Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

President Trump has threatened New York City if we dare stand up to him. The people of New York came together and we said, ‘You don’t threaten New York.’

To me, it's this radical idea that working people have economic rights.

And I think the message that that sends is that the Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future.

Our assignment everywhere is to send the strongest fighters for the working class wherever possible.

In nine short days, we will work our hearts out to elect Zohran Kwame Mamdani as the next mayor of the great city of New York.

We demand that we pay to care for our people instead of the flattening of Palestinians.

I am sick of talking about these horse races.

Letitia isn’t backing down, and we need to support her in this critical moment.

The charges are completely baseless.

This is a dangerous escalation of Trump going after those who hold him accountable.

We stand with her, New Yorkers love this woman, I love this woman.

This is about people being able to insure their children.

Because what I’m not going to do is tolerate 4 million uninsured Americans because Donald Trump decided one day he wants to make sure kids are dying because they don’t have access to insurance.

People are going to die. Nobody cares about some election years from now. They care about if their kids can get insulin, if they can put food on the table.

It is so important to understand that these people are all talk. They are all talk. They are negotiating with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, and Democratic leadership and Democrats are united to that end.

People started to say, if you comply with authoritarianism, we are going to vote with our pocketbook.

Authoritarians rely on the perception of power.

In order to mask that reality, Donald Trump is trying to take control of the media, using extortion style tactics.

The Trump administration… rely on everyone complying in advance out of fear…. we cannot be scared of this administration.

I tried to defeat fascism and bigotry, but today, it was too strong. Even for me.

We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

The majority proceeded with a resolution that brings great pain to the millions of Americans who endured segregation, Jim Crow and the legacy of bigotry.

Are we going to do something or are we going to argue over rhetoric? … We have to pass gun safety legislation and stop this… People can finger point all they want.

The scourge of gun violence and political violence must end. The shooting of Charlie Kirk is the latest incident of this chaos and it must stop. We cannot go down this road.

From the moment I was elected, I have felt that I accept a certain level of risk in doing this job.
