      Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley Retweeted Rep. Pramila Jayapal

      I was sent to Congress to be bold, unbought and unbossed. Today, I’m proud to cosponsor legislation to finally address a real problem that has stalled the progressive agenda. More robust than a rule, this bill will get to the heart of disparities promulgated by the #PAYGO statutehttps://twitter.com/RepJayapal/status/1081396191441707009 …

      Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley added,

          Why not vote no on the rules because of Paygo AND introduce the legislation? Messaging and symbolism are critical . This is really deflating right out of the gate .

          So there are two different things called PAYGO. What they are repealing is the 2010 legislation. The other day was a rule which was used to negotiate conscessions like Medicaid for all hearing, 40% of committee positions for the progressive caucus and more. This is big.

          Finally, an explanation! I appreciate the response, Anoa! I still don't understand why @AOC and @RoKhanna voted against what the rest voted for.

          Inside outside strategy is the best way I can see this. also folks should look at past votes on the senate side to see who voted for the 2010 legislation and the senate version of the rule.

          Don’t congratulate her for breaking ranks with Alexandria & Ro, for a seat at the table with Nancy.

          Shaun, how can you say that? She voted 4 #PayGo several days ago when 18 votes would kill it. This bill she touts needs 218 votes to kill #PayGo & it will not pass, killing #GreenNewDeal and #MedicareForAll This bill is #windowdressing & an attempt for her to save face.

          Stop. You’re both losing credibility when you don’t take responsibility and own the Yes vote one day earlier. It was neither bold or great work.

          Yeah it's actually really half assed work after doing really terrible and thoughtless work. So I hope you're being sarcastic.

          You seem easy to please. Let's tie progressive hands with an absurd rule that could have been waived, then pretend to do something about it, when we know it'll never get through the Senate. Shaun: Great work.
