Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

In my community, in my district, the conclusion is pretty clear.

No, they are making it worse because what the Trump administration is doing is that they are entering sweetheart deal after sweetheart deal.

This is a crisis for so many people, and it’s a crisis for everyday middle-class people.

I mean, he ― we all know he clears a room, right? So, it’s not news that we’re breaking there.

We need to be a party of brawlers for the working class.

You're going to see, I think, people voting for new leadership and to change their representation.

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.'

Mike Johnson saying the quiet part out loud: protect the powerful. Screw everyone else.

If you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes.

We are subsidizing a lot of these pieces of these AI data centers.

The CHIPS Act was passed before we saw this huge development in AI, so the CHIPS Act was really passed before data centers were a thing, so it wasn’t designed to anticipate the huge amount of supply that these centers are sucking up.

The problem that we have is that these big companies think they are governments. They want to be governments. They want to have totally unchecked power.

We need to break up a lot of these companies that are far, far too big and we need to be instituting consumer protections for people.

I’m sorry I'm not going to be breaking any news here as I consider what's going to happen in the future.

It's not only about our substantive positions, but also how we organize and run as well.

I’m definitely inspired and encouraged by all the new faces that we're going to be sending to the states and to Congress next year.

Calling it 'a real betrayal of President Trump's promise.'

This decision to overturn TPS targets nurses, it targets health care workers, it targets domestic workers, cleaners, people who work in restaurants.

I think it's really sad because these decisions are targeting exactly the kind of people that Republican voters said that they did not want targeted in the Trump administration's immigration policy.

They said they had to repaint the pool and now they’ve turned the place into a swamp. They turned it into an actual swamp.

I mean, when you defund science research, when you don’t really understand the first thing about science, yeah, they talked a bunch of smack.

Could I be president? Could I not be president? Maybe, maybe not,

Congress has a moral obligation to stand with the American people and stop the expansion of these data centers until we have a framework to adequately address the existential harm AI poses to our society.

People should not have their health compromised because of AI data center construction, and this idea that this industry should have absolutely no oversight, and then just cite China as the reason for that, I don’t think holds water.

The Democratic Party was blessed to be part of a really robust progressive movement.
