Actor Michael Rapaport calls out AOC over Met Gala dress AOC has repeatedly called for increased taxes on the wealthiest Americans ....... Tickets for the famed event can fetch at least $30,000 and it attracts some of the most influential players in fashion, movies and culture. Rapaport seemed to take particular offense at a politician—who he said should be a "public servant"—hobnobbing with the glitterati. ......... She has repeatedly called for increased taxes on the wealthiest Americans to pay for progressive policy initiatives, such as climate-friendly infrastructure and expanded access to free health care.

Last January I was sworn in for my first term in Congress.

So, what have we accomplished since then?

This continues to be one of the most bizarre campaigns / uses of energy in Washington.

Once again, Senate should vote NO on confirming Rahm Emanuel. https://t.co/iXCpJqvO54

And before haters get wild flying off the handle, New York elected officials are routinely invited to and attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing and supporting the city’s cultural institutions for the public. I was one of several in attendance in this evening.🤗

New from @AOC on pathway to citizenship for TPS holders:

"Congress has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish pathways to citizenship and finally provide these individuals — along with Dreamers, farm workers, and essential workers — the stability they deserve." pic.twitter.com/d871MXNHVN

In Washington, I usually know my questions of power are getting somewhere when the powerful stop referring to me as “Congresswoman” and start referring to me as “young lady” instead 😉

Imagine if every time someone referred to someone as “young lady” they were ask responded to by being addressed with their age and gender? They’d be pretty upset if one responded with “the old man,” right? Why this kind of weird, patronizing behavior is so accepted is beyond me!

My and @RepAOC's plan for the Civilian Climate Corps wouldn't be an "echo" of the New Deal-era CCC, it would be an amplification.https://t.co/6RZ3T9ehdO

On the @MehdiHasanShow, we found a clip of @Sen_JoeManchin back in January calling for up to **$4 trillion** in new infrastructure spending.

So what changed Senator? What changed?

Ah yes, because nothing says “there’s definitely no need to collectively organize for better working conditions here” than “mandatory anti-union meetings to keep your job”#PassThePROAct https://t.co/XMo6anprR2

This week alone I worked w/ FEMA, Gov & @POTUS to make this one of the fastest FEMA responses in history, organized to connect 173k of my constituents to disaster grants, toured small businesses to assess damage, AND fought for LGBT+ justice.

Don’t be mad if you can’t keep up 🥰 https://t.co/STH2hR5YvR

I know Republicans’ idea of “disaster relief” is flying to Cancun while the power’s still out, but unlike that approach I actually give a damn 🤗
