Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York expressed frustration with the state of Congress and the gridlock that is stopping any meaningful legislation, calling it a "shit show" that has dragged down President Joe Biden's approval rating.
"We should really not take this present political moment for granted, and do everything that we can," she said during a recent New Yorker interview. "At the beginning of last year, many of us in the progressive wing—but not just the progressive wing—were saying we don't want to repeat a lot of the hand-wringing that happened in 2010, when there was this very precious opportunity in the Senate for things to happen."
