AOC, Sanders tell supporters to mask up for West Coast town halls

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are taking the “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies out West next week – and advising supporters to mask up to participate. 

Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, Fox News Digital can confirm that the RSVP for the events in Denver and Las Vegas includes guidance that “masks are advised for all attendees of this event.”

A post shared by conservative podcaster Stephen L. Miller on Friday about the Denver event had many wondering why masks would be advised for an outdoor event in 2025. 

Sanders did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry about the mask guidance.

AOC Caught With Hand in The Cookie Jar — Charged Taxpayers Thousands For Dance Lessons and Restaurant Parties

America’s favorite socialist politician has been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been secretly charging taxpayers thousands of dollars for dance lessons and lavish parties at Mexican restaurants.

The popular X account Paul A. Syzpula did some digging into AOC’s expenses and found that she spent $850 on “training” from a dance company and $3384 at a Mexican restaurant in Virginia.

Syzpula also established that AOC had at least 22 people working for her between October and December 2024, at a cost of nearly half a million dollars.

At least one of these individuals had been residing in the U.S. illegally.

Illegal Alien Who Served as an Aide to AOC Self-Deports from America

A former employee of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has surrendered to President Trump and gotten out of dodge.

Migrant Insider revealed on Thursday that Diego de la Vega, an illegal alien who worked for AOC as a deputy communications director after serving on her campaign in 2021, decided that he no longer felt safe living in America and decided to self-deport to Colombia.

De la Vega arrived in America from Quito, Ecuador as a 7-year-old in 2001 on a visitor’s visa that he overstayed. He told Migrant Insider that he long lived in fear due to his status as an illegal but patted himself on the back for taking advantage of his undeserved shot at the American dream.

“It was very clear to me early on that our status was different. Even as a child, I understood what being illegal meant. We knew we had to protect ourselves,” de la Vega explained to Migrant Insider. “We lived in fear because we were not of the right status, but I had a pretty good childhood in New York.

“We worked hard, starting out in a basement apartment. But we went to school and got jobs.”

But now he feels like the United States is a place of exile for him and believes he will never return.

“It’s bittersweet. I hadn’t left the country in 23 years — from age seven to age 30,” he added. “Now, I can’t go back to the U.S. It feels like exile. It’s a very permanent move.”

“But my wife and I are confident we made the right decision. And, after some time, it’s been a real pleasure to be here.”

For her part, AOC had only positive things to say about De la Vega.

“Diego is amazing,” Ocasio-Cortez told Migrant Insider. “We love him.”

Panicked AOC Sends Desperate Letter to AG Pam Bondi, Begging to Know if She’s Under Investigation for Coaching Criminal Aliens on How to Evade ICE

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the firebrand socialist darling of the radical left, is sweating bullets.

And who’s got her running scared? None other than America’s no-nonsense “Border Czar,” Tom Homan, who’s vowed to hold her accountable.

In a frantic letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the New York congresswoman is scrambling to find out if the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating her for coaching illegal aliens on how to evade ICE.

The controversy erupted when Tom Homan openly criticized Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, accusing her of leveraging her platform to obstruct immigration enforcement efforts.

This accusation follows his statement on February 13, 2025, where Homan revealed his request to the Deputy Attorney General to initiate a probe into AOC’s activities, ominously noting that she would be “in trouble now.”

Tom Homan told Laura Ingraham: I sent an email today to Deputy Attorney General. At what level is that impedement? Is that impediment? I’m not an attorney. I’m not a prosecutor. Is that impediment? Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts. If so, what are we going to do about it? Is she crossing the line? I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out where is that line that they cross.

AOC proudly announced that she was holding webinars to teach illegal aliens how to avoid ICE agents in New York City.

The letter sent on Thursday reads like a paranoid manifesto from a politician who knows the jig might be up.

AOC Sends Her Supporters Bizarre Fundraising Email, Compares Elon Musk and Republicans to Nazis

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has sent a bizarre fundraising email to her supporters in which she compared Elon Musk and Trump supporters to Nazis.

In an email asking for her supporters to send her money to help push back on “billionaire, right-wing donors,” AOC says she would rather be dead than be aligned with people who she claims are sympathetic to Nazi ideology.

The email states:

This is the United States of America.

I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind a presidential seal in this country: we hate Nazis. Kind of a foundational, defining thing.

In fact, two of the most foundational, defining things about American history is that we beat the Confederates and we beat the Nazis.

And I don’t know what side people may be on today, but I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis, and I will do that until I am six feet in the ground.

It’s kind of foundational to me as a human being. So, if you’re cool and want to defend the Nazi salutes, that’s on you.

I’m on the opposite side of that. I’m not with the Nazis. How about that?

In solidarity, Alexandria

Predicting the Opposition’s Next Move

NY Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has produced a recording of her silly self saying “We are about to enter a political period of fascism and authoritarianism. It is not uncommon to jail political dissidents or legislative opponents.”

This is precisely the outcome that AOC and her comrades want. As we saw during the George Floyd riots, a shadowy network of DNC-aligned nonprofits, funded by leftist billionaires, can quickly mobilize hordes of mentally deranged youth to take to the streets to cause chaos, violence, and property destruction.

These people want the new Trump administration to crack down on their emotionally dysregulated shock troops, and they will use trained agents-provocateurs to execute their plan. A crackdown will seemingly justify AOC’s claim that “We are about to enter a political period of fascism and authoritarianism.”

How to nip this in the bud before it results in injuries, death, property destruction, and pile of needless drama and distraction?

Radical Left Activates Anti-Trump Protests As AOC Riles Up Rioters

Not even 24 hours after President-elect Donald Trump won more votes in Illinois this general election than in the previous two, and after winning the US election in a massive red wave sweep, far-left protesters gathered outside the Trump Hotel in Obama’s Chicago.

The protests appear to have been highly organized and well-planned before the election, given the coordination among activists, the hundreds—if not thousands—of protesters—many holding signs—and the likely pre-approved protest routes from City Hall. 

Organizers shouted into megaphones, “Trump is a fascist” and “racist,” echoing hate speech spewed by the defunct Harris-Walz campaign in the months leading up to November 5.

Biden and AOC demanded a $15/hr minimum wage, but their Climate Corps pays less than $12 per hour

President Joe Biden and New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have loudly advocated for a minimum-wage increase and for addressing what they say is a “climate crisis.” Based on wages offered for the positions listed under Biden’s taxpayer-funded American Climate Corp (ACC) program — many of which pay under $12 per hour — when the two goals conflict, climate change is the priority. 

Biden: “More than a paycheck. It’s about dignity.”

The ACC, according to Biden and Ocasio-Cortez, is modeled on former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Great Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps. It aims to put “more than 20,000 young Americans to work fighting the impacts of climate change today while gaining the skills they need to join the growing clean energy and climate-resilience workforce of tomorrow.” 

Ocasio-Cortez has been advocating for the program for years. 

“This is not a pipe dream, and this is not some big progressive vision that is quote-unquote unrealistic,” Ocasio-Cortez said at a press conference in July 2021 announcing the creation of the program. 

At the same time, Biden and Ocasio-Cortez have been advocates for increases in the federal minimum wage. Shortly after taking office, Biden issued an executive order to give federal employees and employees of federal contractors a $15 per hour minimum wage. 

“A job is about more than a paycheck. It’s about dignity. When I was running for president, I said it was past time to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour,” Biden said in a statement. 

When opposition arose over the inclusion of a bill to increase the federal minimum wage in the Democrats’ covid pandemic relief package, Ocasio-Cortez upset that the bill was even being debated. 

“It is utterly embarrassing that ‘pay people enough to live’ is a stance that’s even up for debate,” she posted on X.

AOC Ripped for Calling NYC Unaffordable for Working-Class

The New York Post editorial board ripped Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., after she complained that New York City was too expensive for “working-class people.”

The board agreed that the lawmaker was right but pointed the blame at her for pushing the very policies that have made the city too expensive.

The editorial, published Tuesday, began by stating, “For once, AOC is right: ‘They can’t afford to live here anymore,’ she said Monday of working-class Gothamites. The thing is, it’s the policies that she and her progressive allies want more of that have made the city so expensive.”

Ocasio-Cortez made her comments during a town hall meeting this week, arguing that it wasn’t the rich who were feeling the heat of the expense but working-class people.

“The people who are moving out of the city are not by and large the wealthiest people. They’re the working class. They can’t afford to live here anymore,” she said, while making a pitch to tax the city’s rich more.

AOC says she may draft Clarence Thomas impeachment article if no one else does

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., renewed her calls for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to be impeached after a report detailed the justice’s close relationship with a billionaire Republican donor — going so far as to say she will introduce articles of impeachment herself.

In comments made on the “Lever Time” podcast Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez said Thomas’ position on the court is an “emergency” and a “crisis,” and reiterated her full support for removing him. 

When asked if she would introduce the articles of impeachment herself, the New York lawmaker said she would step up if no one else does. 

“Congress is out of session for the next week. And so that does give Democrats some time to strategize, and the way I feel about it is that, I do think articles need to be introduced,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
