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.

Rep. @AOC just introduced a powerful set of amendments to the NDAA, addressing human rights and infrastructure issues from Brazil to Bangladesh. The U.S. can and should have a proactive, justice-oriented foreign policy

AOC on Water Crisis in Puerto Rico: You have people who can’t get water out of their taps, and yet golf courses are being watered without interruption. People are really suffering tremendously. So we want to make sure that we are introducing amendments around water quality across the board.

AOC responds to centrists telling socialists to leave the Party: "You can't tell them to get out and then in a Presidential cycle tell them they have an obligation to vote for you".

AOC on JD Vance: “He wants more of the same. He doesn’t want anything to change in this country. He wants to continue the reality that corruption is normal and he loves the way the country is being governed right now. He loves that you can start an illegal war and make tons of people rich and send Americans into harms way and it’ll barely be a blip on people’s radars. His vision for the future is exactly the same and your life won’t change so long that he’s in charge”

THIS MORNING. .@AOC will join Keep Hope Alive with Rev. Jesse Jackson at 9:30am.

Congratulations to our newest members of the NYC congressional delegation. From public servants to union organizers to community activists, the path is different but the work is the same. We must decisively address the affordability crisis and crush far-right extremism!

AOC: Mike Johnson paints this as though it’s some partisan witch hunt. But if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes. And he’s talking about running a protection racket. And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history. And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, I'm the only thing standing between you, and a consequence that should rattle at the conscience of every American. What he wants to do is create—or rather, not even create, because it’s already been created—but protect a class of impunity in America that says, “You can commit whatever crime, and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.” And that is a model of extortion in American politics. And you know what? That’s their pitch.

AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. And they have to constantly churn out what they want people to be afraid of—to be afraid of socialists, to be afraid of immigrants, to be afraid of women. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you. And that is the large corporations that are engaged in profiteering and jacking up your prices for no good reason. It’s going to be this administration that is engaged in record levels of swindling, theft, tariffs, and attacks on your housing. And so this is kind of their new thing of the day. But I think that people are feared out. I think everyone’s nerves are shot from constantly being taught and told what country, person, or community to be afraid of. And they just want a solution. They want their groceries to be more affordable. They want to figure out how we’re going to get health care. They want our housing to get under control. And I think that we’re ready for an affirmative vision, and we’re ready for an affirmative agenda.

We are proud to endorse Justin J. Pearson for Congress in Tennessee’s 9th District. Justin will be a fearless fighter for the working people of Tennessee, not billionaires or corporations. Go to votejustinj.com to join the movement.

Wow..House Energy and Commerce Committee ranking member Frank Pallone calls for a nationwide data center moratorium at start of markup of legislation on more modest Ratepayer Protection Act. Becomes highest-ranked Dem to call for this

My friend @AOC and I never back down. We deliver. We’re in this fight together — for every family in the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and all across New York.

Congratulations, @ruwaromman! 🥳 Your heart for service and relentless advocacy for the working people of Georgia speaks for itself. We are cheering you on as we watch your star rise 🌟

DREAMS COME TRUE #LGK

But taxing wealth so normal people can afford to see a doctor and not go bankrupt over inhalers is radical left. OK

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
