Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.

Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.

Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.

Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.

    Nancy Pelosi dedicated the month before Trump was inaugurated to ensuring AOC, a spoiler leftist in a sea of her crony neoliberals, didn’t get an oversight committee seat.

    Neoliberals Democrats hate actual leftwing politicians far more than they hate their fascist opposition party. Makes sense, Fascists and neoliberals have the same bosses and take the same bribe checks.

        There are no good billionaires. But pretending the techbros aren’t destroying society at a much faster rate than the old leaches who just sucked the country dry slowly, is just closing your eyes to reality.

          I did the capital lowercase thing but only for the word good, so I can see how it is hard to miss. It was supposed to indicate sarcasm, but I probably should have extended the formatting to the word “billionaires” too
