Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., once an outsider who vowed to take on the Democratic establishment, is finally being embraced by her own party.

The progressive member of Congress took to the stage at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night to give a full-throated endorsement of Kamala Harris for president and was met with rapturous applause and chants of her now-famous initials.

“It’s been unconscionable for me the last 10 months to witness my colleagues in this administration refusing to recognize the genocidal war that is taking place in Gaza,” Omar said on Wednesday.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intends to end his independent presidential campaign and endorse former President Donald Trump, according to two sources familiar with the plans.

What is the Harris Doctrine exactly? Remember Medicare for All? In 2019, as Democrats scrambled to adjust around Bernie Sanders’s presence in the primary field, Harris herself proclaimed that it was a “human and civil right,” but now it’s all but off the table.

A Green New Deal? Yeah, right. A cease-fire in Gaza? We’ll see, but only if you stop raising a ruckus. But, hey, aren’t you psyched about our subsidy program to incentivize corporate developers to build a small number of slightly-below-market-rate units? Let’s hear it for removing medical debt from credit scores! No, we will not do anything drastic to eliminate the medical debt itself. Or the student debt, for that matter.
