This is happening across the board and I don’t know what else the Senate needs in order to understand that saving our democracy is more valuable than preserving their little rules loophole created by accident, which is what the filibuster is — PolitiTweet.org

This dude is a just a collection of wet toothpicks anyway. White supremacy is for extremely fragile people &sad men like him, whose self concept relies on the myth that he was born superior because deep down he knows he couldn’t open a pickle jar or read a whole book by himself — PolitiTweet.org

People think Fox News is just about indoctrinating right-wingers, but it’s also about conditioning Dems on what to run away from. Framing racial justice as “controversial” is key to delaying the protection of voting rights (& others) until it’s too late. We shouldn’t indulge it. — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
“Woke” is a term pundits are now using as a derogatory euphemism for civil rights & justice. Making up a “woke” problem results in putting civil & voting rights on the backburner. In a year state legislatures are planning out GOP majorities & voter suppression, that’s dangerous — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
One dangerous aspect of thinking there’s a “woke problem” is that Dem chances for re-election or majorities in House, Senate, & WH rely on the racial justice issue of voting rights. Dems distancing from racial justice makes protection of voting rights less likely,ensuring losses — PolitiTweet.org

@saschasegan @ThesillyDane It was on the table - passing both this week — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
We can and should message BIF as a step, but messaging it as a solution alone is going to get us into trouble. BBB contains the majority of the presidents agenda. We must keep going and ensure the promises are delivered — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
It’s not just that we made these promises before - look at how the infra bill is being messaged *now* I respect the President and the leg feat he just accomplished. But this is simply wrong. We did not fund the replacement of every child’s pipe & we shouldn’t tell people we did https://t.co/3zpU20o6WR — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
I want to protect our party from the disappointment and collapse in turnout from communities like mine that occurs when we tell them we did things we didn’t do. We shouldn’t promise all lead pipes will be fixed if that is not the case. Some will, most won’t. We must push for BBB — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
The cost to replace every lead pipe in the United States is $45-60 billion. BIF only gives $15b. Without BBB, many communities historically denied clean water will continue to be denied. Build Back Better has lead $ for disadvantaged communities. We must keep pushing for BBB. — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
The reason platitudes like this are insulting is bc they are exclusively employed to deny the working class, poc, and youth’s basic demands for livability. Like affordable rx drugs No one says this to the safe-seat Dems who derailed climate action & healthcare over a CBO table — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
For people who say “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” to pass legislation, consider why no one tells that to the Dems who killed passage of Rx drug pricing and Universal Pre-K this week over small process demands from safe Dem seats in places like NY and Hawaii. — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
@CalderTheArtist No. The only other option is for the President to sign some climate EOs, but that neither picks the lock nor replaces the key and the option itself is uncertain- the Supreme Court is hearing cases (from WV oil!) to strip Biden’s ability to act via the EPA. https://t.co/OEzQEDJcXw — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
If BBB isn’t delivered w/ BIF’s oil & gas locked in, we’re in trouble. That is what makes it a huge gamble. So again, we need pressure to deliver the promise on BBB For anyone middle age & younger let’s hope this ain’t Kyoto all over again cause we’re going live w/ the outcome — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
The desire to pass both together isn’t the unnuanced stance some pundits think it is. BIF has a lot of bad stuff in it - that’s how they got GOP votes. It ALSO has a lot of good stuff in it- what you’re hearing on TV. Passing BBB unlocks BIF’s climate goods so the good prevails — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
On the issue of climate, think of BIF as a lock 🔐 and BBB as the key 🔑 Locks only open with keys. BIF climate benefits ONLY unlock with BBB’s 🔑 provisions. If we msg BIF as good on climate alone when it’s not, we stop the pressure for BBB’s passage. Do not let this happen — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
On Mon/Tues, we were set to pass both bills. The oil and gas lobby was working OVERTIME this week to kill the methane fees in BBB to ensure it didn’t pass with BIF So for the sake of the planet and everyone younger than a baby boomer let’s pray that leadership delivers their IOU — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
2. Political - there were many, many promises made to get to Friday’s passage. Promises from mod Dems, House leadership, and the President himself. If those promises do not get fulfilled, it will make future passage of anything much more difficult. BIF will look like a cakewalk — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
The elevated stakes are not just policy, but political. 1. Policy- Passing BIF without BBB is a huge gamble. People will point to pro-climate investments in BIF, but the oil & gas giveaways wipe out its progress to 0 or risk worse emissions. Passing BBB unlocks BIF climate perks — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
Yes. BIF+BBB are not written as 2 distinct bills, but interlocking policy. BIF’s climate benefits only unlock if BBB passes. If BBB gutted/dies, we may have just locked in US emissions &thrown away our biggest chance to combat climate change. Stakes are now higher on BBB passing — PolitiTweet.org

@ItsTanbirC @biancagguerrero The handful of NOs can in part act as an accountability mechanism. Many promises were made and pressure is now elevated to deliver on them. If promises aren’t delivered it will risk future trust breakdown & make future votes even harder. So let’s hope that’s enough stakes for BBB — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
@ItsTanbirC @biancagguerrero Methane lobby (among others I’m sure) was exerting a LOT of pressure against BBB, trying to delay + reopen for changes. I am very concerned we just locked in US emissions if BBB isn’t delivered. That said there are still incentives to pass BBB, but if gutted our future is at risk — PolitiTweet.org
