.@RepAOC @AOC on 2028: "In this op-ed that Jeff Bezos paid for in The Washington Post...it was the elite saying if you want this job, you just stepped out of line...What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, Senate, House seats, elected officials come and go, but single payer healthcare is forever. A living wage is forever. Worker's rights are forever. Women's rights..."
She also says, "I don't want to make decisions from a place of what's in it for me. I want to make decisions from a place of how are we going to change the country."

.@RepAOC @AOC on Joe Crowley: "I unseated a really popular guy...popular in Washington...so I got rid of their very good friend...there's orientation...you go through a little bit of orientation...there was a caucus meeting and my predecessor was the chairman of the Democratic caucus, so he has to host the meeting...I'm there in the caucus meeting, awkward...I'm sitting there...he's up there and he's speaking...a congressman...he leans over to me and goes: 'Man, it’s such a shame that girl beat him.' And I looked back at him and I said: 'you mean me?'"

Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Speaker Johnson on the late Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) 
Quote
Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson
Bill Posey was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and public servant who dedicated his career to giving back to his Florida community — from the Rockledge City Council and the Florida State House and Senate to the U.S. House of Representatives. As representative for Florida’s 8th Congressional District, he was a strong advocate for the Space Coast region and made a lasting impact as a member of the Financial Services and Science, Space, and Technology Committees. 
Bill was a genuinely good man and a faithful friend, and we are blessed to have served alongside him. Kelly and I join in mourning this great loss, and our prayers are with his wife and high school sweetheart Katie, his family, and loved ones during this difficult time.
