Ocasio-Cortez on Musk, Ramaswamy ‘working’ with Greene: ‘Actually hilarious’

"SNIP...........

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) reacted to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) appointment to chair a new House Oversight and Accountability subcommittee that will work in tandem with President-elect Trump’s new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE).

Trump earlier this month tapped tech entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the advisory group, which will focus on cutting federal spending and reducing the size of the government.

“Absolutely dying at those two now getting assigned the ‘privilege’ of ‘working’ with MTG,” Ocasio-Cortez posted Thursday on the social platform X. “That is actually hilarious. Enjoy, fellas! Very prestigious post you have there.”

“This is good, actually,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading. To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.”

in our lives.

We are so smart (she is brilliant and we are smart enough to recognize that) we can talk circles around these idiots. There has to be some power in that somewhere. Has too.

a properly pomped-opp MANLY MAN team equipped to pummel the government in its puny regulations. With the help of Bob-Kennedy-approved organic steroids sourced from rotting whale heads, or course.
