      A brief and uncomprehensive history of AOC’s pro-authoritarian tendencies:

      2025 – AOC one of only 8 Ds to vote with far-right Rs against Georgia sanctions. [Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives – Vote Details](https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025116)

      2024 – AOC joins Greene again to vote against the TikTok bill (yeah, yeah, this one’s more complicated). [Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives – Vote Details](https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024145)

      2023 – AOC one of only 7 Ds to vote with far-right Rs against Venezuela sanctions. [Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives – Vote Details](https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2019689)

      2022 – AOC one of only 4 Ds to vote with MTG and other far-right Rs to oppose Russia sanctions. [Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives – Vote Details](https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022130)

      2021 – AOC votes against bill sanctioning Nicaragua for its brutal crackdown on NGOs/journalists/political opposition. [Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives – Vote Details](https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2021354)

      Only time she’s voted well on something like this was the Big Ukraine Bill, which had enough attention that voting against it would be embarrassing. I would not like it if she sniffed the white house, even if I can appreciate her relentless attacks on the Trump admin.

      It sounds like Tony Evers is planning to announce he will not run for reelection very soon.

      Reasons the Epstein scandal will blow over: Most scandals do. The base rate massively favors Trump, which is the starting point in any projections. And Trump is skilled at engineering ways out of perception problems by going on the offense under the guise of dealing with the problem.

      Reasons the Epstein scandal will not blow over: This is qualitatively different. Similar to the Tsar’s Rasputin or Park Geun-hye’s cult shaman. People don’t mind corruption or attacks against perceived enemies, but they universally dislike creepiness.
