The Members of the self-styled Freedom caucus have announced their refusal to support the plan that their own leadership has put forward.

I’m afraid of what they would offer as an alternative, because the #budget being considered is a far cry from what American families need.

At its most fundamental level, a #budget is two things: a guiding document, and a statement of values.

.@HouseGOP's #budget is a guiding document to an America bereft of opportunity for those who’ve worked, or studied, or fought for it.

I'm here to support a plan that helps the American people get ahead. A plan that support those who work hard and play by the rules.

.@USProgressives budget #PeoplesBudget, seeks to give every day Americans the opportunities they’ve asked for.

.@USProgressives budget would invest in our schools, our roads, our bridges, our workers, and our environment. #PeoplesBudget
