AOC is one of the few people in Congress who actually tries fighting for real people. The problem is our government is incentivizing companies to poison us by paying off politicians to look the other way. This is by design Capitalism is the fucking problem here

The President is out of touch and out of his mind. Trump doesn’t think about your finances — he even thought gas prices would go up even more.

A lesson we still haven't learned.

CNN explicitly confirms that Israel is blatantly violating the Gaza ceasefire. Christiane Amanpour exposes the Zionist regime for aggressively expanding its illegal occupation zone and launching massive attacks in the West Bank. Washington is completely complicit.
