US Congresswoman, NY-14. In a modern, moral, and wealthy society, no American should be too poor to live. People-Funded, takes no lobbyistπ°. Personal account.
The cynics will tell you that one vote wonβt change anything.
But what they donβt tell you is that nothing can change without a vote.
The truth is, the world doesnβt belong to the cynics. Itβs up to us.
New York: Itβs time to vote.π³οΈ
Tuesday, June 25th.
Spread the word.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.
Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.
Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.
Can NY forgive @elmo for this tweet?
"We all make mistakes," said Congresswoman @AOC, adding "I think maybe Rocco wrote the tweet anyways."
The @nyknicks lost narrowly to the @spurs last night, but still lead the series 2-1.
The NBA Finals continue tomorrow night.
NEW: We brought @AOC to deep red Georgia to talk data centers.
We found a data center rebellion, with people willing to radically shift their politics.
One conservative voter said: "If there's a chance that anything can be done, I feel like she's gonna be the one to do it."
Worth noting that while AOC is the highest fundraiser, she has never taken dollar of lobbyist or corporate PAC money.
Our average donation is just $16 this cycle.
Something to keep an eye on: @AOC has quietly become far and away the best fundraiser in the House.
She's always been strong β 7th in 2024, 10th in 2022, 5th in 2020 β but this year she's lapping everyone but the Speaker and could do than too by the end of the cycle.
