Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took to X on Tuesday to warn that Republicans have a stealth plan to try to implement President Donald Trump's desired national restrictions on voting rights.

The issue concerns a bill being introduced by Republicans to prohibit insider trading on stocks by members of Congress — which, according to Ocasio-Cortez, would also include provisions of the voting-restriction bill known as the SAVE America Act.

"Republicans are trying to pull a trick this week," wrote Ocasio-Cortez. "They say we are voting on an 'insider trading' bill, but have snuck in massive SAVE Act-style voter suppression measures to it. This is a GOP effort to sabotage national mail-in voting, disguised as a trading ban."...

WASHINGTON — Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, had strong words for Republicans complaining about the gerrymandering in Virginia that voters approved on Tuesday, with strong support from her party.

"Wah, wah, wah," Ocasio-Cortez told Raw Story on Wednesday, mimicking a whining baby and laughing in response to a question from reporter Matt Laslo. "Democrats have attempted and asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering, and for 10 years, Republicans have said, 'no.'"

Laslo was asking Ocasio-Cortez to respond to complaints from the GOP that it would be unconstitutional for Democrats to have a 10-1 congressional majority in Virginia, which the gerrymandering ballot measure would make possible. A Virginia circuit court judge blocked the vote-approved redistricting on Wednesday, however. ...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) Saturday saw an unlikely person jump to her defense in a feud with a GOP senator over the weekend.

It started with Sen. John Kennedy, a Republican, attacking Ocasio-Cortez and her past bartending experience.

Kennedy said, "The congresswoman is kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience."...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) offered an explanation for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) speaking out against the Republican Party.

The Georgia Republican has spoken out against GOP leadership – and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), in particular – and continued to press for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which have plagued President Donald Trump for months, and Ocasio-Cortez told her Instagram followers why Greene is speaking out, according to Fox News.

"Here’s some tea for you," Ocasio-Cortez said Monday in a livestream video. "MTG, people are like, 'Oh my God, she’s saying all these things, like, what’s gotten into her lately?' ‘Oh, like, she's bucking against Trump, she's bucking against the administration."...

"Republicans are making a foolish mistake," according to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

In the budgeting fight related to the government shutdown, Donald Trump and other top Republicans have vowed to make cuts that they say are "Democrat priorities," in an attempt to force the Dem hand and compel a resolution in favor of the GOP. But in doing so, Ocasio-Cortez says that they are making a grave miscalculation.

"Republicans are making a foolish mistake by saying they think that making investments in housing and energy are so-called 'Democrat priorities,'" she wrote in an email to supporters late on Wednesday evening. "Cutting the EPA as a 'Democrat priority.' Do you know what this country looked like before the EPA?"...

An analyst on Tuesday revealed the "trick" to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) mockery of Stephen Miller after the congresswoman called the White House deputy chief of staff "insecure" and warned MAGA followers not to follow the "embarrassing cowards."

Ocasio-Cortez didn't mince words last week when she told her Instagram followers to “Laugh at them! Stephen Miller is a clown! I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4′10″.”

An analyst warned that the attack on Miller, who stands 5 feet, 10 inches, could backfire unless it's done "without making it feel as if elitist liberals and man-hating women are taking aim at all conservative men," journalist and lawyer Jill Filipovic writes for Slate....
