    Two critics of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who were blocked by the lawmaker on Twitter are now suing her. New York congressional candidate Joseph Saladino and former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hinkind on Tuesday filed separate lawsuits against Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, in reaction to this week's federal court ruling barring President Donald Trump from blocking his own critics on the platform. Both men announced their lawsuits (both filed in federal courts in New York) on Twitter, with Saladino including a video of him filling out the claim.
