Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.

Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.

Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.

Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.

    Obstruction of Congress is a Felony, that is why all the rules are laid out for who gets to speak at what time. Anything outside what is explicitly allowed, believe it or not, straight to jail.

    Now if they can get the Capitol Police on their side for a little while that would by them time until the National Guard shows up, but then what?

        sorry for the duplicate comment, the page crashed while I was submitting it so I redid it lol

        Legal only matters based on enforcement, and Republicans are in charge of enforcement, so it’s a real conundrum. Feel free to try if you want, though.
