1. AOC 2028
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is up to something. And I think I know what it is.
And, no, I don’t mean anything nefarious. I simply mean that she’s got her eye on her political future — and is putting the pieces in place to grab what she wants.
The latest evidence? She raised nearly $10 million in the first three months of 2025, a stunning total for a House member and almost two-thirds of what she raised total in 2023 and 2024 combined. Ocasio-Cortez ended March with more than $8 million in the bank.
She is, quite literally, flush with cash.
The news was announced via X by Oliver Hidalgo-Wohlleben, a senior adviser to AOC:
More than 250,000 individual donors?! An average contribution of $21?!
Know what that sounds a LOT like? A presidential candidate.
Paid subscribers can see LOTS more evidence for why I think AOC is plotting a presidential run below. You also get a video explainer on the Harvard vs Trump situation and an IRS chart that should chill you.
