She’s high up on the GQP’s bogeyman (or bogeywoman’s) list. It doesn’t seem to stop her, though.

I like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and hope she continues to represent her district in the future if that is her wish.

I like her, as well. If I lived in her district I'd vote for her. I want her to continue to do her job.

She is very proactive on behalf of her constituents and votes her conscience and what will benefit them. She also holds frequent in-person Town Halls and accepts questions beforehand. I have chosen to subscribe to her newsletter rather than that of my own national embarrassment of a Rep. - Stefanik. Who only holds the rare phone Town Hall and blocks those constituents who disagree with her and those who ask questions she doesn't like. She also blamed Liz Cheney for the critical letters to the editor that her support of TFG after the violence and deaths of January 6th became public due to the J6 Select Committee.

These articles are in effect a political stunt in that there will be no committee vote and these articles will never reach the floor of the House. However, these articles do make a great case against Thomas and Alito. Control of the SCOTUS is on the ballot this year and we need to make sure that TFG cannot replace Thomas and Alito with younger assholes





Control of the SCOTUS was on the ballot in the 2016 election and some ignored this issue. We need to keep TFG from replacing Thomas and Alito
