The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (which is ideologically diverse) concurs, and is officially recommending a NO vote. ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This Senate Bill will have us write a $4.6 Billion blank check (incl military $) for the border w NO accountability - just a verbal pinky promise. Trump is not to be trusted with protecting our immigrants. Why must that even be stated? We need hard lines of protection, in ink. — PolitiTweet.org

We have time. We can stay in town. We can at LEAST add some amendments to this Senate bill. But to pass it completely unamended with no House input? That seems a bridge too far. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

0 negotiation with the House. We offered crucial amendments to protect children and families - none are even being considered. A minority is different than a majority. And while the Senate has to deal with its lack of power there, a House majority should have a seat @ the table. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@jaketapper 0 conferencing with House Dems. 0 amendments accepted - including CRUCIAL amendments that would prevent more suffering. There is enormous frustration here with the capitulation of the Senate minority. But that aside, we have a majority in the House and need to use it. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Under no circumstances should the House vote for a McConnell-only bill w/ no negotiation with Democrats. Hell no. That’s an abdication of power we should refuse to accept. They will keep hurting kids if we do. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress gets a Gold plan that we pick off the ACA exchange. Spoiler: Insurance is STILL a pain. I had the “consumer choice” of picking btwn 56 diff plans that were all tough to distinguish. There was a comparison web tool & it’s still confusing. Healthcare > insurance any day. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This President will not lift a finger to save these kids. It is well within his power, but he & Mitch McConnell would rather cast blame than do anything. They need to get on board w/ a clean humanitarian bill. We can’t write no-strings blank checks to abusive facilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

In meeting I asked “Why can the president take money from other agencies to build his little wall, but can’t move money to get kids toothpaste?” It’s bc his “nat’l emergency” is ONLY to build his wall. But he won’t declare an emergency to save these kids & get them help. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

His Senate bill is a militarization bill. McConnell killed the House Bill & dropped this one right before recess to force passage. Well, too bad. This is our job. Cancel vacation, fly the Senate in. Pass a clean humanitarian bill & stop trying to squeeze crises for more pain. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Mitch McConnell killed the House border $ over “poison pill riders.” What are the “poison pills” he’s talking about? Protections for kids & punishment for inhumane facility co’s. The GOP is heightening children‘s pain for political gain. It’s horrifying.https://t.co/TBoPu3bW1d — PolitiTweet.org
