Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

No Democrat should be voting to advance Trump’s nominees while all of this stuff is going on.

First and foremost, this idea that people are immigrants or illegal, etc... we're talking about ourselves.

Understand the consequences of what this means because for America to not accept immigrants is the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

But let's be clear, the people who are voting in this way oftentimes don't respond to a case of compassion and humanity.

For all of the people who cast a vote based on grocery prices and inflation, if you think your groceries are expensive now, wait until the farms are empty.

As though that’s never been an idea before.

All of these people acting like, ‘Oh, we’re going to set up an agency to identify waste,’

This is another blatant attempt by this administration to control the media landscape.

We have to stop playing nice in the Senate and block every damn thing that we can.

You are totally making things up. I'm not even worth $1 million. Nor even $500k. I don't even own a house! I am one of the lowest net worth members of Congress, trade no stock, and take no outside income. My filings are public. I loathe…

When a private prison camp opens in your town and they say they didn't know this was going to happen, know that they did and that they voted for it. When a Dreamer has disappeared from your classroom and when the President of the United…

What this also opens the door for is for women to try to perform a very specific kind of femininity for the very kind of men who are drafting this bill.

Thank you for your concern about women for the first time that I've seen.

I know who loves this bill. Yes, bigoted folks love this bill. Assaulters love this bill. But also, CEOs love this bill.

Tried my best. Sorry I couldn’t pull it through everyone—we live to fight another day.

A lot of it has to do with using our bully pulpit to ring the alarm and let the American people know what's going on.

Yeah, it is, but I think we've demonstrated this term, even being in the minority, we've been able to thoroughly dismantle a lot of the Republican initiative.

Of course, very, very. And what we’re seeing at the Los Angeles Times and the takeover of media, it's extremely concerning.

I think that we shouldn't be afraid to lean into the sources of a lot of people's economic pain, and we need to be forthright.

We should be going after corporations. We need to be going after corruption.

We must do all that we can, now, to mark a different future for the American people—one that inspires us to reject the siren calls of division, corruption, and authoritarianism.

I will lead by example by always keeping the lives of everyday Americans at the center of our work.

Even in the minority, we have leveraged the committee's substantial talent to empower our membership, derail the majority's attempts to launch baseless impeachment proceedings against President Biden.

This is not a position I seek lightly. The responsibility of leading Democrats on the House Oversight Committee during Donald Trump's second term in the White House is a profound and consequential one.
