  “…We need to watch closely tomorrow and see who votes with Ro Khanna against PAY-GO and who backs this rule that would essentially kill almost any progressive agenda. This would be a good time to call progressives you know in Congress and have a talk with them…”
  
  ”…Looks like tomorrow– when the House votes on PayGo (part of the Rules package)– we find out if we elected any real progressive freshmen or not (aside from AOC, who already announced she’s voting NO). We need less than 20 NO votes. It shouldn’t be THAT hard, should it?…”
  
  “…House Democrats This is unreal. DO NOT VOTE FOR PAYGO. Know what you are doing!! Do not listen to Whip Hoyer… this is HORRIBLE policy. It will hamstring so many needed efforts. Say NO To PAYGO!…”
  
  “…Progressives need to make some noise on this today or we’re going to get royally screwed by Pelosi and Hoyer tomorrow…”
  
  Tomorrow I will also vote No on the rules package, which is trying to slip in #PAYGO.
  
  PAYGO isn’t only bad economics, as @RoKhanna explains; it’s also a dark political maneuver designed to hamstring progress on healthcare+other leg.
  
  We shouldn’t hinder ourselves from the start. https://t.co/WW3UaBs7vh

  Robert Reich: Message to House Dems: DO NOT vote for PAYGO in the rules package……
  
  “….It’s a brainless Republican idea that tax cuts or mandatory spending increases must be offset by tax increases or mandatory spending cuts. Totally disables fiscal policy…”

  I suppose we will find out if it is enough very soon. I refuse to join the cynics here and say the outcome is pre-ordained, but that doesn’t make them wrong until they are.

  Just sent an email to my rep. For whatever good it will do. I don’t expect much.

  More like 17 or 18, and even that may not be enough.
  
  Pelosi can get Republican support.
