The Green New Deal decarbonizes our economy while ensuring we leave no community behind, incl job transitions for miners, labor rights, healthcare & wages. Calling the consideration of working people in climate policy a “distraction” is what is truly unsustainable + unrealistic. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@tim_maliyil Debating healthcare proposals is a perfectly good-faith convo to have,& we should define the terms for clear discourse. There’s a lot of folks branding what is essentially a public option or private insurance slushy mix as M4A. They should call a public op a public op &M4A, M4A. — PolitiTweet.org

Immigration policy isn’t about “containing a problem.” It’s about realizing the opportunity & value inherent in all people. Also, for the last time: 🗣 people who are undocumented pay taxes! Public goods aren’t “gifts” to immigrants - they pay for your kids’ schooling too. — PolitiTweet.org

Medicare for All is single-payer healthcare. That’s it. That’s the policy. — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthyism is the practice of baselessly accusing political opponents of being communists as unjust grounds for targeting & harassment. You are blocking action to protect US elections despite official DoJ pleas. That doesn’t make you a communist. It just makes you a bad leader. — PolitiTweet.org

What’s strange about Rep Hice lying about this (I offered sworn testimony, incl names to corroborate) is that he + I share a committee! So let’s keep it 💯: we’re going to see each other at work & you’re going to pretend to be nice to me. Passive aggression. It’s a lifestyle 👍🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Telling working class people they are “low-skill” is an out of touch, insulting excuse for poor wages & conditions. There is no such thing as inherently “low-skill” work. All labor requires skill to do well! Ppl know competent+reliable servers,landscapers,etc are VERY valuable. — PolitiTweet.org

That was one of the most in-depth political interviews I’ve had in a long time, including @EBROINTHEAM asking questions no one else has asked. Shout out to @oldmanebro, @Rosenbergradio & @LAURASTYLEZ for creating that space & coming at these conversations in a totally unique way — PolitiTweet.org

You may think the #GreenNewDeal is “too much, too soon.” But setting climate goals for 2030 isn’t due to some arbitrary political rationale - it’s there due to scientific consensus. Simply put, we must draw down carbon by 2030 to stave off climate disaster on levels yet unseen. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Climate Equity means: 🚰 When we talk water, we discuss Flint 💨 When we talk air, we discuss BX asthma ⛑ When we talk coal, we fight for miners’ pensions 🤲🏽 When we talk abt just transitions, we honor Native people 👩🏼‍🏭 When we talk economics, we center working people & families — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

A Green New Deal is more than switching to renewables. It’s about paying attention to frontline communities: everyday people whose water is poisoned, pensions are robbed, & communities still vulnerable. That’s why we’re releasing a Climate Equity Plan: https://t.co/QTxqCghF3u — PolitiTweet.org

By the end of the mtg, I had no idea if I made the cut. If you look at Oversight, it includes many all-stars of Congress. From @RepRaskin to @RoKhanna, Cummings is a legendary coach who brings the best out of everyone. He makes the country better. You want to be on his team. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

He looked right at me & said: “I am going to ask you plainly: Are you here to do the work?” People’s lives are at stake in urgent ways on Oversight. He demanded excellence, & was watching my every word. I said “Yes” &made my best case incl why & how I wanted to be on the cmte. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Let me tell you a story about Chairman @RepCummings. Before new members are assigned to Congressional committees, we have to make our case to the chair. Chairman Cummings was TOUGH. I sat down in his office to make my case for Oversight, and I was quite nervous. — PolitiTweet.org

Okay everyone UPDATE on Equifax: for most people the better deal is 10 years of free credit monitoring. There’s apparently a run on settlements so there’s anxiety people are going to get 16 cent checks. But if you choose 10 years of credit monitoring, Equifax *must* cover it. — PolitiTweet.org
