AOC made Ariana Grande songs into progressive policies

‘God is a Woman: Strike the Hyde Amendment’

Since becoming the youngest ever congresswoman in US history back in January, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC) is on fire. When she’s not roasting Mark Zuckerberg on cryptocurrency, or giving impassioned speeches on climate change, congresswoman AOC is adapting Ariana Grande songs into progressive policies.

The hugely popular New York congresswoman tweeted on Friday (October 25) suggestions of “progressive policies as an Ariana dance party”, including “thank u, next: Replace for-profit health insurance w/ #MedicareForAll”; “God is a Woman: Strike the Hyde Amendment”; “Break Free: Student loan debt forgiveness”; and “Be Alright: Pass a Green New Deal!” Ariana Grande responded to the tweet shortly after, with “screaming screaming”.

The tweet follows an exchange between Ariana and Bernie Sanders, the United States senator for Vermont, who is aiming to become the Democratic nominee in the 2020 presidential race. He responded to a post by Ariana, which read, “baby how u feelin”, saying: “Ready to fight for Medicare for All.”

Earlier this year, Sanders met up with rapper Cardi B at a nail bar business in Detroit to discuss the minimum wage and employment in America. You can watch the video here.
