Political Satire â Not a Real Event
The U.S. Senate was supposed to be easing into a routine Tuesday morning when Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez strode onto the floor like a general entering a victory parade. In her hand: a freshly printed copy of Green New Deal 2.0, held high like a banner of triumph.
âSenator Kennedy refuses to support our $93 trillion climate justice plan because heâs a fossil fromââ
She never finished the sentence.
Before the chair could recognize him, Senator John Kennedy rose slowly from his seat, holding what looked like the most harmless object in Washington: a plain manila folder. But the bold black marker across the frontââDEM RECEIPTS â DO NOT BENDââinstantly shifted the energy in the chamber.
Kennedy didnât wait for permission.
He simply opened the folder and began to read, his voice a blend of Louisiana molasses and courtroom steel.
Page One: AOC
âAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Net worth 2020 to 2025: twenty-nine thousand dollars⊠to twelve point four million.
Campaign promise: âNo corporate PAC money.â
Actual donors: BlackRock, Google, Pfizerâfour point seven million dollars in dark money funneled through ActBlue shells.
Bartender backstory? Last W-2 showed twenty-six thousand dollars⊠while mamaâs seven rental properties paid the actual bills.
Green New Deal co-author, Saikat Chakrabartiâfired for funneling one point two million to his own LLC.â
The chamber fell still. The rustling of papers stopped. Even C-SPANâs microphones seemed to lean closer.
Page Two: Chuck Schumer
Kennedy turned the page with the ceremony of a judge delivering a verdict.
âCharles Schumer.
âWorking-class heroâ from Brooklyn.
Current residence: an eight point two million dollar Park Slope brownstone.
Spouseâs net worth: forty-seven millionâGoldman Sachs board seat.
Inflation Reduction Act: three hundred seventy billion dollars to green companiesâforty-two of which donated to his PAC that same week.â
Reporters exchanged looks. Some smirked. Some blinked. No one dared speak.
Page Three: The Math
Then came the third pageâthe one Kennedy called âThe Math They Pray You Never See.â
âNinety-three trillion dollars over ten years equals seven hundred fourteen thousand dollars per U.S. household.
Average New York City household income under Democratic policy: seventy-one thousand.
Thatâs ten full years of every paycheckâgone before breakfast.â
With that, Kennedy snapped the folder shut. The crack echoed across the chamber like a gavel.
He turned toward AOC.
âDarlinâ, I did the homework,â he said, voice low and unimpressed.
âYou want ninety-three trillion from people who canât afford groceries, while you fly private to climate conferences? Take that trust-fund socialism, fold it till itâs all corners, and put it where the Green New Deal donât shine.â
The Silence Heard Across America
The chamber didnât gasp.
It stopped breathing.
AOC froze mid-blink.
Schumerâs glasses slipped halfway down his nose.
Even the C-SPAN cameras seemed to recoil before zooming in.
Within minutes, the livestream shattered records: 28 million concurrent viewers, the highest in the networkâs history.
Kennedy sat down. The manila folder remained on the podium like a tombstone marking the sudden death of Green New Deal 2.0âs momentum.
Online, the reaction was immediate and explosive.
#KennedyMassplode shot to the number-one trending spot worldwide for 36 straight hours.
AOC vanished from social media for half a day.
Schumerâs office condemned the exchange as âMcCarthyism.â
Kennedy responded with a single photo of a Louisiana food-stamp line and the caption:
âMcCarthyism is promising utopia while picking pockets.â
The folderâaccording to the joke now circulating onlineâis locked in the Senate archives.
But, thanks to millions of viewers, Americans feel like theyâve already read every page.
