Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

I don’t want to go to lunch with friends today. leaving the house, talking to people, being social—It’s too exhausting. I’m so exhausted I want to cry. Everyone who says being with friends is the best thing for mental health don’t know how exhausting it is. iykyk #selfcare #socialphobia #introvert

In the Senate, I proposed blocking tax breaks for people who make over $10 million a year. Every Republican voted no. Republicans then refused to rule out tax breaks for people who make over $100 million. And $500 million. Is ANYONE too rich to get a giveaway from the GOP?

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Covid was the biggest transfer of power from bosses to workers in 75 years and billionaires were so angry at this they demanded governments inflict 'pain' on the economy to punish 'arrogant' workers and it's amazing how so little analysis of the last 5 years includes this. Listen to this asshole:

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

1 in 5 Americans DEPEND on Medicaid. I depend on the program as do millions of others of people with disabilities, seniors, children, low-income and many vulnerable populations. Any major cuts to the program would be devastating and catastrophic. www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

JPMORGAN: “.. the term ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ has appeared in more than 20 New York Times articles in the last two days alone. This attention level gives the impression that spending cuts, either realized or imminent, are dramatic. The reality so far is more mundane.”

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Look at the graph on the left. It seems like the US debt is spiraling out of control But look at the graph on the right. As GDP increases so does our ability to pay debt. Austerity increases unemployment and income inequality and decreases growth. Now is not the time for austerity.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
