Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.

Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.

She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.

Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”

      Since people outside the south tend to not know that the phrase is generally uttered as a sincere one after someone has emotionally moved you, whose bite exists only in that context (ie, you have moved them to pity) I choose to interpret it in the former way, the same way my Democratic southern grandmother would have. Bless her heart, she is doing the Lord’s work.

          It is one of my pet peeves. My grandma was the sweetest woman on earth, one of her go to phrases doesn’t deserve this one dimensional understanding! You can only have it as an insanely effective burn if it’s usually sincere! I will get up on a soapbox and bang pots and pans about this all day if I’m allowed, haha.
