Play Procedural Hardball
To: Rep. Ocasio-Cortez
From: A verified voter in Jackson Heights, NY
March 18
I am writing to ask you to use all the procedural tools available to them to stall Trump and Musk’s agenda in Congress and force them to negotiate.
They are speeding our country down a dangerous path, and we cannot leave any option to slow them down on the table.
That means forcing roll call votes, using motions to recommit and filing privileged resolutions to bring tough measures to the House floor.
Beyond that, whatever time-consuming measures the rules allow should be put to work.
If you're is not willing to pull out the procedural stops at this point, when will they be prepared to do so?
Right now, Trump and Musk are attacking Medicaid and Social Security, dismantling our public services, breaking the law to steal money for billionaires and violating are basic rights.
What further line would they need to cross before you pull these weapons out of the arsenal?
I would like someone from your office to reach out and tell me, because no answer is not acceptable.
