A big potential sticking point in the approps bills moving forward post topline deal is the riders question... It is incredibly important to hold the line and keep poison pill riders out of the spending bills! #nopoisonpills #cleanbudget
Spending bills drafted by House Republicans contain more than 560 poison pill riders – many of them culture war provisions that attack women, immigrants, people of color, and LGBTQ Americans. Toxic measures like these have no place in the annual spending bills.

Check out my new @Medium piece on the threat of poison pill riders being attached to appropriations bills. It takes a look at some of the corporate and big money in politics behind the riders... #cleanbudget #noriders @OMBPress
NEW: Must-pass spending bills should not be vehicles for corrupt paybacks to Big Business and ideological extremists, but that’s exactly what they’re becoming under the House majority. These poison pills attack women’s health, harm consumers, spread disinformation, and more.

5. But not paying our bills is not an option. Consider the 14th amendment as an off ramp, consider the discharge petition for a clean debt increase, and stay tough in the room. @goodregs #cleanbudget @Public_Citizen @RepJayapal

Congress should pass a #cleanbudget by the new funding deadline of December 23. Dozens of harmful legacy riders that attack abortion rights, fuel corruption, harm our environment, and more need to be removed from the final package.

After passing a one-week stopgap funding bill, Congress should finish appropriating and pass a #cleanbudget. It's the only way agencies will get adequate funding and the only way so many harmful legacy riders can be removed. politico.com/news/2022/12/14…

We finally have a framework for an omnibus. Let's hope it's a good one that fully invests in our communities. Let's also hope the legacy riders that attack abortion rights, fuel corruption, and harm our environment come out. The public deserves a #cleanbudget.
NEW: Chair @rosadelauro on the 2023 appropriations framework agreement reached this evening: "We have a framework that provides a path forward to enact an omnibus next week...the House and Senate Appropriations Committees will work around the clock to negotiate the details."

Burning forests for fuel is not “carbon neutral”! 100 groups urge Congress to ditch the #DirtyBiomass rider and pass a #cleanbudget now! Read the letter here: pfpi.net/groups-call-on-cong…

A year-long CR would be disastrous. Not only would this foreclose any chance to remove legacy riders... It would underfund dozens of agencies throughout our government at a time of record inflation. Congress needs to finish appropriating and pass a #cleanbudget this month.

The Hyde Amendment and its siblings illustrate the danger of allowing poison pill riders to fester for decades. Lawmakers should not allow this pattern to continue and spread to other issue areas. Congress should pass a #cleanbudget. bit.ly/3UgCePI

There will never be an easy or convenient time to fight for a #cleanbudget. But a trifecta, even a narrow one, is a good moment for the majority to win the fight for a spending package free from legacy riders that harm the public. bit.ly/3UgCePI

The budget should fund public services and invest in an ethical government, without lawmakers sneaking in riders that go against the public interest--like poison pills that block campaign finance disclosure. We need a #cleanbudget. thehill.com/blogs/congress-b…

Spending bills should provide ample funding for the programs and services we all count on. Lawmakers in both parties agree: Poison pill riders are a distraction from that goal. Let’s hold them to it, remove all the legacy riders, and pass a #cleanbudget. bit.ly/3UgCePI

Appropriations bills released by the majority in both chambers took the key first step of removing most legacy poison pill riders. Now it’s up to Democratic leaders to remain firm in final negotiations and keep them out of the final deal. #cleanbudget bit.ly/3UgCePI

.@POTUS and @OMBPress need to lead the fight for a #cleanbudget in the next few weeks. Dozens of legacy riders harming everything from abortion rights to campaign finance to our environment must be removed from the annual spending package. bit.ly/3UgCePI

In September, 42 House Republicans and 10 Senate Republicans sent a letter opposing poison pill policy riders. If they actually believe this, it is deeply hypocritical for them to defend legacy poison pills in the upcoming spending package. #cleanbudget bit.ly/3UgCePI
