I brought AOC tortillas from H-E-B.

They make people feel better after a tough night, and that's what the Spurs are going to give Knicks fans tonight.

Go Spurs go!

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.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Wishing a joyous and blessed Eid al-Adha to all those observing today.

On this special day to so many in our community, we send our warmest wishes for a wonderful time with your family.

Eid Mubarak!

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

On Memorial Day, let us remember and honor the brave Americans who gave their lives in service to our country.

We are forever grateful for their courage, and recommit ourselves to building a country worth their ultimate sacrifice.

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.

My heart is with the loved ones of the three victims killed and the entire San Diego community impacted by last night’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

We must all recommit ourselves to the work of rooting out Islamophobia and all forms of bigotry.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Access to affordable, fresh food should not be a luxury determined by zip code; it should be a right.

That is why I am grateful to Mayor Mamdani and the NYCEDC for their work to open a public grocery store in Hunts Point and strengthen food access across the South Bronx.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

In the richest city in the richest country in the history of the world, nobody should be going hungry.

That's why we're opening five city-owned grocery stores, one in each borough, starting with The Bronx.

Lower Prices. Good food. Publicly owned.

Hunts Point next year. Every borough by 2029.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The Nakba never ended. The Israeli apartheid regime is still committing genocide in Gaza and violently erasing entire communities across Palestine and Lebanon. I'm leading a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of Nakba and reaffirm Palestinian refugees' right of return.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

I recently spoke with @ilazer about the material consequences of committee hearings.

When I caught the head of the EPA red handed for colluding with Bayer, it helped blow up Bayer’s liability shield in the Farm Bill.

This is what accountability looks like when we come prepared.

[NEW YORK KNICKS @nyknicks]

go time.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

It is time we bring down the cost of housing, healthcare, and child care.

I'm proud to co-lead the Congressional Progressive Caucus’s New Affordability Agenda, so we can put money back in the pockets of Americans and uphold our promises to working families.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Let May Day be a reminder of the courage of workers across the world demanding peace, fair wages, and better working conditions.

History demands more than standing with workers in spirit. We must fight alongside them in Congress every day.

[NEW YORK KNICKS @nyknicks]

THE LARGEST HALFTIME LEAD IN NBA PLAYOFF HISTORY.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Tens of thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Bayer for failing to warn people about the risks of glyphosate exposure.

Now, EPA Administrator Zeldin and Trump are pushing for legal immunity to protect Bayer from being sued by Americans getting cancer from their product.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

There is no place for political violence in our country.

I am relieved that the President and the attendees at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night are safe.

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

An absolute joy to spend the morning at @HHCtweets with @RepAOC and @MayorWu.

Early education is everything and I am so encouraged by our educators and families leading the way.
