Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who proposed “Green New Deal” climate change legislation, warned that melting glaciers could release ancient diseases that the modern world is incapable of handling. The first-term Democrat from New York said she woke up while on vacation at 3:30 in the morning worried about the consequences of climate change. “I’m 29 years old, I really struggle sometimes with the idea of how to be a policymaker, and potentially have a family in the time of climate change,” she said on Instagram live Tuesday, listing a number of ​impending ​environmental catastrophes like melting glaciers and rising sea levels....

A new analysis of those who have given political contributions to socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) reelection campaign has reportedly found that only 10 contributors live inside her district. "The FEC only requires that political campaigns disclose the names and addresses of individuals who contribute over $200 to their campaigns during an election," The Daily Caller News Foundation's Andrew Kerr reported. "The $1,525.50 Ocasio-Cortez received from her New York constituents represents less than 1% of her campaign's itemized contributions reported to the FEC in the first half of 2019." While Ocasio-Cortez has outraised all other freshman representatives, the DCNF found...

Only 10 people who live within Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s congressional district have been recorded making donations to her reelection campaign in 2019, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of available Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. Ocasio-Cortez outraised all other 87 freshmen representatives in the first half of 2019 in individual contributions, but the New York Democrat came in second-to-last place in terms of reported itemized contributions from the people she represents.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) said in a tweet Friday that Democrats will work hard and win over Texas in 2020. The freshman lawmaker responded to a tweet from MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, which read, “Time for the GOP to start fully freaking out about Texas.” Ocasio-Cortez took Hayes’s sentiments a step further in a tweet completely in Spanish, telling supporters to get ready because they are “going to work hard and win in Texas” Hayes’s tweet followed Rep. Will Hurd’s (R-TX) decision not to seek reelection, leaving the 23rd Congressional District of Texas wide open.

Remember reports that President Donald J. Trump slammed Speaker of the House Paul Ryan for not understanding loyalty? Cliff Simms, a former White House staffer, said in his book the president told Ryan that the GOP congress was constantly beaten by the Democratic Party because Nancy Pelosi essentially made sure they never publicly fought and remained cohesive. Well, flash forward to 2019 and there is an all-out civil war going in Speaker of the House Pelosi's part that is replete with accusations of racism, sexism, and ageism that leftists typically reserve for hurling at Republicans. Last night may have reached...

Ready for DemocRATS to Raze Down Your House? It was on the Green New Deals FAQ as well as getting rid of farting cows and airplanes. But are you ready for your house to be bulldozed? Oh, and since we are not talking of how to pay for it, would a new one be yours or would it belong to the State? Since AOC is a Socialist, we believe it would be the State and therefore you could be booted from it at any time. Oh the Joys of Socialism. Wait, they did say a tax North of 70%, so...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has finally revealed her grand scheme to regulate cow farts. The part of her Green new Deal that was ridiculed the most has now been explained by the 29-year-old. But the thing is, the idea and the reasoning behind it is still ridiculous. The explanation was made on the premiere of Showtime’s “Desus & Mero,” The New York Post reported. “And so it’s not to say you get rid of agriculture, it’s not to say we’re gonna force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “But it’s to say, ‘Listen, we...

Not to gratuitously insult Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but she has to be one of the most, um, lightly-informed pols to wander onto the national stage in a long time. But that doesn't stop Chuck Todd from lavishing praise on her. Discussing his just-concluded interview with Ocasio-Cortez with fellow MSNBC host Ari Melber, Todd found reason to variously describe her as thoughtful, refreshing, impressive and smart.
