Recent findings reveal that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been utilizing taxpayer funds for personal entertainment and dining expenses.
Financial records uncovered by social media investigator Paul A. Szypula show the congresswoman charged $850 for dance instruction from Bombazo Dance Co Inc and spent $3,384 at Taco Bamba, a Virginia-based Mexican restaurant.
“.@AOC got dance lessons on 12/13/2024 from Bombazo Dance Co Inc and made the US taxpayer cover the $850 bill for that ‘training.’ On the same day there was $3,700 paid to Juan D Gonzalez for more ‘training.’ Earlier, on 9/18/24, AOC spent $3,384.74 for food at Taco Bamba.”

Further investigation reveals AOC’s staffing expenses between October and December 2024 included 22 personnel, costing nearly half a million dollars, with at least one confirmed undocumented worker.
“US House disbursements are out for October to December 2024. They show @AOC had at least 22 people she made US workers pay for: 19 employees: $459,691.67, 3 interns: $19,102.45. AOC admitted Naureen Akhter had been in the US illegally. How many others are illegals?”
Representative Jasmine Crockett’s expenses also came under scrutiny, with records showing monthly vehicle lease payments of approximately $1,000, while maintaining ownership of three luxury vehicles.

“.@RepJasmine Crockett made American workers pay for her car lease again in all three months from 10/1/24 to 12/31/24. The ‘AUTOMOBILE LEASE’ payment is $999.68/month. One such expense is dated 10/16 and near the bottom of this disbursement page. Crockett has THREE luxury cars.”
This pattern of lavish spending extends to other Democratic representatives, notably Eric Swalwell, whose campaign funds were used for personal expenses including childcare, upscale dining, and luxury accommodations at Dubai’s seven-star Burj-Al-Arab hotel.
“Rep. Eric Swalwell spent millions of dollars in campaign funds on his own childcare costs, Four Seasons steakhouses and staying at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, campaign filings show.”
