Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called for Democrats to elect “brawlers” who fight for the working class to counter GOP power and oppose policies endorsed by figures like Elon Musk.

Speaking alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders in Las Vegas, she criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not filibustering a GOP spending bill and labeled the decision a “tremendous mistake.”

Ocasio-Cortez urged voters to support candidates willing to take bold stances.

She continues her “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Sanders across Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona.

    Elizabeth Warren talks a big game, but she shrivels under pressure. I’d love her if she were half the person she claims to be.

      Honestly, I’ll take that any day of the week. It’s far better than someone like Newsom who is actively courting right wing figureheads so he can agree with them about how bad progressives are.

      The party would be so much better if we could get rid of the members that hate progressives.
