    She’s the best, incredibly inspiring.

    Pretty open and shut for the both of them, presiding over cases they have material interest in.

    Kick their ass.

      Which is why I’m honestly surprised reich-wingers haven’t tried to murder her

        Knocking on wood.

        There was that creepy anime assassination video by fellow congressman gosar, AOC has mentioned receiving multiple death threats and one of the capital rioters said he’d bring guns next time to “assassinate AOC”, so awful threats are happening.

        Same guy that tweeted a selfie from inside the capital "just want to incriminate myself a little lol.”

        AOC is very clear that she believes had they not escaped during the riot, assassinations would have occurred.

        I’m happy that she is safe.

        Knock on wood.

        They did, though, on January 6th! They were looking for her and others.

        I’m sure they have tried, I’m also sure she’s probably pretty careful about her day to day life knowing the amount of potential enemies she has

      Well… they did just legalize gratuities for political favors.

      Not quite as open and shut anymore.

      Open and shut case… if the Dems controlled the house. But not enough democrats were voted into office, so these articles go to MAGA Mike Johnson, and unfortunately, his trash can.

      But AOC knows this. Her goal is to keep this in the press so voters remember it in Nov. That’s the real play. No one is actually getting impeached this term. Mike Johnson is a Christian nationalist who loves what those activist judges are doing. No way he’s brining this to the floor. And if he did, AOC doesn’t have a simple majority.
