‘Deal with the devil’: AOC rails on House floor over Trump’s megabill | CNN Politics Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells House members that the provisions in the proposed budget bill ‘jack up’ taxes on those making less than $50,000.

@aoc.bsky.social is legend in her own time. Watching on with admiration from Canada, and glad that good people are pointing out thr thuggery of the Trump administration in this deeply concerning bill. My heart is with the working people in the USA.
