In a video released on social media Wednesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fired at Elon Musk after she claimed her Twitter notifications were not working. 



In an Instagram story posted on Wednesday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that her Twitter notifications were no longer working after she criticized Elon Musk.

The criticism was over Musk's plan to charge users $8 a month to verify their accounts. Musk posted a tweet yesterday with a photo of a sweatshirt sold on the New York Democrats' website for 58 dollars.

AOC fired back, saying that her workers are in a union and make a living wage, and proceeds go to, quote, "community investments" like tutoring kids. Ocasio-Cortez delighted in the fact that Musk lashed out at her, saying, quote, "We have a billionaire." That's the American dream right there.

In her released video, AOC said:

I was at a community event in the Bronx and Co-op City, and when I got home, I saw a text from my team saying, "Hey, let me know if you need any help with this Elon stuff," and I was like, "What?" So I pulled my Twitter app, and it's like gone, like when you pull up your mentions and stuff like that, it's just like a blank screen, totally gone.

And I was like, "Hmm, that's weird." So it turns out we got under a certain little billionaire's skin. Of course, I made fun of his silly little plan to charge people for verification and priority placement.

You pay eight dollars for people to see your tweet tomorrow and get silly. So anyway, it made him mad, so then he decides to like tweet a screenshot of our campaign store because our sweatshirts are like 50 to 58 dollars, as some kind of gotcha that, like other people, they pay money for goods with an emphasis on real goods in the world.

But here's the thing: unlike Elon Musk, all the workers with our campaign are unionized, we pay full health care, we have other benefits like child care stipends, and proceeds go to community organizations. Through investments like tutoring kids in underserved communities, especially after COVID, we do things for society with the resources that are entrusted to us.

Billionaires pocket the change and take that extra money to Wall Street. So whenever you have one person that has a lot of socially influential wealth, usually off of the backs of skimming off of and underpaying working people or exploiting them or the planet in some way, like when they've amassed that much, it does not help society; in fact, it hurts society.

So this is just your annual, daily, minute reminder that indeed every billionaire is a policy failure in a country that does not guarantee health care and that has enormous amounts of poverty. Also, there's something that is so satisfying about just being here in the Bronx in Parkchester with my dog, and we have a billionaire pressing like per usual, our American Dream right there.

Ron DeSantis spoke about Dr. Fauci. The Press Conference was held at the University of South Florida to announce investments in cybersecurity workforce education. During the same news conference, he took a shot at Dr. Anthony Fauci, Biden's chief medical advisor, over his actions during the Coronavirus pandemic. DeSantis has fundraised off of attacking Fauci and his campaign sells anti-Fauci merchandise. "I agree if you think about what they've done, Fauci is in the witness protection program now," said DeSantis, when asked if there were any parts of Biden's State of the Union address that he agreed on. "If you listen to them, they have never supported all these policies that were so destructive." During this press conference he was also talking about

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author
