AOC Called Out for Being in Suburban Yearbook After Using 'Bronx Girl' Label in Response to Trump's Name-Calling
A New York lawmaker called out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for referring to herself as a "Bronx girl," claiming that she appeared in the yearbook for his school in the suburban town Yorktown.
"I'm a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully," the Democratic representative wrote on X Monday in response to jabs made at her by President Donald Trump.

"@AOC if you're a BX girl then why are you in my Yorktown yearbook? Give it up already," assemblyman Max Slater responded, attaching images of AOC in the yearbook.

Social media users quickly pointed out that AOC was born in the Bronx and lived there for a total of 19 years, having moved to Yorktown and then back to the Bronx during her lifetime.
"Grok kind of shut this down. She lived there a total of 19 years. She lived there until she was 5 and then another 14 years later on. That's enough time to say you're from the Bronx. I lived in the Bronx for 30 years and then somewhere else for the last 19 years. I'm still a Bronx guy. Plus, she was raised by Bronx parents. That Bronx culture doesn't just leave you when you move somewhere else," said one user.

Other users questioned the yearbook photo due to the fact that those included do not appear in alphabetical order.
"What kind of year book isn't in alphabetical order?" one user noted.

The lawmaker was listed in the yearbook as "Alexandria Cortez," and placed between two students with "N" and "O" last names. However, as AOC goes by "Ocasio-Cortez," some claimed that it could have been a misprint or last-minute change.
AOC's initial post was in response to Trump berating her on Truth Social for calling for his impeachment due to his decision to bomb Iran.
"Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the "dumbest" people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before," he began.
"Instead of her constant complaining, Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she "represents," and which she never goes to anymore," he added.
"Mr. President, don't take your anger out on me - I'm just a silly girl. Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war," AOC responded. "It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made."

GOP Congressman Calls for NYC Mayoral Candidate's Deportation With 'Islamophobic' Rant
A Republican congressman called for the Democratic socialist candidate who won the New York City mayoral primary to be deported, as well as accusing him of being "antisemitic" and a "communist." Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles announced Thursday he was imploring Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to investigate Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic mayoral nomination Tuesday night. "Zohran 'little muhammad' Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings," Ogles captioned the post . The lawmaker also included the letter he sent Bondi, in which he insisted that Mamdani has expressed "open solidarity" with a group that previously aided Hamas, the militant group responsible for the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel that killed more than 1,200 people. Ogles cited a New York Post article from over the weekend, which claimed Mamdani had rapped about the Holy Land Foundation in 2017. Although Ogles acknowledged that citing rap lyrics may anger some First Amendment hardliners, he argued that "speech alone does not preclude accountability where it reasonably suggests underlying conduct relevant to eligibility for naturalization." The representative also claimed that Mamdani "recently rejected opportunities to reject the pro-terrorist rallying cry to 'globalize the antifada.'" Mamdani, 33, is Muslim and Indian. He was born in Uganda to Indian parents before moving to the U.S. when he was 7. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2018, according to the Associated Press . The Democratic socialist candidate notably beat out former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the Democratic nomination in the race for mayor of New York City. But while his nomination was met with celebration from many, several MAGA supporters became enraged by Mamdani's success. Ogles' announcement, which was shared across various social media platforms, has been met with heavy backlash. Journalist and lawyer Aaron Parnas called Ogles' post "one of the most hateful and Islamophobic posts you'll ever see" in a TikTok which has since garnered more than 163,000 views. "They don't hide racism in this administration," one user commented on TikTok. Another wrote, "They really have no shame in their hatred." "The people voted. End of story," one user argued. Mamdani has not yet commented on Ogles' accusations as of Thursday afternoon. Originally published on Latin Times

Trump Declares Iran Was Spotted 'Trying to Cover Up' Damaged Nuclear Sites, Proving 'Nothing Was Taken Out' Before Attack
President Donald Trump criticized Iranian officials, accusing them of "trying to cover up" damage to its nuclear sites after a leak alleged the strikes caused only minimal impact. "The cars and small trucks at the site were those of concrete workers trying to cover up the top of the shafts," Trump wrote in a Thursday Truth Social post. "Nothing was taken out of facility," the president continued. "Would take too long, too dangerous, and very heavy and hard to move!" Trump's post followed a Pentagon news conference held by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, addressing the effectiveness of the strikes in Iran and the country's retaliatory missile attack on a U.S. base in Qatar. Instead of offering new details or directly answering reporters' questions, Hegseth emphasized the mission's success and pushed back against Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, a former colleague, who asked whether Iran had moved its highly enriched uranium prior to the strike. "Of course we're watching every single aspect," Hegseth said. "But, Jennifer, you've been about the worst. The one who misrepresents the most intentionally." Originally published on Latin Times
