Ocasio Cortez 2024
The rapper threw her support behind Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday, suggesting she run for president in 2024 after the congresswoman posted a video of herself jamming out to Cardi's song. She would be eligible, yes — but in actual practice, being constitutionally eligible to run for president is a very different thing from having enough political experience to be seen as a credible candidate for president.

Siberia has high temperatures this year that were beyond unseasonably warm. From January through May, the average temperature has been about 14 degrees Fahrenheit above average, according to Berkeley Earth.
The thermometer hit a record of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit in the Russian Arctic town of Verkhoyansk on Saturday. Once it is verified by meteorological experts, it will be unprecedented for the region north of the Arctic Circle.
“That’s much, much warmer than it’s ever been over that region in that period of time,” Berkeley Earth climate scientist Zeke Hausfather said.
Forests have literally been of fire also. Several forest fires are raging in the area.

Ocasio Cortez 2024
'She better run for president when she turns 35,' the “WAP” rapper wrote of Ocasio-Cortez after seeing a video of the New York congresswoman dancing to her song “Bodak Yellow” while discussing access to dental care.
Ocasio-Cortez quickly responded on Twitter, writing, 'Women Against Patriarchy (WAP) 2020,” using the acronym from the singer's new song title -- but substituting a more G-rated meaning.
In this election season, both Cardi B and Ocasio-Cortez supported U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for the Democratic presidential nomination until Sanders ended his candidacy.
Ocasio-Cortez, 30, will just meet the presidential age requirement for the 2024 election.
On Friday, she posted an Instagram Story, showing off the new clear plastic retainer she got to straighten her teeth – while dancing to Cardi B.
'I had to GET ELECTED TO CONGRESS for me to afford dental treatment,' Ocasio-Cortez, who won her Bronx seat in 2018 after upsetting longtime Democratic incumbent Joseph Crowley in a primary and then later beating a Republican. 'This is my first time having health insurance in years, and even THEN it didn't really cover the cost of this -- but it did cover other doc appts so I could more easily save.'

'In other words, I got a bag and fixed my teeth. EXCEPT YOU SHOULDN'T NEED A BAG TO FIX YOUR TEETH, GET INSULIN, GET HEALTHCARE,” she wrote, quoting a line from the song.
