AOC Defends Egg-Freezing Journey Amid Sexist Backlash

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended publicly sharing her egg-freezing journey, saying she has no regrets and attributes the scrutiny to sexist double standards faced by women in politics. She argued the negativity would exist regardless of disclosure and framed the transparency as a means to inform and empower others. The process involves hormone treatment and egg harvesting over about two weeks, and the posts drew criticism from some conservatives while fueling personal-life rumors.

Pelosi blasts Wiener’s AI impersonation tactic as sexist

Rep. Nancy Pelosi and allies condemned Scott Wiener’s use of an AI chatbot that imitates rival Connie Chan, calling the tactic sexist and potentially racist. Wiener says the bot is meant to educate voters about Chan’s record and to spotlight AI safety, while Chan’s campaign and Pelosi argue it degrades women of color and weaponizes AI in politics. The controversy adds fuel to the ongoing debate over AI’s role in campaigns, with calls from Pelosi and others to remove the bot and broader scrutiny of how AI is used in elections.
