Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez enjoyed her paid vacation in a suite at the Yankees game Sunday — as tens of thousands of federal workers marked six weeks without a paycheck because of the Democrat-led government shutdown.
The firebrand “Squad” member was all smiles as she posed for selfies with admirers, who gushed about their encounters on social media.

“I met @AOC I’m never going to fail,” wrote one fan on X alongside his photo with Ocasio-Cortez, who donned a Yankees cap and dark navy and white striped sweater for the afternoon game against the Miami Marlins, which was delayed more than three-and-a-half hours due to rain.
“BREAKING: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was just spotted looking gorgeous at the Yankees game tonight,” wrote another devotee.
Sources told The Post the Democratic darling took in the game from one of the suites.
“She was not sitting down in the bleachers with her constituents,” the source said.
Given her warm reception, it’s unlikely either of the selfie-takers are among the 35,000 federal workers who haven’t received a paycheck in 48 days as the longest partial government shutdown in history drags on.
