People are suffering because politicians are more afraid of offending their colleagues than fighting for people. It's nefarious because even good hearted progressives don't want to upset their coworkers. The courage to face that fear and discomfort is what we need more of.https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1081341604374425601 …

Trump is, as we speak, telling a series of easily refutable, xenophobic lies to the American people. That does not seem to make people in the elite press as angry as calling him a motherfucker does. I do not understand that hierarchy of values.

why the fuck are reporters asking lawmakers about an adult using a curse word

Absolutely right. This is bad policy and bad politics. I can't find a single person making an argument FOR keeping PAYGO in. The best I've seen is folks saying leadership will commit to waiving it on progressive bills. In that case, why have the rule?https://twitter.com/RoKhanna/status/1080561684278902784 …

This is remarkably disingenuous. No PAYGO point of order does not mean Democrats suddenly don't have the ability to put in funding mechanisms.https://twitter.com/Drew_Hammill/status/1080495134742138885 …

Also worth noting how
#PAYGO has already hurt us in past. ACA passed in 2010, but exchanges with subsidies only went live in 2014 because of PAYGO. This meant the ACA's benefits did not sink in until 2014, giving Republicans ammo to attack it. This is bad policy AND politics.Show this threadThanks.

This freshman class was elected to bring fresh ideas and propose bold solutions. Hamstringing these ideas on day 1 shows a profound lack of understanding of what the American people are calling for right now.

The only reason for
#PAYGO to exist is to stop even the consideration of progressive legislation. You'd think that with the Democrats in the House but not the Senate, now would be the time for debate and consideration of new, bold ideas to solve health care/debt/climate crisis.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1080492088356159489 …Show this threadThanks.

We make a mistake when we think of climate change as one of many political issues. It isn’t. It’s the whole thing. Our planet is our only home. If we don’t limit further harm, alter our behavior and develop resilience as the climate changes, we doom our species.

Sen. McCaskill is right that "parts of the country are rejecting the Democratic Party." She should reflect on why the state she represented is one of those parts while the people there vote for progressive issues. Maybe it's because the Democratic Party has failed to deliver?https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1079083478510116869 …

The notion of living in two worlds was always, from the beginning, part of
@Ocasio2018’s story. That perspective can offer insights into both worlds not visible when you only live in one. Read any profile from before the primary and you’ll see she leaned into thathttps://twitter.com/ocasio2018/status/1078798231734312966 …Show this threadThanks.

We’ve so successfully moved the Overton Window on climate policy toward the Green New Deal that the carbon tax is now the mainstream Republican position.https://twitter.com/JohnCornyn/status/1077930336200417283 …

Another must-read by
@VinGuptaMD “In purely economic terms, health consequences dwarf the other effects of climate change in sheer cost to the US, estimated at $141 billion due to heat-related deaths alone by 2100” We must act on both fronts#PrimaryHealthCare#ClimateActionhttps://twitter.com/VinGuptaMD/status/1076517192152305664 …Thanks.

“Party Unity” shouldn’t refer to quieting down progressives in the face of injustice. We shouldn’t punish reps like
@RoKhanna for supporting the#GreenNewDeal. Unity should refer to our supporting one another despite our differences. That includes the rural broadband initiative.https://twitter.com/RoKhanna/status/1076274455486386176 …Thanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
