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.
Worth noting that while AOC is the highest fundraiser, she has never taken dollar of lobbyist or corporate PAC money.
Our average donation is just $16 this cycle.
Within a corrupt political system, here is an inspiring story which speaks to the beauty and strength of democracy and what we can accomplish when we work together.
In April 2025, as part of our Fighting Oligarchy tour, I held a rally in Missoula, Montana. As we almost always do at our rallies, we invited local union leaders to address the crowd and say a few words about issues impacting their communities. One of those local union leaders was a National Forest firefighter named Sam Forstag, who discussed how Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE had just fired thousands of federal employees — including many in Montana.
As a result of that rally and the 9,000 people there who responded very positively to his remarks, Sam, who had never run for public office before, decided to take on the Establishment and run for the U.S. Congress as a proud member of the American working class.
Guess what? On Tuesday, June 2, after putting together a strong grassroots coalition, Sam Forstag won the Democratic Party’s primary in the First District of Montana. And, with our help, he’ll soon become Congressman Sam Forstag.
.@AOC: “Slowly, over decades, there’s been so much work to get the aspirations of working people smaller and smaller. This year, this time, this moment, today, is the moment we draw the line in the sand and say enough.” @SamForstag
@jpodhoretz Hey there! It’s the first. This is at a mosque, where we were invited by the congregation to speak before prayer. In this context, head coverings are the respectful move. One of the fun parts of being a rep for NYC is learning different customs for so many communities. Cheers!
Eid Mubarak!
Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.
I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.
Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.
In leaked audio recordings, Peter Thiel revealed he told JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral issues, including the development of ethical AI.
Calling Leo XIV the “woke American pope,” he also suggested the American pope was a tool of the Antichrist.
Now, Pope Leo XIV is releasing what’s expected to be an historic encyclical addressing AI tomorrow morning. https://t.co/i3RoHOhJQM
🚨 Every Republican present in the House Appropriations Committee last night voted to make THEMSELVES eligible to collect from Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund. I am not making this up.
I introduced an amendment to stop Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from collecting a single dollar from Trump’s slush fund unless a court actually orders it.
Every single Republican who cast a vote was AGAINST my amendment, making themselves eligible for settlement funds.
Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, have no business lining their own pockets by claiming they were victims of government weaponization. Trump set up this fund, now MAGA Republicans in Congress are ensuring they all can collect from it.
That is exactly the kind of self-dealing corruption the American people are sick of.
We are proud to endorse @HamawyForNJ for Congress in New Jersey's 12th District.
In Congress, Adam will fight for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, universal childcare, and making a New Jersey where working people can thrive.
Election Day is Tuesday, June 2. VOTE!
In ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?,’ the last book he released before he was assassinated, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. warned humanity about “destroying ourselves in the misuse of our own instruments.”
And here we are.
We can still choose better for humankind and for the earth.

This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.
Today I called for EPA and Congressional investigations into the impact of data center construction on local drinking water supplies.
We cannot take water for granted.
BREAKING: @AOC just got an EPA administrator to commit to investigate water quality around data center builds.
Last week, AOC joined More Perfect Union on a trip to Morgan County, Georgia, where she met with residents living near a site that will host a massive Meta data center.
Residents haven't had clean well water since the construction project began.
