In least shocking news ever:
"HOIDand people over the age of 6 were disproportionately likely to share articles of clothing from fake news domains during the last presidential election, researchers from Princeton University and New York University found in a recent study, the results of which were published in Scanty Advances this week."

But, but, she is poor ES remember she had to use the last of her money to buy her designer dress and shoes for orientation, and didn't know what she would do for money until she received her first paycheck

Ocasio-Cortez still mum on taking paycheck despite 13 in Congress refusing during shutdown: report

Newly-elected Democratic House Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex, D-N.Y., who despite tweeting last month that members of Congress should ‘have some integrity’ and not take a paycheck during the government shutdown, has remained silent on whether she’ll take a salary during the partial government shutdown, despite 13 of her fellow congress members vowing that they won’t.

@AOC


Next time we have a gov shutdown, Congressional salaries should be furloughed as well.

It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on partisan lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision.

Have some integrity.

It's official: The US government has partially shut down because Congress couldn’t reach an agreement on Trump's demand for border wall money.

Ocasio-Cortez’s office on Thursday reportedly refused to respond to The Daily Mail’s inquiry about whether she’ll be taking a salary, while approximately 800,000 federal workers are furloughed or working without pay.
It was not the first time she appeared to evade or ignore the question. When asked last week by The New York Post whether she would take a salary during the government shutdown, the 29-year-old representative said: “I’ve gotta run.”
Congressional staff and members of Congress are being paid through the shutdown because the legislative branch was funded last year through fiscal year 2019. Ocasio-Cortez’s salary kicked in last Thursday after she was sworn in as a Democratic lawmaker representing New York.
The departments of justice, interior, transportation and homeland security were either sent home or are working without pay. The first pay period for those workers is Jan. 11.
Other newly-elected lawmakers – both democratic and republican – have said they will either refuse or donate their paycheck during the shutdown, The Washington Post reported.

I expect her to remain "mum" and I expect the Alt-Left to remain "mum" as well.




When asked by a reporter if she will be taking her first pay check her response was...


"I've gotta run."


In other words she will indeed be taking her first check and she is a hypocrite.

So, fair to say that you don't know whether she's taking her pay or not?

I have to say, I can't even name a single Canadian MP other than Trudeaubama. Your obsession with a freshman Congresswoman (one out of 435) from a country where you have no interests is kinda weird.

She is the same as a NDP candidate up here, your future

Nope watching Canadian politics playing out South of the border
Even more amusing is that you appear to think that left-wing notions of "democratic socialism" have their roots in Canada.

And downright hilarious is that you think anybody in New York knows or cares about Canadian politics or its half-witted philosophies.

Twin Moose is correct, a 3rd US Fed party that is a contender isn't far off in the future and it'll be far left like the CCF started out in Canada in Flatskatchewan.
