All Dems need for the slam dunk is to do what people elected us to do: help as many people as possible. It’s not hard. Let’s not screw it up with austerity nonsense that squeezes the working class yet never makes a peep when tax cuts for yachts and private jets are proposed. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It should be $2000 to begin w/ anyway. Brutally means-testing a $1400 round is going to hurt so many people. THAT is the risk we can’t afford. Income thresholds already work in reverse & lag behind reality. Conservative Dems can ask to tax $ back later if they’re so concerned. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We cannot cut off relief at $50k. It is shockingly out of touch to assert that $50k is “too wealthy” to receive relief. Millions are on the brink of eviction. Give too little and they’re devastated. Give “too much” and a single mom might save for a rainy day. This isn’t hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Imagine being a policymaker in Washington, having witnessed the massive economic, social, and health destruction over the last year, and think that the greatest policy risk we face is providing *too much* relief. Sounds silly, right? $1.9T should be a floor, not a ceiling. — PolitiTweet.org

@AndrewYang @TweetBenMax @RitchieTorres Thanks @AndrewYang! Happy to chat about the plan details and the community effort that’s gone into this legislation. 🌃🌎 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@TweetBenMax @AndrewYang @RitchieTorres I wrote the original Green New Deal for Public Housing, which was written carefully w/ NYCHA residents, advocates, & building trades to create over 30k jobs in the city and revamp public housing. This isn’t that plan. The original work is here: https://t.co/pzdTv8WMXk — PolitiTweet.org

Or @CoriBush’s powerful account of barricading in with her staff and the collective decision they made that if white supremacists breached their office, they had already come too far in the Movement for Black Lives to go down without a fight: — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The reason some GOP are trying to sow false doubt about accounts of the Capitol attack is bc they know how powerful the testimony really is. Each story reveals more details + the need for accountability. You can see mine here: https://t.co/J7aaTuweLx & others on CSPAN below ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Not only did I never make this claim, but I would never, ever do this. What Greene is doing pumping this lie to her insurrectionist base is making them feel justified in further violence. The prospect of stripping her committees clearly isn’t quelling her. She must be expelled. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@NancyMace “I’m not discounting your experience, I’m just fact checking statements you never made and insinuating you said them” Great job Mace 👍🏽 Hope you’re proud of how quickly you are to throw other survivors under the bus for a moment of personal gain. Enjoy your Fox News hits. — PolitiTweet.org

@SmallTownPundit It’ll be available on CSPAN, which archives footage online for later viewing. If you follow our official Congressional accounts (usually they have “rep” in front of them - mine is @RepAOC) I’m sure many clips will also be reposted. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

As I said earlier this week, my story of the attack on our Capitol is not the only story,nor is it the central story. It is just one of 100s of stories. Tonight, we will start to hear more on the House floor. I invite all colleagues who wish to share to join our special order. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Last night House Republicans gave a standing ovation to their GOP colleague who then went on the floor today to equate journalistic media outlets with QAnon. These are the beliefs and actions they work to protect. It’s also a predictable outcome of 0 accountability for the 6th. — PolitiTweet.org

How many food workers or custodial workers or Capitol Police officers, who ran for their lives in Longworth or feared for their families in the weeks after the attacks, now think their terror is less valid because of her statements? Mace’s attacks are attacks on them, too. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is where the true damage of what @NancyMace is doing comes in. How many survivors are watching her? Who now, seeing her, won’t get care or will feel further shame or silence? Who won’t speak up bc they know there are voices in leadership ready to minimize their experiences? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

All I can think of w/ folks like her dishonestly claiming that survivors are exaggerating are the stories of veterans and survivors in my community who deny themselves care they need & deserve bc they internalize voices like hers saying what they went through “wasn’t bad enough” — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Wild that @NancyMace is discrediting herself less than 1 mo in office w/ such dishonest attacks. She *went on record* saying she barricaded in fear. @NancyMace who else’s experiences will you minimize?Capitol Police in Longworth? Custodial workers who cleaned up shards of glass? — PolitiTweet.org

This was what you were saying just a few weeks ago. Now you’re contradicting your own account to attack me for Fox News clicks. It’s honestly pretty sad to see you turn around like this and throw other people under the bus. Thought you’d be better. https://t.co/1WPlwUWlar — PolitiTweet.org
