AOC: We just hit $4 million!

[bigtree]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC 5m
We just hit $4 million!

Reps. Sylvia Garcia, Sheila Jackson Lee & Al Green of Houston are doing incredible work w/ local relief organizations to get emergency relief to Texans.

Today we went to food distributions, water delivery sites, and home tours of impacted Texans.

1. Is Cruz anywhere around there?

[COL Mustard]

4. Flyin' Ted?

Qruz? That guy? Probably not.

[demigoddess]

2. How much money did Ted Cruz raise???

[AZ8theist]

21. Hold on! I have the total right here....

Let's see.....
Add this.....carry the one.....
Move to this column...

The total is?

YUP...ZERO.

[ChubbyStar]

3. Getting shit done and keeping it real

You show em AOC.

[ananda]

5. I heart all of them.

[LaMouffette]

6. What, no Goya beans? Somewhere Ivanka is dying on the inside a little bit at the lost opportunity

to do a little marketing side hustle and make a tidy profit off the suffering of others.

25. My ex-bil was in SE Asia and walking through the market.

The foot traffic stopped, so he did the right thing - put his hand on his wallet and passport in case it was a pickpocketing stall. It seemed legit, so he stepped around the edge of the crowd to see what was going on.

In the road was a kid of about 8 or 9, obviously dead. Another boy, perhaps a brother was sitting on his back with his hand out. Can't miss a good opportunity. "My brother's dead, give me some money."

Yeah. Ivanka and the Vampires? Like that.

[LaMouffette]

30. That is so sad! In the boy's situation, his opportunism was likely triggered by his life-or-death

survival instincts.

With Ivanka, not so much. Her Goya beans promotion just meant another million dollars or so on top of the tens of millions of dollars she had already made (most likely criminally) that year.

7. AOC is a wonder!

[Biophilic]

8. All this fire and determination does make me proud to call myself her democratic sister.

She is learning so quickly and is so effective at getting things done. AOC it is way fun to watch you grow into your self. Even more fun to watch you learn to lead. You have what it takes. Awesome woman, you go girl.

[ailsagirl]

22. Ditto to everything you said!

[malaise]

9. Action not a bag of

Tweets. Love AOC - Bravo Dems!

[leftieNanner]

10. I just popped over to Act Blue

And gave them a few bucks.

It was originally for 5 different Texas charities and now that they have gone over $4 million !!!!! there are 9 different charities who will receive the money. This is awesome.

Suck it Ted!

[NBachers]

11. This isn't just one of those republican "Stop off, get photographed doing something, & leave" scams.

Remember this one, which is typical of the republican breed?

Paul Ryan Busted For Staged Photo-Op At Soup Kitchen Where He Pretended To Wash Dishes

https://www.businessinsider.com/paul-ryan-wash-dishes-2012-10

They're all lying slimeballs, every single one of them.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

26. You do not get to besmirch the fine Ryan name, sir!!! He totally

volunteered for a non-staged, non-photo op. After winning 3 triathlons that morning. Shame on you!

[Grins]

32. As soon as I saw Cruz at the airport coming back from Cancun....

I thought he’d soon have some staged (as in, set-up by his frantic and scared staffers) photo-op where he’d be seen handing out food/water. To calm the masses because he got caught for what he DIDN’T do; for being WHO HE IS!

I saw it Friday.

Loading a pack of water bottles into the back of someone’s car.

Once that photo was taken, I’ll bet he was gone in less than an hour. To his home. Whew! Saving Texans for Jesus is hard work!

Then I remembered Ryan and that damn kitchen...

[Ligyron]

12. The GOP supporting citizens need to be made aware of this.

Without making a big deal about it, the message is: Democrats help people, all people, not just those they agree with politically.

Unlike the GOP Congress critters that those citizens vote into office year after year, which help only large corporations and the ultra rich at their expense.

[Tommymac]

13. And I know the $$ will go to those who really need it.

Unlike $$ raised by ''Those People'.

AOC rocks.

[superpatriotman]

14. Give four thousand families $1000 each

That would be good for everyone.

[PurgedVoter]

15. AOC is a national treasure!

She gives me hope for the future of mankind.

[demmiblue]

16. These women are wonderful (as well as the donators and volunteers). n/t

[RicROC]

17. looks like Yankees care about Texans more than...

Texans care about anyone else, including themselves..

[Thekaspervote]

18. AOC is a force to be reckoned with!!

I was initially utterly unconvinced...I am now an ardent fan

She is the face of good and what the Democratic Party should be working towards

23. Compassionate Party.

[Upthevibe]

24. So heartwarming!

I absolutely adore this young lady! I love the bottom picture you posted of AOC chatting with the little girl. It's so wonderful that this child can look at someone who she can see as a role model.

[calimary]

27. Democrats care about helping others in need.

Republicans don’t want to help you.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. A New York Representative doing more for Texans than a Texas Senator? Oh my!

31. This. Democrats need to do more of this.

I often talk about messaging, & messaging isn't just words, it's deeds too. Showing up, doing good, DEMONSTRATING that we care through our actions. THAT delivers a message loud & clear in a way that mere words can't.
