Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.

Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.

She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.

Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”

      I don’t know if I’m capable of being productive. I’m having a mental breakdown.

        Stop watching the news and focus on things you can control in your own life. Grow plants. Read. Paint. Create something with your hands. Try a new recipe. Help a friend or family member out. Call your parents and have them talk about their lives. Hope things get better soon.
