Texas Senator Ted Cruz mocked progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday night after the New York Democrat pretended to be handcuffed during a pro-abortion rally this week. The Republican legislator used Ocasio-Cortez's arrest as a punchline while denouncing the sky-high 9.1 percent inflation rate seen just last month as a failure of the Biden administration. He also took a shot at California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell for his past links to an alleged Chinese spy named Fang Fang. 'Inflation is out of control. Food is skyrocketing. Electricity is skyrocketing. Health care is skyrocketing,' Cruz told his audience. 'It is so...

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and the 15 other Democratic lawmakers who were arrested Tuesday outside the Supreme Court coordinated the stunt with a progressive dark money group funded by billionaire George Soros. Getting arrested was the whole point of the stunt, Ocasio-Cortez said in an Instagram post on Tuesday. She said organizers of the Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund asked her and her colleagues to "submit themselves for arrest in front of the Supreme Court." The New York lawmaker insisted in the post what she and her colleagues did was "very different than a 'publicity stunt.'"...

A politician who makes more money than a little over 80 percent of Americans is singing the blues about how tough life has become. The comments came on the Instagram account of Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who makes $174,000 a year as a member of Congress, along with the perks of office. “It’s insanely expensive, there is no stipend or per diem for it, and you’re not allowed to write it off even though your job forces you to have it,” she said, according to BizPac Review. “This creates real class dynamics in the House. Many sleep...

**SNIP** Even in her hometown of New York City, a candidate she backed for mayor was defeated by the more moderate Eric Adams. The two have developed a fraught relationship, sparring over everything from the city budget and policing to his choice of words when describing some workers as 'low skill.' And the woke congresswoman has also come under fire in the past for wearing a dress to the celebrity-packed Met Gala with the words 'Tax the Rich' scrawled across the back, with some saying it was hypocritical to wear the dress while attending the ultra-exclusive event full of the...

And just like that… Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) returned to Twitter Tuesday after claiming she was done with the social media giant. The “Squad” member ended her brief Twitter hiatus — which she said she was taking due to “negativity” on the platform — only to target West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a fellow Democrat, over his opposition to President Biden’s “Build Back Better” bill. The tweet came after Ocasio-Cortez announced that she was on a break from Twitter — in response to an Instagram user who pointed out that the congresswoman had not posted anything on either her personal...

The harasser, right-wing provocateur Alex Stein, recorded himself as he catcalled the congresswoman and posted the video on his Twitter account. Ocasio-Cortez later shared Stein's video, calling it a "deeply disgusting incident."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tore into U.S. Capitol Police for failing to forestall the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, alleging some officers were sympathetic to the event. Ocasio-Cortez stressed that authorities never "got to the bottom" of whether officers aided and were "opening the doors" to rioters who stormed the Capitol while warning fellow lawmakers, "We're not safe" at the Capitol.

Democratic mayoral candidate Eric Adams insisted Wednesday that a campaign speech in which he blasted left-wing politics wasn’t aimed specifically at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — after he was dressed down during a Washington, DC, meeting with the city’s congressional delegation, The Post has learned. During a news conference following the sit-down, Adams said, “I’m not running against a member of Congress, I’m running against philosophies.” But he also acknowledged that his remarks at a Monday fundraiser — which were caught on camera and exclusively reported by The Post — “gave the appearance that there was a personal attack on Alexan...

New York state has hit Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with fines for dodging tax warrants filed against her former business five years ago. The state filed a tax warrant against Brook Avenue Press — a children-oriented publishing house Ocasio-Cortez founded in 2012 — on July 6, 2017, to collect $1,618 in unpaid corporate taxes, the Washington Examiner reported. The tax warrant has increased 52% to cost $2,461 due to the representative not paying the taxes.

If you’re a Christian who believes that abortion is immoral, then Alexandria Ocasio Cortez thinks you should just shut up. As is her wont, AOC took to social media to mock people of faith who believe that abortion is taking a life. Notice how she sneers and uses air quotes to ridicule them. And then accuses “fundamentalist Christians” of wanting to establish a theocracy.She’s engaging in the old anti-Catholic saw that pro-abortionists love to trot out: Keep your rosaries off my ovaries! She then extends it to “fundamentalist” Christians, of whom I’m sure she has little knowledge. There are many...

Republican Rep. Mayra Flores of Texas, who was sworn in as a member of Congress on Tuesday, once called for the jailing of Hillary Clinton and gave her view about both the 2020 presidential election and the January 6 riot at the US Capitol. In a series of tweets first revealed by CNN's KFILE on Thursday, Flores used her personal Twitter account @LARepublicana86 to promote her conservative views and defend former President Donald Trump on the day of the Capitol attack. "If we allow the Democrats to steal THIS election, they will steal EVERY election moving forward!" she tweeted ahead...

The New York Democrat was grilled on the issue by CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash but would not give a straight answer, instead insisting she was fixated on November's midterm elections. The 79-year-old president 'is seeking a second term,' his friend and ally Senator Chris Coons said on Fox News Sunday.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez self-hyped her effort to block a Senate-approved bill that would step up security protections for Supreme Court justices and their immediate family members Thursday — a day after an armed man was arrested for attempting to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The Bronx Democrat posted a video on her Instagram feed of her running up the steps to the Capitol so she could be present on the House floor to stop a unanimous consent request by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to move the measure. In a subsequent video, the “Squad” member claimed McCarthy was trying to...

Just two days ago we reported about the unfortunate death of a Goldman Sachs analyst, who was shot dead on the northbound Q train as it passed the Manhattan Bridge. Daniel Enriquez, who joined Goldman’s research division in 2013, was shot in the chest in an unprovoked attack. According to NYPost at the time, the family of Enriquez had only one message for Mayor Eric Adams: “Do your job … Get crime off the streets.” And they make a crucial point, especially as it relates to this specific attack. Why? Because it was revealed in follow up reporting yesterday that...

"Our Jewish brothers and sisters – they are able to have an abortion according to their faith, you know, there are so many faiths that do not have the same definition of life as fundamentalist Christians…it is theocratic! It’s authoritarian,” AOC said. VIDEO:

Prominent Democrat operatives have warned that if President Joe Biden makes good on his promise and runs for reelection in 2024, he will have to have primary challengers. “If he runs, he will be challenged,” Michael Starr Hopkins told the Hill on Wednesday. Hopkins “enthusiastically” supported Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020 but has soured on the president as an unchallenged nominee. Corbin Trent, a former senior aide to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), echoed Hopkins’s analysis. “If it looks like it’s going to be a free-for-all, then I think it’s going to be back to the 24-person primary,” he said.

"‘The extreme left is taking over’ WHERE. In Texas, Republicans passed a law allowing rapists to sue their victims for getting an abortion," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
