 'Drink water and don't be racist': Ocasio-Cortez 

gives Republicans upset over Vanity Fair outfit 'pointers' on how to look better


In the latest issue, for which the New York congresswoman is a cover star, Ocasio-Cortez dons designer clothing for the cover, as is custom, and in additional photos taken for the issue.

Though Ocasio-Cortez does not get to keep the clothes, she generated backlash online for the photoshoot from conservatives who called her out over the expensive clothing and accused her of being hypocritical given her progressive platform.

However, Ocasio-Cortez pushed back against the criticism not long after on Twitter Thursday, writing: "Republicans are Very Mad (again) about my appearance. This time they're mad that I look good in borrowed clothes (again)."

"Listen, if Republicans want pointers on looking your best, I'm happy to share. Tip #1: Drink water and don't be racist," she continued.

She also retweeted a post from Fox News' Laura Ingraham that linked to a Fox News article with the head: "AOC appears in Vanity Fair in outfits worth $14,000 to curse Trump out."

"100 percent worth it, would do it again," she wrote in a series of tweets. "(& I don't know if you've been in a photoshoot Laura, but you don't keep the clothes.)"

"The whole 'she wore clothes in a magazine, let's pretend they're hers' gimmick is the classic Republican strategy of 'let's willfully act stupid, and if the public doesn't take our performative stupidity seriously then we'll claim bias.' GOP, get yourselves together. It's sad," she said.

This is not the first time Ocasio-Cortez has fielded heat from conservatives for her wardrobe choices.

She also knocked the right-leaning New York Post earlier this year after it published a story about a designer dress she wore during an appearance "The View," saying then that the outlet was "just mad that you can look good fighting for working families."

She also shot back at a journalist of the conservative-leaning Washington Examiner in 2018 after he said clothing she wore on Capitol Hill didn't look like that of a person who "struggles."

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
