Overview
- Fans’ photos and selfies confirmed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at Yankee Stadium during the Yankees–Marlins game Sunday.
- Images showed her in a Yankees cap, with TMZ noting she browsed a team shop on the concourse.
- The New York Post, citing unnamed sources, said she watched from a private suite rather than general seating.
- The trip happened during week two of a paid congressional recess, when roughly 35,000 federal workers at agencies like DHS, FEMA, the Coast Guard and CISA had missed paychecks for about six weeks.
- She has not responded to questions about her attendance or the shutdown’s impact, as outlets from TMZ to Sportsnaut and the Post framed the optics in different ways.
