next week – and advising supporters to mask up to participate. Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, Fox News Digital can confirm that the RSVP for the events in Denver and Las Vegas includes guidance that “masks are advised for all attendees of this event.” A post shared by conservative podcaster Stephen L. Miller on Friday about the Denver event had many wondering why masks would be advised for an outdoor event in 2025. Sanders did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s...
