Last night, our campaign office in the Bronx was vandalized and we are in the processing of cleaning it up. Our office is a hub in the community and we want it to be a safe space for all of our neighbors.

Today, JD Vance cast the deciding vote in the Senate to kick 17 million Americans off their health insurance. AOC is using her list to urge people to call their Representatives to NOT vote for this disastrous bill. Find your rep at the link below: ocasiocortez.com/call-now

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Folks, we've raised over $50,000 today so far for @WCKitchen's Gaza food relief efforts. It's not too late to contribute to, if you can. Link below: secure.actblue.com/donate/aoc-s...

AOC is fundraising for World Central Kitchen’s vital food relief program in Gaza. Palestinian families in Gaza are facing starvation and WCK is ready to scale up operations the moment aid is allowed in. If you can, support here: bit.ly/4kIAX1n

AOC is raising funds to support Rep. McIver after Trump's DOJ charged her after trying to enter an ICE facility with other elected officials to inspect the treatment of detainees. If you can, chip in below. secure.actblue.com/donate/mcive...

News: AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21. AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors.

AOC, Bernie, & over 12,000 friends in Nampa, Idaho tonight.

Hello from Nampa, ID! This is the crowd to see AOC & Bernie before the program has even started.

What a welcome for @AOC in Salt Lake City with an at capacity crowd!

Bernie and AOC are back on the road. Next stop: Los Angeles tomorrow. Followed by: Utah, Idaho, and Montana.

ChatGPT ass presidency

Folks.

The past three days, over 86,000 people came out to rally with Bernie Sanders and AOC in Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada. Millions more watching at home. People all across this country are willing to fight for a better world. They deserve leaders that will too.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

AOC went live to respond to Trump’s Congressional address. Here’s a thread of standout moments 👇

AOC: Mayor Adams.. the only permissible way to refuse to answer a question during a congressional proceeding is by pleading the fifth amendment. Is it your intention to plead the fifth?

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Put your Joint Address questions here and I’ll see if I can answer some as I go ⬇️

News from AOC: “I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here [Bluesky] instead. Then going on IG Live after.”

If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Folks, we're at over $125,000 raised so far. Thank you to everyone who has contributed and signed up to volunteer. If you'd like to support, links are still active below. 👇

AOC has raised over $90,000 in the past 24 hours for those impacted by the LA wildfires. Thanks to everyone who has chipped in so far. If you're able to support, here's a link that goes 100% to organizations on the ground: secure.actblue.com/donate/aoc-la

Hmm can we workshop the name please? They’re going to be bullied by the skibidi kids

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

This morning, AOC joined striking Amazon Teamsters in solidarity at the picket line in Queens. The workers are striking until Amazon comes to the table to negotiate a fair contract.

@aoc.bsky.social : “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.”

@aoc.bsky.social "My job is not to build personal acceptance by the Democratic Party. My job is to build power for working people."

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

You know it’s bad when even Trump is pity posting through it 💀

An unelected billionaire was crowned co-President by the Republican Party. They’ve given him the influence to make a damn post that throws a spending bill into limbo cause House Republicans are scared of him. No greater example of oligarchy. Where the ultra-wealthy run the show.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

👋

Tried my best. Sorry I couldn’t pull it through everyone - we live to fight another day. ♥️
