VIDEO Marco Rubio votes against Donald Trump’s border emergency, siding with Democrats.



U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio cast a ballot Thursday to square President Donald Trump's affirmation of a crisis at the outskirt, joining Democrats and 11 Republicans to convey a hit to the White House's strategic maneuver. 

In an uncommon censure of Trump by the GOP-controlled Senate, 59 individuals voted in favor of the goals, with 41, all Republicans, casting a ballot against it. The measure previously passed the House a month ago, and will next go to Trump's work area. The president has promised to cast his first veto to slaughter it. The goals neglected to outperform a veto-verification larger part in either chamber. 

"We have a crisis at our outskirt, which is the reason I bolster the president's utilization of relinquishment assets and counter-tranquilize cash to fabricate a divider," Rubio said in an announcement. "Notwithstanding, I can't bolster moving supports that Congress expressly appropriated for development and updates of our army installations. This would make a point of reference a future president may maltreatment to kick off projects like the Green New Deal." 
In the interim, Sen. Rick Scott agreed with Trump in spite of inquiries regarding the dependability of Trump's activities. 
"I bolster the President's endeavors to verify our outskirt. Plainly there is an emergency and it's for some time taking a break to fix it," Scott tweeted prior Thursday. "This is definitely not a decent procedure, yet I'm progressively centered around results." 
Trump a month ago pronounced a national crisis at the southern outskirt and said he intends to redirect $8 billion from the Treasury and the Department of Defense to construct an obstruction and "the divider" between the United States and Mexico. Florida bases could lose up to $177 million if the announcement continues, which Rubio referred to in his restriction. 


In the event that Trump continues, a legitimate test is likely. The White House's spending this week calls for much all the more spending at the southern fringe, past what he asked for in his crisis assertion. 
Rubio reprimanded the statement, concerned the activity was "abusing the Constitution," however he said he would hold judgment "to perceive what statutory or protected power the President depends on to legitimize such a presentation." 
He kept that judgment calm until the vote. Just before making a beeline for the Senate floor he tweeted the most recent refresh on the Venezuela circumstance and his office declared another race security bill. 

VIDEO Judge Jeannine Pirro Takes a Job Consulting for the White House .



Judge Jeannine Pirro might be down from her terminating at Fox News, yet she's unquestionably not out. As per White House sources that could possibly be tenable, Pirro has just begun counseling for the President's lawful group. The sacred driving force, Rudy Giuliani, told a source: 

"Judge Pirro is a gifted legitimate personality. She knows Muslamics and different Islamatites don't have a place in our Christian government. The Rules of Congress in the Seventh Amendment are quite obvious. You can not have an individual serve whose religion is important to the point that it could influence strategy. That is simply good judgment." 

Judge Pirro's assessment that all Muslims are abhorrent and ought to be sent away is a famous one among Trump supporters, particularly retirees. It appears they're worried about the possibility that a Muslamic may finish up settling on a choice they accept could be better made by a Christian. Not in light of religion, as you may already know. But since their God isn't genuine and they all trust they need to execute 100 Americans to get to their paradise, a spot called Sto-Vo-Cor where "warriors" spend forever battling each other for God's adoration. 
Judge Pirro will work intimately with the Trump legitimate group to not just safeguard against the witch chase Mueller Investigation however to verify her own future as the swap for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Starting at now, she's not owning any expressions and she's avoiding the open eye.

Shep Smith is a straightforwardly gay who is additionally in an association with a man who is a transparently gay. Exhaust Carlson has a spouse and children. So how would we trust the person who conflicts with the book of scriptures? Exactly how? 

Lamentably, Fox is going down the way to turning into the following CNN. They sold out once, they'll do it once more. Up to that point, we anticipate the new show. A representative for the system improvement group says the new show will be looser and use love seats as opposed to grappling work areas: 
"Judge Pirro has sublime legs. On the off chance that we can take a portion of the concentration from her blasting, masculine voice by mellowing her female characteristics, we'll do only that. We're totally re-marking her like they attempted with Great Van Susteren, however this time it will work." 


The Trump organization is additionally effectively looking for a seat for Pirro, should she choose to get once more into the robe.  

VIDEO Fox News hires Donna Brazile as political contributor .



NEW YORK (AP) — Former Democratic National Committee boss Donna Brazile, who was terminated by CNN for tipping off the Hillary Clinton crusade about discussion themes in 2016, has joined Fox News Channel as a political observer. 

Brazile said Monday she knows individual dissidents will condemn her for joining Fox, yet that it's essential for individuals not to withdraw to "safe spaces" where they simply converse with individuals who concur with them. 

"There's a crowd of people on Fox News that doesn't hear enough from Democrats," Brazile said in an announcement. 
Her direct at CNN was uncovered as a feature of messages uncovered by Wikileaks. She had reached the Clinton battle about subjects that would be canvassed in a March 2016 town corridor when the challenge was Bernie Sanders. 
Brazile at first denied the allegation, yet admitted to it after the race. She wrote in March 2017 that sending messages to the Clinton crusade was "a mix-up I will everlastingly lament." 
At Fox, Brazile won't have anything to do with battle discussions or town corridors, said a Fox representative with information of the game plan who talked on the state of secrecy on the grounds that the individual was not approved to talk about contract subtleties. That might be an unsettled issue, in any case: the Democratic National Committee as of late said it would not permit Fox News to have any of its up and coming essential discussions. 
She'll presently be getting down to business close by certain individuals at Fox who pounded her in the consequence of the spilled inquiries story. 
On the day that she confessed to tipping Clinton's group, visitors on the Fox discourse program "The Five" lit into her. "She's as degenerate to a great extent," at that point specialist Eric Bolling said. 
Fox has not abandoned facilitating any Democratic essential discussions or town lobbies and needs to counter charges from a touchy New Yorker magazine article that sketched out its connections to President Donald Trump.

"You can be damn certain that despite everything I will be me on Fox News," she said. "I will do what I generally do, and dish it out straight, precisely from my perspective, with the same amount of New Orleans hot sauce as people anticipate." 


The choice didn't really sit well with all Fox News watchers, either, especially in the wake of the obvious suspension of Saturday night have Jeanine Pirro following comments she made scrutinizing the devotion of Muslim U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar. Indeed, even Trump throughout the end of the week tweeted that Fox ought to reestablish Pirro. 
The preservationist Breitbart News tweeted: "Well, seems as though she won't approach any discussion questions."
Brazile made her introduction as a donor Monday evening on Dana Perino's program. 
"We're not proceeding by shouting at one another and sending dreadful tweets," she said.  

VIDEO Alyssa Milano calls for Hollywood to boycott Georgia over 'heartbeat bill' .



Georgia's dubious "heartbeat bill" has not gone unnoticed in Hollywood. 
On Friday, performer and "Task Runway: All Stars" have Alyssa Milano tweeted that the bill, which would confine premature births to about a month and a half after origination, would "strip ladies of their substantial self-rule." 

"There are more than 20 preparations shooting in FA and the state just cast a ballot to strip ladies of their real self-rule. Hollywood! We should quit sustaining GA economy. 

The Georgia Senate passed the questionable bill Friday evening. HB481 would firmly limit when ladies in Georgia can get premature births. Current law permits them as long as 20 weeks development; the supposed "heartbeat" bill would move it back to about a month and a half when a heartbeat is perceptible. 

The bill makes special cases for assault and inbreeding, permitting fetus removal as long as 20 weeks. Be that as it may, it would expect ladies to document "an official police report … charging the offense of assault or inbreeding" to qualify. 
The enactment presently goes to the House, which should endorse changes made in the Senate. 
The ACLU issued an announcement after the bill's section saying it would test the law whenever executed. 
"Presently — Georgia has one of the most exceedingly terrible maternal passing rates in the country. What's more, the latest information demonstrates that dark ladies are just about multiple times bound to bite the dust from labor than white ladies are.

"The proposed enactment – HB 481 – speaks to insensitive negligence for their wellbeing and health and scorn for the Constitutional Rights of Georgia's ladies."

Prior this week, the delegated official of the Georgia Film, Music and Digital Entertainment Office said Georgia is "the main recording area on the planet."

Fox News declined to remark and has as of late said it won't expand on what it has called "booking changes." There has been a late hypothesis that Pirro, a savage supporter of President Donald Trump, could come back to the calendar Saturday, March 30. The president has taken to Twitter to express his help for Pirro's show. 

Amid her March ninth communicate, the previous New York examiner, proposed Minnesota Democrat Ihan Omar, a U.S. delegate, did not regard the law set somewhere around the Constitution of the United States. "Is her adherence to this Islamic teaching demonstrative of her adherence to Sharia law, which is contradictory to the U.S. Constitution?" Pirro inquired. Oman is a Muslim. She has not shown up on Fox News since and has not posted on Twitter since March 10. 

Donald Pulls Out His ‘FISA Trump Card’ – Sends Washington Swamp Scrambling

Democrats thought he would never use it – here it comes. 

Trump promised last Fall that he would declassify all the documents behind the infamous Russian probe.
He hesitated, waiting for Mueller’s report to come out.
Well, guess what? Now that Mueller’s bombshell has exonerated the president, he’s gone some big plans.
Democrats should be worried.
From Fox News:
President Trump… vowed to release the full and unredacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants and related documents used by the FBI to probe his campaign, saying he wants to “get to the bottom” of how the long-running Russia collusion narrative began.
President Trump promised to release the full and unredacted FISA warrants and other documents used by the FBI to launched their Russian “hunt.”
You might remember, these warrants were acquired with the Steele dossier. This dossier was crafted by the Democrats (under Clinton’s orders) and was full of false information and lies.
So, you could say that the FBI and DOJ used lies to acquire a warrant to spy on a Trump campaign member.
Which would be a serious violation of justice and the Fourth Amendment.
We don’t know for sure, though, because we haven’t seen these documents. If Trump declassifies them, we will know for a fact just what the swamp trying to do. And if they truly violated our Constitution to block Trump from becoming President.
Trump has accused FBI officials of committing “treason,” in their efforts to hinder our democracy.
You might remember the infamous text by FBI official Strzok, speaking of an “insurance policy,” should Trump win.
A policy meant to stop him from entering office.
Trump’s evidence might even implicate top members of the former administration. Who might be on the hook?
Lynch? Obama even? Hillary?
We might find out very soon.
Because if we know one thing, it’s that Trump keeps his promises.
SHARE to urge Trump to release the evidence immediately!

Trump’s Pick To Replace Ruth Ginsburg Leaks And The Dems Are Terrified

The good reporters at Axios have another great scoop about Trump and the Supreme Court.

The reporters from Axios have an incredible record of getting stories right, so if they are running this you can take it to the bank.

That said, Ruth Ginsburg is still on the court, but if Trump wins the next election all bets are off. Expect the left to fight this choice harder than they did Kavanaugh.

From Axios:

As he was deliberating last year over replacing Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, President Trump told confidants he had big plans for Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

“I’m saving her for Ginsburg,” Trump said of Barrett, according to three sources familiar with the president’s private comments. Trump used that exact line with a number of people, including in a private conversation with an adviser two days before announcing Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination.
Barrett is a favorite among conservative activists, many of whom wanted her to take Kennedy’s spot.
She’s young and proudly embraces her Catholic faith. Her past academic writings suggest an openness to overturning Roe v. Wade.

Her nomination would throw gas on the culture-war fires, which Trump relishes. But Trump chose to wait.

Some Trump advisers worried Barrett’s staunch opposition to abortion rights would lose the votes of Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). But there wasn’t consensus; some advisers argued they would ultimately “do the right thing” and vote for Barrett.

Trump came to doubt that “the women” (his shorthand for Collins and Murkowski) would support Barrett, according to sources who discussed the situation with Trump at the time.

Some of Trump’s aides also felt confident about picking up more Senate seats in the 2018 midterms (which they did), meaning a more conservative pick might stand a better chance later.

Yes, but: There’s no guarantee Trump will get another Supreme Court pick. It’s very unlikely Ginsburg will retire while he’s in office. And though she’s 86 and has had 3 bouts with cancer, she’s on the bench now and appears healthy.

Barrett isn’t a lock even if Trump does get to make another appointment, the people familiar with his thinking said.

Barrett has the inside track “in a very specific sense,” said a source who’s discussed Barrett with Trump. “She is the most known quantity right now amongst the women on the list. … And she also has the inside track in the sense that she was kind of battle-tested for having gone through a confirmation already.”

Trump Overrules Dianne Feinstein, Ends Her Judicial Reign Of Terror

President Trump is following through on his pledge to remake the federal judiciary. He has been wildly successful while facing stiff resistance from the Democrats.

They have used many parliamentary tricks to delay and even block some of Trump’s judges, including the blue slip process.

That process allows home state Senators to block judges and has given Dianne Feinstein outsized influence over the picks. But that is all over now.

From Fox News: The Senate is poised this week to consider two more conservative nominees selected by President Trump to sit on the left-leaning 9th Circuit Court of Appeals — and the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee isn’t happy about it.
That’s because the nominees, Ken Lee and Dan Collins, were picked without any input from either Dianne Feinstein or Kamala Harris, California’s two Democrat senators. Traditionally, the White House seeks to obtain a so-called “blue slip,” or approval, from a judicial nominee’s two home-state senators before pressing on with their nominations.
But the Trump administration, which has successfully nominated several conservative judges to the 9th Circuit already, has pointedly disregarded that process as it continues its push to transform the appellate court that the president repeatedly has derided as hopelessly biased and “disgraceful.”

“I take it that without notice or discussion, the blue slip is essentially dead,” Feinstein, the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in televised remarks on Thursday. “This change in practice not only harms the Senate, it harms the federal judiciary. And I wish we could’ve had an opportunity to discuss it. I really believe it’s a mistake.”Feinstein went on: “Before President Trump took office, the blue slip had been a Senate practice for nearly one century. And during the past 100 years, before this presidency, the Senate confirmed only five judges with only one blue slip, and the last one was in 1989 – and in 100 years the Senate had never confirmed a judge without two blue slips.”

But “since President Trump took office,” Feinstein charged, “Republicans have held hearings for 12 circuit court nominees and voted to confirm seven – seven – over the objection of home-state Democrats.”

Among those nominees was Seattle attorney Eric Miller, who was confirmed to the 9th Circuit in February by a vote of 53-46. Progressives fiercely attacked Miller as a corporate lawyer and Federalist Society member whose career supposedly had been hostile to Native American rights.
Feinstein continued: “There is no justification for disregarding Democratic blue slips. Democratic senators have made and continue to make good faith efforts to find consensus picks for the circuit courts.

“As Senator Harris and I have made clear, we’ve been willing to work from the start with this president to choose consensus, mainstream nominees to the 9th Circuit,” Feinstein added. “One of the things I’ve learned is: what goes around, comes around. I had hoped that we would be able to work in a very cooperative way.”

In January, Feinstein and Harris lashed out at the White House with a similar statement: “We are deeply disappointed that the White House has chosen to re-nominate Daniel Collins and Kenneth Lee to the 9th Circuit. We made clear our opposition to these individuals and told the White House we wanted to work together to come to consensus on a new package of nominees.”

Sarah Palin Drops Hammer On John McCain And Family In Public Rebuke

Sarah Palin is finally breaking her silence on some of the things she endured from John McCain and his family.
Sarah, ever loyal, kept her mouth shut for the most part but has had enough and is speaking out. Good for her.
What the media, Democrats, and even the GOP did to her was a disgrace. From The Daily Mail:
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has described how not being invited to her running mate’s funeral was a ‘gut punch’.
Palin said she was ‘disinvited’ to John McCain’s funeral, despite running on his presidential campaign ticket in 2008.
Describing how she felt about not attending the service last year, the former Alaskan governor said: ‘They [the McCain family] didn’t have to embarrass me and others, it wasn’t just me it was other people from our campaign back in 2008… it’s kind of a gut punch.’
Speaking live to presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid from her home in Wasilla, Alaska, she said: ‘It’s been bizarre. When I was tapped to run as the first woman VP candidate on the Republican ticket, I had nearly 90 per cent approval rating as the governor of the largest state.
‘It made sense to me and my supporters why John McCain did tap me. But, yeah, once getting out there on that national stage and realizing that there are so many snakes in politics, they are so many snakes in the Republican party who were running the show and allowing me to get clobbered.
‘They were looking for someone to blame for their really crappy type of campaign that they ran. I was a scapegoat.
‘That’s in the past though…sometimes you win, sometimes you learn and I certainly learned through that.’ 
Asked why she didn’t attend McCain’s funeral last September, Palin revealed: ‘I wasn’t invited. [I would have gone] because I am a respectful person…I was kind of surprised to be publicly disinvited to the funeral.
‘They didn’t have to embarrass me and others, it wasn’t just me it was other people from our campaign back in 2008… it’s kind of a gut punch.’
Palin also said Trump stands a strong chance of being re-elected because no other candidate ‘comes close’.
She said: ‘Consider what Trump has been able to accomplish, despite it being a three against one game going on here.
‘You have the Democrats, the media, which is complicit with the Democratic shenanigans and then you have obstructionists in his own party, and despite that the President has enough support of the people, the average forgotten man and woman of America. He has had, relatively speaking, a reasonably wonderful two years.’

Ilhan Omar Trashes USA And Trump In Ungrateful Display Of Arrogance

Ilhan Omar just put her foot in her mouth again in what all will consider an ungrateful display for a recent immigrant who has done so well in America.

Is there any place on earth Ilhan’s miracle story – from refugee to member of Congress – is possible? Of course not.

It is absurd to criticize the one place that gave you everything, just stunning. From BPR:

Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar — a Muslim refugee from impoverished, war-torn Somalia — trashed the United States under the Trump presidency, saying living here is a daily nightmare.
“It’s an everyday assault,” Omar told Vogue Arabia. “Every day, a part of your identity is threatened, demonized, and vilified.”

Keep in mind that in Saudi Arabia and in many Muslim countries, Omar wouldn’t be allowed to leave the house without a male chaperone, drive, work, or vote.And she certainly wouldn’t be a member of the federal government. Also, wife-beating is acceptable — and even encouraged.

Omar and her family moved to the United States in 1995 from Somalia as refugees. Did you know that a Christian church sponsored the sharia advocate — all so that she could come to the United States and b*tch about it incessantly?

Omar has been criticized by other immigrants as a vile ingrate who attacks the very country that gave her refuge, freedom, and an amazing new life.

Contrast that to her homeland of Somalia, where women are often raped and then thrown in jail for reporting the rape.

From Vogue:
“It’s challenging,” she says of living in President Trump’s America, where her status and heritage is constantly criticized. “It’s an everyday assault. Every day, a part of your identity is threatened, demonized, and vilified. Trump is tapping into an ugly part of our society and freeing its ugliness. 
It’s been a challenge to try to figure out how to continue the inclusion; how to show up every day and make sure that people who identify with all the marginalized identities I carry, feel represented. It’s transitioning from the idea of constantly resisting to insisting in upholding the values we share – that this is a society that was built on the idea that you could start anew. And what that celebrates is immigrant heritage.”

 Wearing her hijab allows her to be a “walking billboard” not only for her faith but also for representing something different from the norm. “To me, the hijab means power, liberation, beauty, and resistance,” she says. She has a son, Adnan, and two daughters with husband Ahmed Hirsi. Whether her girls, Ilwad and Isra, want to wear the hijab, is up to them, she says. 

“I grew up in a religious society and my father and grandfather believed that their role was to teach right from wrong. For me, that is how I raise my kids. I work to remove obstacles so they can live at their best and happiest selves,” she says. “If that translates to adapting the hijab, that’s fine. If they don’t, that’s also fine. 

They have freedom of choice. Society tends to place lots of limitations, depending on what gender you are. I want my kids to be free.” She wants to share this approach with all women, advising them to be themselves. “Walk in your own path. We are as much worthy of joy, power, and pleasure as the next human. We are deserving and we don’t need permission or an invitation to exist and to step into our power.”

Communist Queen Ocasio-Cortez Fights Back After Being Exposed As Fraud

Minutes after starting her acceptance speech on election night, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the newly elected congresswoman from Queens, was surprised to hear groans.
“Whoa — room turned fast,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez joked.
She, along with everyone in the room, had noticed a news update that had flashed across one of the giant screens above the crowd: Democrats had narrowly lost the Senate race in Texas. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez took quick stock of the mood of the crowd and resumed speaking.
“What we need to do as well, is realize that these short-term losses do not mean we have lost in the long run,” she said.
It was a theme Ms. Ocasio-Cortez peppered into her nearly 15-minute speech at her victory party in Queens, vowing to change, not just the Democratic Party, but politics in Washington, rather than allowing the status quo to change her.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, 29, became the youngest woman elected to the United States House of Representatives, capping a meteoric rise for someone who began the year as a bartender at a Union Square restaurant.
After upsetting Representative Joseph Crowley in the June primary in the 14th Congressional District, which includes parts of Queens and the Bronx, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez became an instant star of the Democratic Party, whisking across the nation to help progressive, like-minded, candidates; Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist, became a boogeyman for conservatives, who pounced on any perceived flaw or possible misstatement.
But after her victory, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez must now contend with the challenge of using her voice and star power to bring change to the Democratic Party, and to help shape policy in a way that most first-term House members aren’t asked to do.
“There’s so many people that know that we’re going into the lion’s den, even within the party,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview this week.
She said that voters have often approached her to talk about some of these challenges. “We know how much pressure you’re going to be under even from within your own party,” she said, echoing comments from constituents. “We know you’re going to be under pressure to fall in line. Just please don’t do it.”
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said the fight to change the Democratic Party will be tougher than the battle against President Trump and the Republicans.
When asked why, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez declined to be more specific, perhaps understanding the need for pragmatism when trying to forge alliances with Democrats. She spoke broadly about “systemic issues that are impacting our democracy overall,” like money in politics, and disparities between the rich and poor.
But Ms. Ocasio-Cortez did say that she may continue to support progressive challengers to Democratic incumbents, a practice that irked some national Democratic leaders. “It’s all kind of a case-by-base basis,” she said.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez may be girding for a fight, but some colleagues are expecting an amicable relationship.
Representative Carolyn Maloney of Manhattan, who defeated a young insurgent challenger in the primary, said she planned to host a luncheon with Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, and two newly elected state senators, Jessica Ramos and Julia Salazar, “who I think are going to be fabulous,” Maloney said. “We’ll be working together.”
Representative Adriano Espaillat of Upper Manhattan, a formerly undocumented resident who has prioritized immigration reform, agreed with Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s assessment of intraparty fighting.
“Even some of your friends, who you consider somewhat liberal, may have a tough time with some of these immigration issues,” he said. “For me, it’s tough to accept that the entire party doesn’t rally behind Dreamers or behind these families that were being separated.
“So it takes me further to the left when I see that,” he added.
Supporters at Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s election night party said they were drawn to her campaign because she was outspoken. They hoped this attitude would continue in office.
“Even if Democrats win, Alexandria is in the minority,” because she is more progressive than her colleagues, said Hawk Newsome, founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York. “She is there to change the way business is done.”
Mr. Newsome said he hoped Ms. Ocasio-Cortez would criticize fellow House Democrats, like Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader — and whom Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has not committed to supporting — and New York’s senior senator, Chuck Schumer, who leads Democrats in the Senate.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said that on Monday she spoke with Ms. Pelosi, who did not directly ask for support in her campaign to be re-elected speaker of the House.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said she also has recently met or traded phone calls with several members of the New York delegation. All have been welcoming, and full of advice on how to prepare for Washington.
“It really is like high school orientation,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said. “It’s like you pick your committees the way you pick your courses. And people ask, like, little logistical things like, ‘where you going to live?’”
No decision there yet, she said. “Honestly, I’ve been so focused on today that I’m not trying to count my chickens before they’re hatched.”
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said the transition period will be “very unusual, because I can’t really take a salary. I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress. So, how do I get an apartment? Those little things are very real.” She said she saved money before leaving her job at the restaurant, and planned accordingly with her partner. “We’re kind of just dealing with the logistics of it day by day, but I’ve really been just kind of squirreling away and then hoping that gets me to January.”
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said she will skip a popular postelection meeting, which begins Friday, that draws many New York Democratic politicians to Puerto Rico because it conflicts with an orientation for new congressional members. And, as she put it, “I need a minute.”
Campaign aides are focused on closely managing Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s time, in response to the enormous amounts of media obligations she’s had the past few months.
She’s also had a regular presence on social media, where she has more than a million followers. That’s likely to continue, along with all her appearances in Queens and in the Bronx. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said it’s vital to meet people in person, for handshakes, selfies and conversations.
“It’s not just about a photo-op,” she said. “People tell you things. And they tell you what they believe. And they tell you what they want for themselves, for you, they tell you their stories.”
