Summary
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 35-year-old veteran lawmaker, spoke to NPR about her party’s path forward.
She predicts Republicans will face backlash over Medicaid cuts and federal worker firings.
Despite some Democrats suggesting a new immigration approach post-election, she maintains support for a path to citizenship and recently held a know-your-rights seminar that drew threats of investigation from Trump’s border czar Tom Homan.
AOC told NPR “everything feels increasingly like a scam” for ordinary Americans while government serves the wealthy well.
Unlike Trump, she opposes drastically cutting government agencies but questions programs like Medicare Advantage.
Remember: If it feels like a scam, it is.
Ever try to buy car insurance?
All insurance is a scam.
Game of Thrones should have taught you that.
I just bought car insurance. Switched from USAA to Progressive and saved a shitload. USAA hasn’t been a good deal for a while now.
THAT SAID - Progressive is always trying to get me to turn on “accident detection” on my phone. Fuck that, I know exactly what they do with that data, it’s not happening.
I have to deal with progressive all the time. They are total shit. A step above the general.
They’re all shit. I used to manage a body shop.
Really? USAA is still the best even when I shop around and they actually gave me money back last year.
I’ve had USAA for over a decade. I never looked at other quotes because I knew USAA had the best coverage. Until my premium kept increasing despite a flawless history. I searched around, progressive had the best quote. I now have better coverage than before (I matched everything first, then increased as I saw fit) and pay significantly less.
Interesting. I’ll take another look this year. USAA actually subcontracts progressive for motorcycle insurance so I also have progressive.
That was another reason I went with progressive, my motorcycle is covered under them.
