- it's not a claim. it's literally in her publicly available financial disclosure.AOC claims she is worth less than $500k Do you believe the former bartender turned congresswoman?
Readers added contextAOC's finances are publicly available. Her assets are worth up to $46,000 and she owes between $15,001 and $50,000 in student loans. disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/fi… 
- .@BernieSanders calls for emergency $2,000 cash payments to every household in america every month for the duration of the crisis.
- 10 years to the day after his famous 8+ hour filibuster against the extension of the bush tax cuts, bernie is again tonight on the senate floor fighting for working families. this time he’s trying to get direct payments to millions of people amid a pandemic.
- isn’t this the same guy who wielded a chainsaw on stage to signify the jobs he was ending and the benefits he was cutting?Musk: I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price.. What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?
00:00 - this from @AOC is spot on, and no one who seriously cares about the future of the democratic party should disagree with it. nytimes.com/2020/11/07/us/…
- bernie is, of course, one of those 48.President Biden says he's not trying to pull the country to the left: "I'm not Bernie Sanders. I'm not a socialist. I'm a mainstream Democrat...If you notice, 48 of the 50 Democrats supported me in the Senate on virtually everything I've asked." cbsn.ws/3AeCBBw

- “i know that it is rarely the children of the billionaire class who face the agony of reckless foreign policy. it is the children of working families.” – @BernieSanders
- lol at “survived.” @AOC won by ~35,000 votes, 75% – 18%. @RashidaTlaib also won by ~35,000 votes, 66% – 33%.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez survived her primary. Rashida Tlaib did, too. Now it’s Ilhan Omar’s turn today — and the Minnesota congresswoman faces the stiffest challenge of any member of the Squad politi.co/2ChRA4l
- breaking: we found some overwhelming, bipartisan consensus in the u.s. senate.Replying to @CraigCaplan6-87: Senate rejected Sanders (I-VT) motion to instruct their negotiators with the House that semiconductor manufacturing companies receiving federal aid in the science and tech research funding bill don't block their employees from unionizing and outsource their jobs.
- before bernie brought me on to the 2016 campaign, he had one question: “you’ve got a baby, right?” charlie was just over a year old then. “alright we’re going to make sure you can see your baby whenever you want.” and he kept his promise.
