AOC facing expulsion from Congress, and revocation of national security clearance.

Only a complete MAGA idiot troll would post something that they admit to not knowing if any of the content is true or not ... and then expand on the premise.

In other words, Trump Chumps are willing to spread lies will wailing about everything else being liberal "fake news". Goebbels must be looking up from Hell with a shit eating grin on his face.

:palm: This is what's running the country. God help us all.

Wrong.


A person who was not sure of the story being true or not, would often post it on a political forum, with the caveat that the story has not been verified, but certainly could be true... to let the forum members look into it, and discuss the subject in detail, to attempt to prove, or disprove the story.


This is often done by people on both sides of the aisle, though recently the Lefties have taken to not giving the caveat of uncertainty, and then absolutely insisting that the story is true, no matter how much evidence surfaces, to show that it is bunk.

Hey stupid, do you realize that all you've done is just elaborate on a narrative/accusation with NO PROOF? Isn't that what YOU and your MAGA mush brained ilk consistently accuse the "left" of doing?

Here's a thought: SIT ON YOUR BRAINS AND WAIT FOR VERIFICATION VIA VALID, DOCUMENTED SOURCES BEFORE YOU BUILD ON A "WHAT IF?" Couldn't hurt.

“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”​

Dumbass or troll ?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the U.S. Representative for New York's 14th congressional district since January 2019, has made several notable contributions during her time in Congress. Below is a summary of some of her key accomplishments based on available information up to March 10, 2025:

Legislative and Policy Contributions​

  1. Green New Deal Resolution:
    • In February 2019, AOC, alongside Senator Ed Markey, introduced the Green New Deal resolution. This ambitious framework aims to address climate change and economic inequality through a 10-year national mobilization. It calls for transitioning to renewable energy, achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and includes provisions for a federal jobs guarantee, universal healthcare, and basic income. While the resolution itself has not become law, it has influenced over a dozen related legislative proposals and shaped Democratic climate policy, notably contributing to aspects of the Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022.
  2. American Climate Corps:
    • AOC played a key role in advocating for the creation of the American Climate Corps, a program announced in 2023 that provides thousands of young people with jobs in climate-related fields. This initiative aligns with her Green New Deal vision and was highlighted as a significant win in her 2023 recap.
  3. FEMA Funeral Assistance Program:
    • During the COVID-19 pandemic, AOC authored legislation that established the largest FEMA funeral assistance program in U.S. history. This program provided financial relief to families for funeral costs, reflecting her focus on supporting working-class communities during crises.
  4. Community Project Funding:
    • AOC has secured millions in federal funding for her district, including nearly $7 million in 2021 for community projects in the Bronx and Queens. These funds have supported local infrastructure, education, and environmental justice initiatives.
  5. Legislative Activity:
    • Over her first term (2019-2021), she introduced 23 pieces of legislation and submitted 30 amendments by the end of 2021. Examples include doubling funding for lead water infrastructure updates in schools and childcare programs and prohibiting military aid to Saudi Arabia’s Rapid Intervention Force. While not all have passed into law, they demonstrate her active engagement in shaping policy.

Advocacy and Grassroots Impact​

  1. Fundraising for Disaster Relief:
    • In response to the 2021 Texas winter storm, AOC raised millions of dollars for relief efforts, showcasing her ability to mobilize resources quickly for affected communities outside her district.
  2. Labor and Housing Advocacy:
    • She supported historic labor strikes in 2023 and joined Representative Cori Bush in a 2021 sit-in on the Capitol steps to extend the federal eviction moratorium, pressuring the Biden administration to act (though the Supreme Court later struck it down). She also introduced the Place to Prosper Act to incentivize affordable housing development.
  3. Environmental Justice Wins:
    • AOC collaborated with groups like New York Lawyers for the Public Interest to stop a proposed NRG fracked gas peaker plant in Queens, a victory for environmental justice in her district.

Political Influence​

  1. Shifting Party Discourse:
    • AOC’s election at age 29, defeating 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley in the 2018 Democratic primary, marked a significant upset and energized the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Her presence has pushed the party leftward on issues like climate, healthcare, and economic equity, influencing 2020 presidential candidates and broader policy debates.
  2. The Squad and Progressive Leadership:
    • As a member of "The Squad" (with Representatives Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley), AOC has amplified progressive priorities, maintaining a high profile through social media and public engagement.

Other Notable Efforts​

  1. Trans Rights Support:
    • In 2019, she helped raise over $300,000 for Mermaids, a UK-based transgender youth support organization, during a livestream event, highlighting her commitment to marginalized communities.
  2. Cohen Investigation:
    • In 2019, during a House Oversight Committee hearing, AOC’s questioning of Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, gained attention for exposing potential financial misconduct, showcasing her ability to leverage congressional oversight.

Context and Criticism​

While AOC has not been the primary sponsor of a major bill that has passed into law, this is not uncommon for junior House members, especially in a polarized Congress where legislation often requires broad bipartisan support or Senate approval. Critics on platforms like X have claimed she’s accomplished “zero” or failed to pass significant legislation, but this overlooks her influence through resolutions, amendments, and advocacy that shape policy indirectly. Her focus on grassroots mobilization and high-profile initiatives like the Green New Deal has had a measurable impact on public discourse and incremental policy wins.

Conclusion​

AOC’s accomplishments include introducing transformative policy ideas, securing funding for her district, and advocating for working-class and marginalized groups. Her tenure reflects a blend of legislative proposals, direct community support, and a redefinition of political engagement through social media and activism, making her a polarizing yet influential figure in American politics as of March 10, 2025.
