That's so mean but smart has been used to describe my decisions

[Jack Jenkins @jackmjenkins]

You don’t have to be a fan of @AOC or her policies to realize that this line from today’s @WSJ editorial board piece is messed up and should probably read “whose claim to fame is being an elected official in the U.S. House of Representatives, which is, okay, pretty important.”

A woman’s life was saved because a bystander remembered how to do CPR thanks to this scene from The Office.

RT to quite literally save a life.

Kids in high school were so judgmental. In college you could literally see someone riding a unicycle in a dinosaur costume and you would think they're the coolest person ever

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

It really tells you all you need to know about the priorities of Washington Republicans that a bill to make it easier to vote, increase government transparency, get dark money out of politics & empower working people in our elections is met with such disdain. #ForThePeople

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Quote tweet got deleted, but -

I believe workers should enjoy more of the wealth they create, & that democracy belongs in the workplace, too.

GOP believes people should be paid the lowest wages possible, no matter what they produce, so billionaires can scoop up the difference.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

a) this is not an apology
b) you’ve been posting hysteric, misrepresentative articles about me nonstop - many within 24h.

The @DailyCaller, funded by @TuckerCarlson (at @FoxNews), has a well-documented relationship with white supremacy.

Unsurprising they’re targeting me.

This is Clyde. He was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. There’s no pain associated, he just has to work a little harder to get where he wants to go. 14/10 would wibble wobble with

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

GOP have been losing their mind + frothing at the mouth all week, so this was just a matter of time.

There is also a Daily Mail reporter (Ruth Styles) going to my boyfriend’s relative’s homes+offering them cash for ��stories.”

Women in leadership face more scrutiny. Period.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

For those out of the loop, Republicans began to circulate a fake nude photo of me. The @DailyCaller reposted it (!) and refused to indicate it was fake in the title as well.

Completely disgusting behavior from Conservative outlets.

No wonder they defended Kavanaugh so fiercely.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

“Build a wall of steel, a wall as high as Heaven” against immigrants.
- 1924 Ku Klux Klan convention

We know our history, and we are determined not to repeat its darkest hour.

America is a nation of immigrants. Without immigrants, we are not America.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The President defended Neo-Nazis who murdered a woman in Charlottesville.

The Dept of Justice sued him for not renting to Black tenants.

He launched his campaign by calling Mexicans “rapists.”

He banned Muslims.

The President is racist. And that should make you uncomfortable.

[Eric Lipton @EricLiptonNYT]

As of Thursday, DOD will be run by a former senior Boeing executive. EPA is run by a former coal lobbyist. HHS is run by a former pharmaceutical lobbyist. And Interior will be run by a former oil-industry lobbyist. Welcome to 2019.

[Malcolm Nance @MalcolmNance]

At last I’ll say it. You are a disgusting, vile scoundrel. You defile the honor of the White House. Like your dictator friends you attack Americans first! The Constitution will deal with you & afterwards the laws will give you accommodations better suited to traitors & thieves.

[Ari Rabin-Havt @AriRabinHavt]

Let me try to explain.

College for All costs less than the increase in military spending passed in 2017.

That is the reality.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Who wants to tell him that the central premise of Game of Thrones is that walls don’t work? https://t.co/5CQjtB4jUt

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Over 200 members voted for Nancy Pelosi today, yet the GOP only booed one: me.

Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me, fellas 💁🏽‍♀️

[Nickelback @Nickelback]

Well, that’s one way to start your day...

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Double standards are Paul Ryan being elected at 28 and immediately being given the benefit of his ill-considered policies considered genius; and me winning a primary at 28 to immediately be treated with suspicion & scrutinized, down to my clothing, of being a fraud.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The bad news: our president doesn't believe in science.

The good news: today 1,000 young people stood up to demand that Congress take on the fossil fuel industry and transform our energy system to sustainable energy.

We're going to win this fight for our people and planet.
