Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)

When they talk about Republicans and their success online, they have been successful because they have also been very clear, especially digitally, about what they believe. That women are inferior. And they do not deserve equal rights. That they believe that LGBTQ Americans are subhuman. That they believe and are circulating disgusting racial,

and white supremacist messaging that they are able to get away with digitally and online. And they are able to radicalize and target and exploit a generation of young boys in particular

away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker or a different gender than them.

Ja siksi he ovat online-resonantteja, koska he sopivat kaikkein vähimmäisimpiin ja huonommin osiin ihmisen luonnosta, jotta meidät jätetään yhdessä. Ja miksi meidät jätetään yhdessä? Jotta samat ihmiset, jotka omistavat niitä platformeja, ihmiset kuten Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg,

that these people can continue to get away with highway robbery in tax cuts and in order to fleece all of our pockets, cut our healthcare, keep our wages low so that we remain fighting amongst ourselves while they make themselves richer. And so in order for us to fight back against that, we must be clear about what we believe, have strong beliefs,

and also be completely unwilling to bow to that kind of division and stand in solidarity with one another, especially when it is someone whose culture is different from ours or whose background we may not entirely understand, but that we honor, love and see as our fellow Americans.

I mean, listen. I think people can talk a good game.

Mutta kun he itse asiassa tukevat poliisin, joka auttaa ihmisiä, minä en ole erittäin kiinnostunut. Mutta jos hän itse asiassa haluaa tukea lainsäädäntöä ja kasvavaa terveydenhuoltoa, olen työskennellyt paljon republikaanista myös.

on healthcare. I have a bill that I've introduced with Congresswoman Malia Takis, a Republican from New York, on expanding maternal health and reauthorizing the Healthy Start program to help newborns and new moms be able to support their kids. And so in terms of bipartisan legislation on healthcare, I'm more than open to doing that, but it's not just about talking the talk. We've got to walk the walk.

Petulin children crap. That's not how adults behave. That's not how government works. Watch as she describes... Do you all remember Schoolhouse Rock? Yeah, play this clip. Particularly as a TSA employee, I represent LaGuardia Airport. And so I know very, very well all the hard work that you all do and put in. And you all deserve a dignified workplace. You deserve a safe workplace. And you deserve the paycheck that you are working for.

What I believe the best thing that we can do is to reopen the government right now and to ensure and to also call on our representatives and put pressure on individuals like the Speaker of the House to actually pick up the phone. The problem here is not even that there's a disagreement. It's that the Speaker of the House and the Trump administration refuses to even have a negotiation.

They refuse to even pick up the phone and talk about this. And so I do not want us to start to agree with what Mike Johnson is saying and to have them preview for us and normalize the idea that everyone is just going to miss a paycheck. That a million federal workers are just going to go without that and to just warn that in advance and to have us accept that.

This is not acceptable. This is not normal. And what is normal is for us to negotiate when one party wants the votes of another party. You negotiate, you come to a compromise and you pass a bill. That is schoolhouse rock.

Ja se on se, miten asiat pitäisi olla. Kiitän teidät siitä, ja haluan varmistaa, että me tietenkin annamme järjestelmää kansalaisille työtä, mutta emme halua heitä olemaan tarpeita ensimmäisenä. AOC puhuu siitä, miten MAGA-republikanit, VP JD Vance ja muut jatkuvat rauhoittamaan tämän asian, huolimatta huolimatta huolimatta huolimatta huolimatta huolimatta huolimatta huolimatta huolimatta.

Olemme jo tietäneet, ja tämä on yleinen syy, jota republikaatit ovat kertoneet, että tämä loppu on demokraattisista yrittäjistä, jotka yrittävät antaa terveydenhuoltoa ilmaisille.

We already know that it is federal law and federal statute that undocumented people cannot be covered by the ACA, they cannot be covered by Medicaid, they cannot be covered by Medicare. Period. That is the law of the land. There are plenty of federal laws on the books. Now the Vice President

has been trafficking this other misconception, saying that the emergency Medicaid program is providing healthcare to undocumented people. That too is a complete, I don't even know, whole cloth storytelling, we should say. The truth of the matter is,

that we have a federal law, as it should be, that any person who walks into a hospital in desperate need of medical attention receives that medical attention regardless of their insurance status and regardless of who they are. And I don't know about you, but me as a human being, I don't want to live in a world where if a human being is struck by a car,

Problem is that this administration, the Trump administration, folks like Russ Vogt, they think that destroying our healthcare, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the costs of our groceries, they think all of this is about hurting Democrats.

What they are doing is hurting Americans, and they are hurting this country. And if Mike Johnson wants to say that this shutdown is going to last a long time, it is because he is choosing to punish the American people, and we cannot stand for it, and we cannot allow it. And we also cannot enable it by acquiescing and enabling the behavior of bullies. So it ends today.
