None of this is new. Deal was struck months ago w/House, Sen, WH. It’s how BIF was possible in the 1st place. If one member’s irrational demand tanks infrastructure, healthcare, & climate for the whole country then maybe that’s the real entitlement reform we should be looking at — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It was carefully negotiated over months that the only chance the bipartisan bill (BIF) has at passage is if it is voted alongside the Build Back Better Act. That is bc while BIF has some ok things, it also has a lot of bad things, & Build Back will die if BIF gets passed alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Changing the terms of a deal after it’s done is what one does when trying to tank millions of people’s chances at healthcare, childcare, climate protection, & unions but hope press and public aren’t paying attn so they can evade responsibility and blame others. Don’t fall for it! — PolitiTweet.org

Some of the options are: - Ignore/override the parliamentarian. Their determination is not a “ruling,” it is guidance. - Fire the parliamentarian (GOP did this in ‘01) - Edit the legislative language & review different paths (this is sometimes doable, sometimes not) — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

You know when someone doesn’t want to do something, but they don’t want people to know they don’t want to do it, so they blame someone else? That’s the parl for certain Dems who don’t want a $15 wage, paths to citizenship for millions of Americans, etc. But we have options.🕵🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Would you sign up for a job to get attacked by unvaccinated tourists for $15/hr? For no healthcare but max risk? Most wouldn’t. CEOs lobbying to end PUA should try it. The pandemic has workers not only asking “is it worth the pay?” but also “is this worth my health & safety?” — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

You can’t force people to work a job that doesn’t pay enough to live. This isn’t hard. What’s the point in working a $7.25 or even $15/hr job if the childcare needed costs almost as much as one’s paycheck? Letting PUA expire was based on fantasy, not data. We must restore it. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It doesn’t matter if a Democrat or Republican is President, our immigration system is designed for cruelty towards and dehumanization of immigrants. Immigration should not be a crime, and its criminalization is a relatively recent invention. This is a stain on our country. — PolitiTweet.org

I am open to taking a look at SALT and addressing concerns for families put under the squeeze in high cost of living areas. But a full 100% SALT repeal means major tax breaks for extremely high-net worth individuals and billionaires. Why do that? 🙅🏽‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We should not endorse a full 100% repeal of SALT caps. The influence of wealthy lobbyists is bipartisan, and it’s unsurprising that some of the same folks pushing 100% repeal were also the ones trying to derail the entire budget just a few weeks ago. https://t.co/nXpbtk5Ng0 — PolitiTweet.org

The amendments also include one of several measures to crack down on program 1033, which allows US military to transfer weapons and military equipment to local police depts - including items like grenade launchers. We must stop the militarization of local police departments. — PolitiTweet.org
