Watching @maggiedaunshow.bsky.social spit fire about the tax situation in our country. 1.9% corp tax rate is criminal. Couldn’t agree more, that’s why I want to work on it in Congress!

Hey! I got a shout out on The Majority Report yesterday. @majorityreport.bsky.social I'd love to talk to you about the campaign of community action I kicked off just about 2 weeks ago.

Big ask! Help me bring more attention to my campaign: Share my recent posts and ask folks to check me out/follow me- I need support and to extend my reach. Let folks know that I am fighting NOW against losing our rights, with an eye on future policy for an America that works for us for once.

The 0.1% would reaaaally hate my tax plan. I want you to pay less in income tax and for them to pay more through an “asset growth” tax on their net worth increase from year to year - bc they use their NW to borrow money and avoid taxation. www.laurabenjaminforcongress.com/priorities/t...

Gross. Pay-to-play leadership has no place in our society. Leaders should meet freely with the people they represent, not the highest bidder. And this kind of thing has to be punished if people like us will ever trust government again: www.laurabenjaminforcongress.com/priorities/r...

It was surprising to see #ChronoTrigger trending today. Listen, a remake will probably be fine. But the original is still, and prob always will be, my favorite game ever. It's a story of a group of kids who rise to the challenge of making a better world. It's a story of hope - and so much more...

This is massively dangerous. An attempt by the Executive branch to seize control of part of the Judicial branch can’t be ignored. Literally unconstitutional. These men are attempting to shred our foundational social contract every day.

Thank you for this. It means so much to hear from you that what I’m doing is making a difference. The more people we have standing together, the more they will have to listen to us. (PS don’t be a stranger IRL, I would love to meet you at a rally!)

Can’t have two tier justice if we’re going to have a fair republic. Need to hold the wealthy to the same standard as the rest of us.

Now that reports of shortages are starting to get more attention, of course we learn that they use advance info to act in self interests instead of looking for ways to make sure Americans don’t suffer shortages. The selfishness of these people, elected to serve the public good, knows no bounds.

The government is there to serve country and follow the constitution, not the dictations of any president. I’m sorry for all the civil servants who have now lost their jobs simply for *doing them.* We can’t let this become business as usual. Keep the pressure on.
