        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AOC is getting time on the small screen.</p><p>Netflix&#8217;s new comedy &#8220;<strong>Space Force</strong>,&#8221; which premiered Friday, spoofs the New York City congresswoman.</p><p>On the show, a bumbling member of the Air Force (played by Steve Carell) struggles while running the newest branch of the military, the Space Force. The show&#8217;s Astro-bureau was started at the urging of the unnamed president on his Twitter feed. President Trump created the real-life Space Force in 2019.</p><p>The real-world comparisons don&#8217;t stop there. High-powered members of congress named Shugler and Petosi, clear riffs on Senator Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, control the Space Force&#8217;s budget.</p><p>Rep. Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s counterpart is named Representative Anabela Ysidro-Campos, who hails from New York. She&#8217;s introduced as the youngest member of the military-spending committee which Carell&#8217;s character, General Naird, is testifying to.</p><p>Ysidro-Campos talks with her hands and wears a red suit. &#8220;I want to tell my constituents on food stamps why your agency needs a $10,000 orange?&#8221; she asks, grilling Naird.</p><p>The New Yorker is played by Ginger Gonzaga.</p><p>&#8220;Hi @AOC 👋 I play aYc on @realspaceforce on @Netflix, a show made by kind, smart people like you!,&#8221; the actress <a href="https://twitter.com/gingerthejester/status/1266414681536598016?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote to the congresswoman</a> on Twitter.</p><p>&#8220;It’s an honor to play even a satirical version of you, &amp; if you see it, I hope it makes you giggle. Grateful 4 this excuse to say thanks 4 all your work&#8230;especially now. #bffs?&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
