Socialist superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez released a “hit list” of potential investigations she plans to pursue should Democrats retake control of Congress this fall, including Trump’s hurricane response and his Supreme Court-supported “travel ban.”
Cortez published her list of “GOP crimes” on social media this week, telling supporters to “get ready to investigate” a series of Republican policies and presidential decisions.
“Get ready to investigate the GOP’s: Federal response to Puerto Rico, Human rights violations under ICE, Environmental Protection Agency firings, Travel Ban & Family Separation, Election security & lack thereof, Corruption, corruption, corruption,” she tweeted.

CORTEZ CONFUSION: Socialist Star Defends NYC Yellow Cabs, Staff Uses UBER
Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez left New York voters scratching their heads this week; claiming “solidarity” with the Big Apple’s yellow cab drivers despite her staff routinely using Uber and other taxi alternatives.
Cortez lamented the plight of the city’s taxi drivers on social media last March following a string of suicides, writing “Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber. What was a living wage job now pays under minimum.”

We need:

– Fed jobs guarantee
– Prep for automation https://t.co/FjfapJV2ni— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 21, 2018
