Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. "You re on," agreed Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. The two lawmakers who have often been at odds found common ground in a place that often highlights polarizing opinions: Twitter. That s where Cruz and Ocasio-Cortez vowed to set aside their differences and work on new lobbying restrictions for lawmakers. Now an unlikely coalition is forming around their joint effort. It started when Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday morning that members of Congress shouldn t be allowed to become corporate lobbyists. "At minimum there should be a long wait period," she wrote. Ocasio-Cortez cited a statistic from Public Citizen, in which the advocacy group reported that among former Congress members who move to jobs outside of politics, nearly 60% start lobbying or otherwise influencing federal policy."
