Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the hero our government needs. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.

"Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday night confirmed she will pay her interns at least $15 an hour.
“Time to walk the walk,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Very few members of Congress actually pay their interns. We will be one of them.”
Her message came after The Washington Post confirmed with her chief of staff that she intended to pay her interns the amount and after Ocasio-Cortez called for lawmakers to increase pay for their interns and staffers.
The rising Democratic star, a self-described democratic socialist, tweeted Monday that she visited a restaurant in Washington where she met “several” staff members who also work on Capitol Hill.
"This is a disgrace. Congress of ALL places should raise [Members' Representational Allowances] so we can pay staff an actual DC living wage," she wrote."
