Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Having time with our families should not be a matter of charity or profitability.

To your knowledge, did the president ever provided inflated assets to an insurance company?

During the Obama administration, folks thought we have a Democratic supermajority for a while. It lasted four months.

I think our number one priority and what democrats should prioritize is not process and how, but are we passing the deal that helps working people the most? Are we passing the deal that makes the most jobs? Are we passing a deal that…

Our bill, H.R. 2070, contains, guarantees, and mandates a full information campaign so that Puerto Ricans will know what they are voting for.

Puerto Ricans deserve to have the full facts and information about what not only the statehood bill contains but also what that transition would mean because we cannot make these decisions with a lack of information and find out afterwards…

This bill, if passed, will not immediately admit Puerto Rico as a state.

Our bill does not oppose statehood whatsoever.

A true decolonization process exempts the current territorial status.

Puerto Rico as an island does, in fact, have a right to a fair and democratic self-determination process.

Self-determination is a human right.

I am a proud co-lead along with Representative Nydia Velazquez on H.R. 2070, which is the Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act.

I am not aware that we had any intelligence indicating that hundreds of individuals were going to storm the Capitol.

It seems as though there may have been either a failure to collect intelligence on this insurrection prior to it happening or failure to act on intelligence that we may have had.

I'm sick and tired of the constant vilification intentional mischaracterization in public targeting of Ilhan Omar coming from our caucus.

If playing patty-cake with GOP senators is really worth the dismantling of people’s voting rights, setting the plan on fire, allowing massive corporations and the wealthy did not pay their fair share of taxes, et cetera.

The Biden administration`s immigration policy writ large is not working. It`s wrong and it`s inhumane.

But the other aspect of this is that H.R.1 stands up against lobbyists and dark money. And I would reckon to think that this is probably just as much a part of Joe Manchin calculus as anything else.

I think Joe Manchin is absolutely one of them. I mean, Joe Manchin represents a state that is not very diverse. Joe Manchin does not represent a very large population of Black voters whose right to vote is constantly under attack.

I think that those of us and those Democrats who really acknowledge the existential threat and the assault on the right to vote -- and really, when I say recognize it, I mean, they`re putting the pieces together between what the Republican…

Thank you so much, Chairwoman Waters, and thank you to all of our witnesses who are here today for sharing your experience and expertise.

The reason I take issue with this term 'surge' and all of these things at the border and just even if -- forget whatever you want to call it. The situation in general is unacceptable.

I think that their outreach and collaboration with House progressives -- while I wasn`t there at the time, from what I`m hearing from my colleagues -- is less contentious than it was with even the Obama administration. And so when it comes…

This was an all-out attempted coup. Mike Pence was taken out of the senate chamber something like 60 seconds before these terrorists, insurrectionists got into the Senate chamber. There are things that happened that day that if 60 seconds…
