Whereas Ted Cruz Was Speeding Again to America AOC Raised $1 Million for the Folks of Texas

Texas Republicans Senator Ted Cruz and right-wing extremists Erick Erickson, Dinesh D’Souza, Ben Shapiro and Donald Trump Jr. all thought there was nothing a seated US Senator could do for the millions of people who are freezing and starving in the Lone Star State.

After massive internet outrage – outrage dubbed “culture breakup” in a rant by Trump Jr. today – Senator Cruz sent her back to America from his Cancun crash pad at the Ritz Carlton and issued a statement on the origins of his Mexico’s off trip, literally more lied, and came home to a house in Houston that was empty except for his dog Snowflake and his security guard hanging in his car in the driveway.

While the Texas Senator was doing all of this, a New York City Congressman went to work for his constituents because someone had to.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, MP raised $ 1 million for the people of Texas. Everything is distributed to five charities in Texas.

Impressive.

At 9:17 p.m., we officially raised $ 1 million for aid in Texas.

Thank you all. 🙏🏽 I have no words. Always in awe of movement work.

💯% of this aid goes directly to Texas Food Aid, Homeless Aid, Elderly Care and much more. https://t.co/DSkTSqfbkZ

You can still donate.

AOC has just taught an amazing lesson in human power, leadership, creativity, and government.

Republicans continue to insist that the government is bad. Government is as good or as bad as the people in government.
