36 hours with AOC.
Things are smoother now. AOC has mandated paper agendas for every meeting. On the docket for the day is a trip-planning session with her staff: She has been courted by socialists in France, Jeremy Corbyn in the U.K., and the Labour Party in Germany, per Corbin Trent, her communications director.
