Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC
US Congresswoman, NY-14. In a modern, moral, and wealthy society, no American should be too poor to live. People-Funded, takes no lobbyist💰. Personal account.
The cynics will tell you that one vote won’t change anything. But what they don’t tell you is that nothing can change without a vote. The truth is, the world doesn’t belong to the cynics. It’s up to us. New York: It’s time to vote.🗳️ Tuesday, June 25th. Spread the word.
Ummm so let me get this straight: Republicans have ground Congress to a halt and are considering adjourning the entire House for 6 weeks to avoid releasing the info they have on Epstein? What is going on here?
NEWS - House Rules Committee isn’t returning AT ALL tonight and likely not AT ALL THIS week amid Epstein + other issues, per sources Scalise confirms to me it’s “not likely” Rules return - meaning House would leave without advancing immigration and several other bills
Good afternoon! AOC & Paul Tonko are in Plattsburgh, NY (Stefanik’s district). This is the overflow for a sold out town hall that’s about to start. About 10% of the entire population of the town is out today to make their voices heard.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to…
Nice try @AGPamBondi. What about videos, photographs and other recordings? What about FBI 302’s (witness interviews)? What about texts and emails? That’s where the evidence about Trump and others will be. Grand jury testimony will only relate to Epstein and Maxwell.
President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
Why are you fighting back against releasing what your administration and DOJ knows about Epstein? Release the unedited video and the files. Bring it to light. That should clear everything up.
Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bullshit. The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it. Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?
The Rules Committee is now voting on an actual bill that would force the release of the Epstein documents. Every House Republican voted no. Every Democrat voted yes.
Every House Republican on the rules committee voting against a bill to release the Epstein files
.@AOC on Cuomo staying in the race: "I, as a Democrat, support the Dem nominee. It's disappointing to see how people want the party to rally behind the nom when that nom is them — & then ... that principle gets thrown out the window when the nom is ... someone they don't like"
This is a great idea from @AOC and @RepJoeNeguse. Every Democrat should support it and run on it along with banning congressional stock trading.
.@AOC & @RepJoeNeguse want to ban former members from lobbying

BREAKING: Metadata shows the FBI’s ‘raw’ Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified. wired.com/story/metadata…
Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?
Circling back here
“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” — An incredulous Trump lashes out a reporter asking about the DOJ now concluding that there is no Epstein “client list,” which has drawn the ire of MAGA world
This last sentence is a joke and this is an absolute embarrassment for you and for the @nytimes. As the person in charge of standards and trust--you failed. This long thread should actually include an apology. To your readers.
We heard from readers who wanted more detail about this initial source. That’s fair feedback. We printed his online alias so readers could learn more about the person. The purpose of this story was to help illuminate the thinking and background of a major mayoral candidate.
Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
No matter how many times Trump or official gov’t accounts say it, the bill does not cut taxes on Social Security — because Social Security changes are prohibited in reconciliation. What it does is create a new tax deduction for seniors, subject to limits.
Maybe most alarming thing happening around this bill is that the govt is now sending out literal disinformation to Social Security recipients from official gov accounts:
AOC: They’re giving people crumbs and they are taking away the whole loaf.
Tax cuts for billionaires are permanent in the big Republican bill. Tax cuts on tips expire in 2028.
