Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among the majority of lawmakers who backed passing the legislation that notably did not include provisions for paid sick leave. A separate measure that also passed the House Wednesday, however, did include such provisions by giving rail workers seven paid days of sick leave each year.
"If Congress intervenes, it should be to have workers' backs and secure their demands in legislation," she tweeted. In another tweet responding to a union that thanked her for backing rail workers' pleas for paid sick leave provisions, Ocasio-Cortez wrote "Stay strong" and "we've got your back."
A lot of media outlets are wrongfully saying that AOC voted against the back to work bill, but if you check the House Clerk website it's clear that she voted "Yea".

I listened to it until they talked about Oprah running for president. Both the insane rightoid and the liberal thought it was a very terrible idea and Josh Barro was like "WTF? She's awesome you guys, she will unite this country, she has the power to create a bipartisan consensus by getting people to talk to each other" and I literally stopped the podcast that instant and unsubscribed from the feed.
Good for you! I wish I had a moment of grand revelation. Or at least decide if I am being inconsistent for liking TrueAnon despite Brace's misogynistic language.
it's definitely a terrible idea, but you gotta admit: she's famous enough to win it if she went for it.
