      .@RepJayapal and I have been concerned about #PAYGO for months, and have had numerous conversations with Rules Chairman @RepMcGovern and House leadership about these concerns. We all agree that the real problem with #PAYGO exists in the statute that requires it.

      That is why we will be introducing legislation in the 116th Congress to end #PAYGO. In the meantime, @RepMcGovern and House Leadership have committed to us that #PAYGO will not be an impediment to advancing key progressive priorities in the 116th Congress.

          Dear @deanbphillips: as your constituent, and someone who voted for you, I'm asking you to please join your colleagues in ending #PAYGO. Austerity policies have devastated the poor and middle class. And #PAYGO is an austerity policy. A Republican policy. Thank you!

          Dear @IndivisibleMN03: please join us in opposing #PAYGO. It will weaken the new house majority considerably and help continue austerity policies that have hurt the poor and middle class badly. Thanks.

          And you're naive enough to believe them? Shame on you @repmarkpocan. I thought you were better than this. Leadership has committed to you that #PayGo won't be an impediment to progressive priorities. And you believe it. Remember the date. 1/2/19.

          But we've heard this kind of banter for 40 years and everytime the end result is the country is pulled further to the right and people get less & less while working more & more hours! WHEN DO THE PEOPLE GET A VOICE? WASHINGTON IS DEAF TO CONSTITUENTS!

          Getting money out of politics is the only answer. As long as politicians spend 6 hrs/day fund raising the voices of donors are louder than we the people.

          We didn’t donate & volunteer so you can play politely with Pelosi. Vote No on PayGo if you truly champion a Progressive Agenda. #youreitherwithusoragainstus

          It's like we can't even elect Progressives without them caving to the Neoliberals the moment they get sworn in. They're all out to fuck us. I feel like I'm living in upside-down world where absolutely nothing is ever as is appears. A big fun-house illusion.

          My humble opinion is that we not trust anyone automatically, look at policies and voting records (if they exist) for all political candidates at any level. Just my two cents that you didn’t ask for! 😹🌺
