    If Congress is going to ever be #ForThePeople, we must be accountable ONLY to the people. I’m proud to join @StopBigMoney in demanding we #EndCitizensUnited. Corporations aren't people, and it's time we made that clear. gothamgazette.com/opinion/8360-r…

    Hi @cjpearson, I'm not "the woman sitting next to her". @AOC and I -- and millions like us -- are the future of this country. And you're right to be afraid of us. But you should learn my name.

    Proud to stand with @AOC as she stands up for herself and all women and girls asking to be treated with respect & kindness.
    Rep @AOC: "I do not need Rep. Yoho to apologize to me. Clearly he does not want to. Clearly when given the opportunity he will not & I will not stay up late at night waiting for an apology from a man who has no remorse over calling women & using abusive language towards women."

    .@tedlieu I didn't realize playing someone's own words back to them was now considered "manipulation of facts" 🤔 bit.ly/2D7Yvud

    .@rondesantisFL who is running for Gov in FL has called @Ocasio2018 "this girl...or whatever she is." She isn't a girl, she's a woman and soon she will be a Congresswoman. You should apologize not just to her, but to all the women in Florida your comments have offended.

    .@AOC hit the nail on the head. Climate change is hitting farmers hard in the Midwest. It's hitting working families hard everywhere. When catastrophes happen, remember those that made jokes on the Senate floor instead of doing what is necessary. bit.ly/2CJU0pj

    Joe Biden has been one of the most impactful Presidents in recent memory. I support Joe Biden, and it is time to focus on reelecting him in November.

    The GOP has told us time and time again that raising the minimum wage will hurt businesses. The NYC restaurant industry is showing that talking point to be nothing but hot air.

    “We have found a way to beat organized money, which is organized people.” -@ZohranKMamdani If we are going to defeat dark money and billionaires trying to buy elections, we need the power of the people to band together for progressives like Zohran.
    Mamdani: I also think that we have found exactly the way to defeat organized money, which is organized people

    A year ago, @ZohranKMamdani launched a historic campaign for mayor to combat our city’s affordability crisis. Today, early voting begins, and we have the opportunity to elect him as the next mayor of NYC.
