AOC did NOT vote against the bailout (I checked the video). She didn’t even support the motion by a Republican for a recorded vote! Yes, she gave a grandstanding speech against it to please her fans, but gave Pelosi left cover for the giveaway to Wall Street. Now Ms. Caruso-Cabrera is running because AOC isn’t covering for Pelosi and the Democratic establishment ENOUGH. This is how the 2-party system restricts the boundaries of electoral politics to please the wealthy. I’m an ex-aerospace worker. WE NEED A LABOR PARTY!

Caruso just moved to Queens? She used to live in Manhattan building owned by Trump? She is basically a Republican.
Where is interview with Ocasio-Cortez?

The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
