Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has already resumed tweeting shortly after declaring she was taking a break from the social media platform.
Ocasio-Cortez’s so-called “break” ended after she resumed posting on Tuesday by targeting Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) for his opposition to Joe Biden’s Build Back Better legislation.
In response to a report that Manchin considered Build Back Better “dead,” AOC wrote:
“Seniors, kids, & people with disabilities in my community have been sleeping with bubble jackets on in 18 degree nights, despite paying rent, bc the NYCHA funding to fix their heating and capital needs is in BBB.”
“Where should I direct them to wait out the cold? Manchin’s yacht?” she added.

The tweets come just under 24 hours after Ocasio-Cortez told her Instagram followers she was taking a break from Twitter in response to a post asking her about her lack of posts since her COVID-19 diagnosis.
“Yeah, when I got COVID, I turned off all my devices, which means I wasn’t really on social media that much or anything like that,” Ocasio-Cortez responded.
“People kind of fight and gossip and all this other stuff so much, but - and there’s a lot of negativity on there - but I’ll be back.”
“Don’t worry,” she said.
“But I’ll be back, don’t worry. Just feel like a break.”

AOC tested positive for COVID-19 days after being spotted taking a trip to Florida.
The progressive lawmaker responded by slamming Republicans for “projecting their sexual frustrations.”
“If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet,” Ocasio-Cortez said in response to one critic.

“It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women,& LGBT+ people in general,” she added.
“These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead.
"It’s really weird.”
