Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is very busy — too busy to set up her district office, she lamented on Twitter this week.
The Bronx socialist complained that the district work period was canceled over the shutdown, adding, “this is hard on all new members, who still need to set up our home offices” in a Thursday tweet.
Yep! Each Congressional term gets a new schedule set by the majority.
You can check where we are here – but next week’s District period has been cancelled due to the shutdown (this is hard on all new members, who still need to set up our home offices): https://t.co/uesQs9drlm https://t.co/IRZzC1YP7O

The mainstream media’s favorite Democrat may be having trouble focusing on her constituents, but she isn’t having any trouble traveling 2,158 miles away from her district to hobnob with Hollywood elites in Park City, Utah next weekend.
The New York Post reports:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is heading to the Sundance Film Festival to see herself on the big screen later this month.
The New York congresswoman is scheduled to attend the Jan. 27 screening of the documentary “Knock Down the House,” in which she is prominently featured, her office confirmed Tuesday.
Crews from New York-based production company Jubilee Films followed Ocasio-Cortez and three other women candidates during the 2018 election cycle.
This week, instead of setting up her district office, she attempted to hunt down Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, demanding he reopen the government, which has been partially shuttered since Ocasio-Cortez and Democrats have refused to provide funding for a wall on the southern border.
Today, Ocasio-Cortez is taking time to protest with the Women’s March instead of setting up her office:
