Just a casual FYI, the U.S. loses out on $1,000,000,000,000 (that's one trillion dollars) yearly in unpaid taxes mostly due to tax evasion by the wealthy and corporations.
But sure, low income people wanting groceries and healthcare is the problem.

If conservative Senate Dems institute a lower income threshold in the next round of checks, that could potentially mean the first round of checks under Trump help more people than the first round under Biden.
Do we want to do that? No? Then let’s stop playing & just help people.
Yes, Fox News. You uncovered our not-secret, very popular agenda:
✴️ $15 minimum wage & millions of new jobs
✴️ Cancel student debt & no bailouts for billionaire CEOs
✴️ Health care & affordable housing for all

In just two terms, she has become one of the most powerful voices in Congress, leading the charge for the progressive policies necessary to build the future we deserve.

It's not a worker shortage, it's a wage shortage.
It's not a worker shortage, it's a healthcare shortage.
It's not a worker shortage, it's a paid sick leave shortage.
It's not a worker shortage, it's a child care and elder care shortage.
My latest column: Three members of AOC’s socialist “squad” are facing competitive primaries against more-moderate candidates. It’s another sign that the left’s influence is waning in a Biden-led Democratic Party.

This is a win for the history books. Brandon Johnson just defeated a wave of far-right money and misinformation thanks to people power and his positive vision for a safe and thriving Chicago.

Conservative Dems just took swings at three women of color, and went zero for three.

I want to thank the people of Iowa for the very strong victory they gave us at the Iowa caucuses on Monday night.
Some 6,000 more Iowans came out to support us than any other candidate.
With eight strong candidates competing, that is a decisive margin of victory.
No matter which candidate you support or oppose, there is no place for this type of belittling, dismissive attack on their staff. We hope there will be an apology to

Last night, the House passed a $768,000,000,000 defense bill - $24 billion over what was requested and an increase from the previous year despite ending a war.
But explain how investments in paid family leave, housing, care work, and education is too much one more time.
The House voted for $2,000 checks by a two-thirds, bipartisan majority.
With just days left in this Congress, the Senate must act NOW.
Call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and demand they vote on the $2,000 direct payment legislation already passed overwhelmingly by the House.

@BernieSanders
has suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed
@JoeBiden
. But in Ohio and other remaining primary states, we believe a vote for Bernie is still the best way to build progressive power. Here's some of the reasons why:
imagine claiming we don’t have the funds to combat the climate crisis we’re already in while at the same time investing $886 billion in the Pentagon yearly.
Duvan Tomas Perez, killed working in a poultry plant.
Michael Schuls, killed working at a logging company.
Will Hampton, killed working at a landfill.
This is why child labor laws exist. Companies can't be allowed to turn to kids when adults refuse to work for poverty wages.
On the first day of Women’s History Month, let us just be clear: trans women are women.
Trans leaders like Marsha P. Johnson and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy should be honored as women activists this month just as much as white suffragettes like Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Things you can thank a union for:
-Weekends
-Breaks at work
-Paid vacation
-Minimum wage
-An 8-hour workday
-Overtime pay
-Child labor laws
-Sick leave
-Employer-based health coverage
Happy Labor Day.
do you guys ever think about how the U.S. loses out on $1,000,000,000,000 (that's one trillion) yearly in unpaid taxes mostly due to tax evasion by the wealthy and corporations and how that could be invested in public services that allow people who aren’t rich to live well

If Republicans honestly believed this they would not be preaching austerity, blocking aid to states and cities, and ensuring that we lose millions more jobs.
They took care of billionaires and they want the rest of us to suffer.
Tomorrow, Jeff Bezos is using his mass amount of wealth to launch himself into space from a base in Van Horn, Texas.
Van Horn, where 29.5% of people are living below the poverty line. Tomorrow in Van Horn, many families will struggle to put food on the table.
Tax the rich.

@AOC
is spot on.
In Democratic primaries,
@AIPAC
uses Republican dollars to attack candidates who believe in Medicare for All, universal childcare, tuition-free college, and so much more.
In general elections, it backs extremist insurrectionists who undermine our democracy.
AIPAC endorsed scores of Jan 6th insurrectionists. They are no friend to American democracy.
They are one of the more racist and bigoted PACs in Congress as well, who disproportionately target members of color.
They are an extremist organization that destabilizes US democracy.
