AOC needs to get it together.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is lashing out in another emotional meltdown — this time accusing President Donald Trump and Republicans of “killing kids” just to fire up her far-left base and rake in campaign cash.
White House officials quickly fired back, calling her latest comments “baseless hysteria” meant to distract from Democrats’ failure to reopen the government and support struggling American families.
“If AOC really cared about America’s kids, she’d stop drumming up fear and tell her Democrat colleagues to reopen the government,” said White House spokesman Kush Desai. “Millions of families rely on WIC and other federal programs — yet Democrats are playing politics instead of helping them.”
AOC’s Fundraising Email Sparks Outrage
The fiery exchange began after Ocasio-Cortez sent a dramatic fundraising email Thursday night, demanding “grassroots donations” of just $5 or more while claiming President Trump “decided one day he wants to make sure kids are dying because they don’t have access to insurance.”
Critics blasted the message as “unhinged” and “disconnected from reality.”
“This is about people being able to insure their children,” she declared, while hinting at a possible 2028 Senate or even presidential run.
But her claims came just hours after Democrats in the Senate blocked a short-term Republican funding bill, triggering a partial government shutdown at midnight on Wednesday.
Democrats Demand More Spending — Trump Holds the Line
Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive allies are demanding a one-year extension of pandemic-era tax credits that temporarily made government-subsidized health insurance cheaper. They also want to roll back parts of Trump’s popular “big, beautiful bill” — the spending reform package designed to cut waste and restore fiscal accountability.
The changes, which don’t take effect immediately, are already encouraging states to trim bloated Medicaid payments that have skyrocketed since 2020.
Democrats call it “heartless.” Trump supporters call it common sense.
The Bigger Picture
As millions of Americans continue to face inflation, higher taxes, and soaring health costs, conservatives say Trump’s reforms put taxpayers first — ending the blank checks and reckless giveaways that fueled Washington’s spending spree.
Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez’s latest outburst appears more about political theater than real solutions — another example of a loud headline grabbing attention while offering nothing to fix the problems Americans face daily.
For now, Trump remains focused on reopening the government, securing the border, and restoring confidence in America’s future — while AOC continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.
