AOC: One of the things that I find mind-boggling is that whenever we want to expand health care in this country, Medicare in this country, education, everyone’s first question in Washington is: How are we going to pay for this?

Yet every single year, the United States Congress rubber-stamps trillions and trillions of dollars in current and expanded spending without anyone asking at all: How are we going to pay for this?

By the way, the Pentagon has continued to fail every audit. They are paying for it with your health care and lack thereof.

So it’s about time that we flip the equation and start asking, How can we afford war after war after war?

@AOC: Public colleges and universities should be tuition-free.

Zohran, city council members, and labor leaders rallied today outside City Hall in support of the Delivery Protection Act, proposed in New York City, which would force Amazon to take responsibility for these workers.

Amazon is using subcontractors to hire and manage delivery drivers without officially employing those workers, all to skirt liability for damages or injuries, and this bill would remedy that injustice.

@AOC: AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, making you dependent on a machine.

[More Perfect University @MPUniversityUS]

@AOC: The House and the Senate have always been institutions for the ruling class in America. Susan Collins is a member of that ruling class. They don’t like that it breaks the rules for @TroyJackson207 to go in there.

[mike casca @cascamike]

aoc and @TroyJackson207 open up a @MPUniversityUS town hall in portland.

Trans voter to @AOC: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that?

AOC:

Young Maine voter: How do we prevent ICE agents from taking our community members?

@TroyJackson207: I've been saying for months now, we should defund ICE. We should abolish ICE.

[More Perfect University @MPUniversityUS]

@AOC: The trillion dollars in health care cuts that Susan Collins paved the way for is threatening the closure of our rural hospitals and our urban hospitals alike. But the first thing to go in every one of these systems is Labor & Delivery and OBGYN.

[More Perfect University @MPUniversityUS]

Maine student to @TroyJackson207: How do you pitch Medicare For All in rural areas where people aren't as used to the idea?

[More Perfect University @MPUniversityUS]

Young voter to @AOC and @TroyJackson207: America first or Israel first?

[More Perfect University @MPUniversityUS]

Maine voter: What are your plans on Day 1?

@AOC: We will be opening investigations into the heads of every single one of these agencies. We will never get our country back if we allow criminals to have cabinet seats in the United States.

[More Perfect University @MPUniversityUS]

Maine college student: I'm on the autism spectrum. What can be done in the House of Representatives to push back the narrative that Tylenol causes autism?

@aoc: We need to get big money out of politics so that we can have qualified professionals making these reviews.

[More Perfect University @MPUniversityUS]

@AOC: "Palantir is going out to lunch on the $70 billion in ICE funding that Susan Collins helped rubber stamp."

[More Perfect University @MPUniversityUS]

Maine student: How can we bring back more privacy online?

@TroyJackson207: "We need real regulation to protect people, especially young people. That's what the billionaires are spending money in Maine to prevent."
