@HouseBlueDogs
The Blue Dog Coalition is made up of House Dems focused on fiscal responsibility, a strong national defense, and transcending party lines to get things done.
- this ain’t it chiefsBREAKING: MODERATE DEMOCRATS say they'd help @SpeakerJohnson keep his job if conservatives try to oust him “Yes, we would back him,” said one senior moderate House Democrat who has been speaking with colleagues in his party. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

- We should immediately freeze the $6 billion in Iranian assets currently under scrutiny and consider the full range of financial responses available to us. Money is fungible, and there is a well-documented history of Iran funding Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups.
- NEWS: We've inducted 7 members-elect to @HouseBlueDogs who are dedicated to fiscally responsibility, a strong national defense, & bipartisanship. Congratulations to Anthony Brindisi, Ben McAdams, Max Rose, Mikie Sherrill, Abigail Spanberger, Xochitl Torres Small, & Jeff Van Drew!
- NEWS: The House just passed a measure to restore the bipartisan PAYGO rules. Restoring these rules is the right thing to do to ensure that our nation does not go more deeply into debt and our children and grandchildren are not saddled with this burden for generations to come.
- 2023 was a big year for us 🐶 we chose 3 new co-chairs, gained new members, and served as a voice for the rural places, working families, tradespeople, & fishermen we represent we focused on our districts and stood up to House leaders who tossed bipartisanship aside a recap 🧵time to do some tweeting before this site caves in on itself 🐟🌲🦞
- we would very much like to be excluded from your narrative, one that we have never asked to be a part ofHow could it be that the Democratic Party I grew up with—the Blue Dog Democrats who believed in hard work, the middle class, family, and standing up against the war machine—has turned into this? I declared my independence this year because I refuse to support a party that flies

- Strong sock game, Mr. President-Elect.George H.W. Bush was known for his socks, maybe Biden will be too? Today he wore dark blue socks adorned with lighter blue dogs. (Yes, there are plenty of more substantive things to tweet about but we can have some fun sometimes too.)
- Our members have changed over the years—but our mission is the same. The Blue Dogs remain focused on bipartisan solutions, fiscal responsibility, and national security. We're proud to be a voice of pragmatism and thoughtful leadership.
- nah, we’ll be the votes that take the gavel away from Mike Johnson, just like we took it away from Kevin McCarthy
- Replying to @HouseBlueDogsThe concept of PAYGO is simple: Congress needs to pay for things. It prevents us from forcing our children and grandchildren to bear the burden of paying for the programs we like today. The least we can do to prevent our debt from getting worse is to abide by these rules.
- Thanks, @SecretaryPete, for meeting w/ us to discuss how we can deliver results for our nation's infrastructure. From cities to rural areas, we must make necessary investments to create good-paying jobs and build a 21st-century economy. We're glad to work w/ you to get this done.
