The core of the article is this exchange between AOC and former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen at his hearing before the oversight committee, which started off the fraud investigation:
Ocasio-Cortez: To your knowledge, did the president ever provide inflated assets to an insurance company?
Cohen: Yes.
Ocasio-Cortez: Who else knows that the president did this?
Cohen: Allen Weisselberg, Ron Lieberman and Matthew Calamari.
Ocasio-Cortez: And where would the committee find more information on this? Do you think we need to review his financial statements and his tax returns in order to compare them?
Cohen: Yes, and you would find it at the Trump Org.
I’m not American, but AOC is absolutely one of my most favorite politicians. She is such a powerful and smart politician IMO, and consistently on the right side of the issues.
Trump on the other hand, is the absolute bottom, funny how USA has such extremes.
I must admit I don’t know if that’s a good theory, as in describing reality reliably. Most models are as much ideology as they are factual.
The important thing is to weigh humanitarian values and the reality of economic effect sensibly.
I think most democracies are trying to do that, but in USA the Republicans have obviously lost sight of humanitarian values completely. And that’s especially dangerous for a two party system.
Fucking Slim-Fats SwampYankee over here has worse hearing than my ridiculously Italian grandmother. MA! SET OUT A PLATE FOR SLIM-FATS SWAMPYANKEE! THEY’RE STAYING FOR DINNER AND WANNA TRY YOUR BRECCA PATOOCHI!
I live in Italy and I still don’t know what you’re saying. Any chance you can get the proper spelling for your grandmother’s concoction? I’m genuinely interested.

Definitely give the whole thing a read, though.
I watched that live and she was sharp as fuck during the whole thing. Really impressed the hell out of me. We need more like her.

…and she’s a supporter of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT).

Matty Calamari, he works for Franky Lasagna and Giulio Gnocci. Notorious mob family, those Calamaris
And a side of seafood sauce. And can we get another round of drinks too?
