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.
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.
