Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made her life in Congress miserable, frequently singling out the more junior lawmaker because of her age, according to an upcoming book that focuses on the New York Democrat’s congressional career.“The amount of times she told me that stupid ‘I have protest signs older than you in my basement’ shit. Like yeah, but mine don’t collect dust,” Ocasio-Cortez said of the Democratic speaker in a text to Ryan Grim, the Washington bureau chief for The Intercept and a former D.C. bureau chief for HuffPost.

AOC Calls Out a Lonely Man for Being Nice to Her, Exposes Her Own Pathology – RedState

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already building her following on Threads, Facebook’s new censorship-filled competitor to Twitter, and she didn’t disappoint with one of her first posts.

She described the “dangerous creep toward authoritarianism” while sounding alarmingly authoritarian herself, arguing that we should be investigating justices and subpoenaing them. There’s a term for countries that behave in that fashion: banana republics. Appearing on CNN’s “Face the Nation” Sunday with dour-looking host Dana Bash, AOC said: These are the types of rulings that signal a dangerous creep toward authoritarianism and centralization of power in the courts. In fact, we have members of the court themselves with Justice Elena Kagan saying that the court is beginning to assume the power of a legi...
