We have worked hard to rebuild trust on our presidential process. Rules and Bylaws Cttee working with early states on rules. A key rule change ends superdelegates voting 1st round absent consensus candidate BUT elected officials can still be PLEOs & not run against constituents. 
The PLEO Party Leader Elected Official designation is for pledged delegates who are Members of Congress Governors etc who want a first round #DNC convention vote but don’t want to run against activist to get there.

This link contains a complex but important, scathing dismantling of the core of the #GOPTaxBill by NYU Taxation Law Professor @DanielShaviro - how it made our tax system “less efficient, less fair and more complex.” —> danshaviro.blogspot.com/2018/03/anothe…
Here’s where he reminds us how certain Senators seemed to suddenly back the #GOPTaxBill when provisions that helped them personally were added. #CorkerKickback
Here’s where he points out that certain “business owners” in “favored sectors” will enjoy lower tax rates than their own employees.
Every Republican who votes for the #GOPTaxBill should be asked these 5 questions by every journalist and constituent:
1. What is your net worth?
2. How much do you personally stand to gain financially from the bill?
3. Did you vote for the bill at the urging of your donors?
1. What is your net worth?
2. How much do you personally stand to gain financially from the bill?
3. Did you vote for the bill at the urging of your donors?
4. How much will the average person in your district (or State if they’re a Senator) see in temporary tax relief?
5. Will you vote to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to cure the deficits this bill creates, as Paul Ryan and others have indicated they plan to do?
5. Will you vote to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to cure the deficits this bill creates, as Paul Ryan and others have indicated they plan to do?
And then the journalists should fact check the answers, especially 1, 2 and 4.

Until we see what the @SenateGOP’s midnight rewrite looks like, let’s go over what we know the #GOPTaxScam does so far: [thread]
In my home state of New York and across the US, Americans will feel the repeal of the state and local deduction (SALT) which currently prevents double taxation.
The #GOPTaxBill opens up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -America’s most pristine wilderness- to drilling, a move opposed by most Americans and by tribal leaders. nativenewsonline.net/currents/tribe…
The GOP is pushing their #GOPTaxBill for their billionaire donors, but can only get enough R votes if the bill includes a backstop … that the billionaires don’t want? Mini-thread/
2/ Yesterday, it was reported that the #GOPTaxBill passed through the Senate Budget Committee only because GOP leaders agreed to some form of a backstop, or trigger.
3/ Basically, if the tax cuts don’t create the revenue and grow the economy the way the GOP says it will (and almost no economist thinks it will), the backstop would kick in and reverse the tax cuts.
1/ #GOPTaxBill passage will create a shift in the social safety net as we have known it, and it will signal a change that government will no longer care for the needs of the poor — the criteria that the biblical prophets demand of all those who rule. sojo.net/articles/great…
2/ 91% of Congress members claim to be Christian. We'll be tweeting out some of the more than #2000verses in Scripture that reference justice & treatment of the poor. Retweet these to your senators to remind them. List of senators' handles here: twitter.com/cspan/lists/se…
