Deleted Tweets From House Budget Dems, D-D.C.

This year, the House has passed nearly 400 bills in support of veterans, gun safety, equal pay, raising the minimum wage, lowering drug prices & more. But 80% of those bills - ½ of which are bipartisan - are stuck in the Senate. https://t.co/8bKlNdpmE7

Hearing a lot of talk about @HouseIntel's new report? Make sure to have our Impoundment Control Act explainer on hand: https://t.co/eZer8C1116

Despite President Trump’s rhetoric to put veterans first, his proposed budgets routinely attack the support vulnerable veterans rely on the most. Check out our new Medium post to learn more ➡️ https://t.co/7foPVPz2Yy

President Trump is trampling over the boundaries of executive budgetary power, but the Budget Committee isn't backing down. Here's a video with more information: https://t.co/rtdfYXHNwi https://t.co/RK8Wg5zeBa

Deferral: A deferral is withholding or delaying funds from being used. Under the ICA the President can defer funds for 3 specific reasons - NONE of which are policy reasons: https://t.co/h4KrzCyP4v https://t.co/qoK4WXvfqa

Rescission: A rescission involves the cancellation of funds previously appropriated by Congress. If the President wants to spend less than Congress provided for a particular purpose, Congress must first pass a law to *rescind* the funding: https://t.co/h4KrzCyP4v https://t.co/Clf7vBD3xb

Impoundment is divided into two categories: ✔️Rescissions ✔️Deferrals https://t.co/h4KrzCyP4v https://t.co/7AtkSfoKeC

“We un-invented a middle class nation.” Over the past 30 years, the richest 1% of Americans saw their wealth grow by nearly 300%. At the same time, the poorest 50% saw NO growth: https://t.co/wp0jfm4PUP

One of the GOP’s favorite talking points is a “booming” economy. But that’s not the reality. The #GOPTaxScam significantly worsened our fiscal shortfalls, disproportionately benefited the rich, and failed to provide any meaningful boost to our economy. https://t.co/HwAFS9JAtM

President Trump claims that the Paris Climate Accord was a “total disaster.” A total disaster is abdicating global leadership & refusing to implement fiscally responsible, climate-smart solutions: https://t.co/Fyi5rsNw4G

Despite the Trump administration’s repeated attempts to undermine the ACA, premiums for the most popular health plans will drop for the 2nd consecutive year https://t.co/iSICxjeQAc

@RepJayapal brings up a great point – making cuts to social programs (like SNAP and Medicaid) does not help during an economic downturn. These are investments that actually improve our productivity and future.

Thank you @RepHorsford. And thank you Kismet for sharing your story and reminding us what's at stake if we don't address economic inequality. #IncomeInequality #ForThePeople QT @RepHorsford: Today, my constituent Kismet Evans joined @HouseBudgetDems to talk about how income and wealth inequality negativel… https://t.co/SVtL87QgHw)

This is unacceptable executive overreach. That’s why Chairman @RepJohnYarmuth & @SenSanders sent a letter to Mick Mulvaney reminding him that the Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. https://t.co/BvdGYs2jx1 https://t.co/6hF6SHQ5gz

For 84 years, #SocialSecurity has been the foundation for Americans’ retirement security. House Budget Dems will continue working to keep our promise to our seniors and ensure that all Americans can retire with stability. https://t.co/3LdBtu16hh https://t.co/jEGLq1F81G

Following House action to #RaiseTheCaps, there is an urgent need for a bipartisan deal to move forward. Without action, programs that ensure our economic & national security will face extreme cuts. Learn more: https://t.co/LXAhEsQq6c https://t.co/z7zgJefeeS

.@AppropsDems have passed legislation to increase the maximum Pell Grant award, support special education, & maintain Head Start. While the #TrumpBudget would make college more expensive and loans more difficult to repay, Democrats support education at all levels.

.@AppropsDems's funding for VA provides $1B more than the #TrumpBudget request in order to ensure our veterans are served by modern, safe VA facilities. It's time for Congressional leaders in both chambers to protect this funding through a bipartisan agreement to #RaiseTheCaps.
