Dred Scott. Korematsu vs. United States. Citizens United. Party aside, the Supreme Court has gotten things horrifyingly wrong in the past. That’s why Congress must preserve our power and independence: we are part of the check + balance. — PolitiTweet.org

What a damn shame. We must pass the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund. It’s not just about procedure. It’s about showing up for the heroes who were there for us. I don’t sit on this committee, but if any of the first responders there today would like to meet with me, let me know. — PolitiTweet.org

@jaydestro One way everyday people can help: check to see if your Rep is cosponsored on the bill. Many are not. You can check who’s on it here. If your member isn’t on the bill, call them and ask why not: https://t.co/RAmSyvUJxQ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@jaydestro Hey there - thanks for asking about the VCF! We just held a bipartisan press conference about it last weekend. Cosponsors are up + the bill is now getting a hearing in the Judiciary committee. That’s the key step we need to getting a vote on the floor & passing the House. https://t.co/8Yn9rXA0IH — PolitiTweet.org

Yep, it’s not just about cost of living adjustments, we’re also fighting for a living wage for interns + for strong staffer salaries, too. DC is teeming w staffers whose parents subsidized their low-wage (or no wage) jobs. That’s partly why many policies are out of touch. — PolitiTweet.org

In democratically socialist businesses (like worker co-ops) or methods (like collective bargaining) you actually CAN vote for a worker pay increase. Many do! We can’t pass these laws bc of big money. This is how you chip at it. Like I said, it’s not popular but I’m being 💯 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It’s not a fun or politically popular position to take. But consistency is important. ALL workers should get cost of living increases. That’s why minimum wage should be pegged to inflation, too. Voting against cost of living increases is 1 reason why dark $ loopholes stay open. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

What this does is punish members who rely on a straight salary, and reward those who rely on money loopholes and other forms of self-dealing. For example, it incentivizes the horrible kinds of legislative looting we saw in the GOP tax scam bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Yep. Voting against cost of living increases for members of Congress may sound nice, but doing so only increases pressure on them to keep dark money loopholes open. This makes campaign finance reform *harder.* ALL workers deserve cost of living increases, incl min wage workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

No human being should be tortured by or in the United States. That means NO ONE should be kept in solitary confinement. Layleen Polanco was, and now she’s gone - all for $500 bail + low lvl offense. #CloseRikers #AbolishSolitary #EndCashBail #DecriminalizePoverty #EndWarOnDrugs — PolitiTweet.org
