    Glad she is representing her NY constituents well by spending time and money in TX and bragging about it.

      She said the money was raised, so maybe it's not money intended for NY.

      I'm not following the deets on Texas . . . I don't know whether the assistance Texans are getting from the feds is adequate. If the funds from AOC are not misappropriated, I've got to give her credit for at least doing something, because those people must be double-dutch dying from misery there. But yes, her efforts should not be at the expense of her own constituents.

      And if she can twist the knife in Ted, that's like the cherry on the sundae, yes?

        Seriously, AOC should think about getting into some kind of crisis intervention work. That seems to be where her heart lies.

          AOC has a huge social media following and she uses social media to marshal volunteers and donations to help fellow Americans in need. Look at her coordination with Rep. Garcia (@LaCongresista) of Eastern Houston, Texas. I think there is an understanding between these two that, had the situation be reversed, Rep. Garcia would similarly help AOC’s district.

            Yeah, I’m as critical of her as the next guy but let’s not turn it into AOC-DS. She has a big following and is putting it to good purpose. Good for her.

              What a terrific public servant.

              And a jerk.

                      Ok so she raised $4,000,000. She could do that every. single. day. for the next 445 years and still wouldn't raise the amount to cover what she wants the government to pay to "forgive" $50K in student federal loan debt.

                      Yes I know this borders on AOC-DS, but my point is...let's put things in perspective regarding her fiscal track record and her priorities.

                        @89th the perspective is that just because she cannot yet solve the student loan problem does not mean she cannot do something else to help a group of freezing Texans.

                          The thing about AOC is that yes, she has no fiscal responsibility at all, and I wouldn't want her anywhere near the levers of power, and she's really not that bright, but it's just conceivably possible that her heart's in the right place.

                          I don't know what place Ted Cruz' heart is in. Presumably he has to hide it somewhere safe so that nobody can drive a stake through it.

                          I was only joking
