Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Anyone who lets this stuff be an excuse to hide from the public and stop doing town halls is not cut out for the job.

The only permissible way to refuse to answer a question during a congressional proceeding such as this is by pleading the Fifth Amendment.

Is it your intention to plead the Fifth today?

For Republicans and a party that love to talk about protecting free speech, they are swift and they love to lay down the hammer.

Trump’s proposed tax cuts are gifts to his billionaire friends.

Trump and the Republicans are coming for Medicaid.

This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed.

This is important not just for the city of New York, but for the people of the United States of America.

Trump’s proposed tax cuts pose a threat to Medicaid and Medicare.

The NRCC wants to extract Republicans out of their communities, out of their districts, so they don’t feel as connected, so they isolate them so they can be more easily manipulated and bullied into cutting Medicaid.

The reason they’re shaking all these couch cushions, and the reason they’re rattling off all these numbers, is because all those numbers they’re trying to add up into one of the most massive tax cuts for billionaires and the 1% probably in…

Don’t you think if you found a bunch of money in the couch cushions that you would put that to expanding Medicaid, improving schools, fixing our roads? Right? But that’s not what they’re planning on doing.

MAGA: Trump is coming for your Medicaid. MAGA: Republicans are coming for your Medicaid.

Donald Trump said a lot of random things about studies and waste and all this other stuff, he did not talk about Medicaid, not once. And as a certain right-wing operative likes to say, ‘MAGA’s on Medicaid.’

The ONLY way the House GOP could even think about upholding their 'no cuts to Medicaid' swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it's almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid.

The president’s promise to cut taxes while also balancing the federal budget meant that Republicans would have to gut Medicaid.

Members of Congress should not be allowed to buy and sell individual stock. We are here to serve the public, not to profiteer.

Musk is a leech on the public. No matter how many billions he gets in tax cuts and government contracts, it will never be enough for him.

Threatening criminal proceedings for exercising the First Amendment is itself a violation of the First Amendment.

Mr. Homan’s repeated attempts to use your agency to politically intimidate duly elected officials are a textbook threat to the right to free speech in the United States.

Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start.

I write to request clarity on whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) has yielded to political pressure and attempts to weaponize the agency against elected officials whose speech they disagree with.

Musk is a leech on the public.

Now he's going after the elderly, the disabled, and orphaned children so he can pocket it in tax cuts for himself. It's disgusting.
