    A horrific tragedy. My heart is with the community in Boulder and families of the victims of this senseless act of gun violence. We can - we need to - end this.

    UPDATE: At least 6 dead in King Soopers shooting, including 1 Boulder police officer

    Republicans do like it. The American Rescue Plan is supported by the majority of Republicans. Congressional Republicans don't like that Why? I can eat an entire large vegan pizza I can sing all the lyrics to most 80s TV shoes I can out pun 99 US Senators But I can't answer that

    Virginia was in this situation & voters voted out leaders preventing expansion & hundreds of thousands of people got health coverage; lives were saved; and sick people getting healthy actually ADDED TO the strength of their economy. Please don't give up working for change in TN.

    Our TN governor refuses to expand Medicaid. Advice? (Besides moving)

    Agree! Now let’s make the expanded CTC & EITC permanent.

    So so much more would get done that the MAJORITY of Americans - Republican, Democratic and Independents - agree with: From a minimum wage increase to common sense universal gun background checks to giving DREAMERS a pathway to full citizenship.

    The IRS will use your 2020 tax return or the most recent one they have on file. Payments have already started going out, so if you haven’t filed your 2020 taxes they will use the 2019 taxes. You can see the status of your EIP here:

    Replying to @CoryBooker
    Thanks for doing this. My question is: when will they start using our income tax returns for 2020 to determine our eligibility? We were over the limit for 2019 but everything changed in our income for 2020 and we are more than eligible to receive help now.

    The American Rescue Plan directed the Treasury Department to start the periodic payments of the CTC in July -- I’ll be working with the Treasury Department to make those payments monthly

    The loss of our SALT deductions was used to pay for Trump's awful tax cut for the wealthy. It punished states that send more in taxes than they receive in investments in their state. Senator Menendez & I are committed to lifting this unfair cap on NJyans:

    Replying to @CoryBooker
    When will we see a repeal of the SALT deduction cap from the 2017 GOP/Trump tax law? It's killing NJ residents and we're now sending even more money to moocher red states than before.

    For those who lost their job & want to stay on their health plan, the ARPA fully subsidizes COBRA premiums through Sept. 2021. Federal agencies will soon be providing guidance on implementing this provision—in the meantime, visit this site for more info:

    • Eliminating the upper age limit on the credit, allowing qualifying childless workers who are age 65 & above to benefit. • Increasing the amount of the childless EITC by doubling the phase-in & phase-out percentages, increasing both the earned income & phase-out amounts

    Thank you for your work & care for your clients. This plan will expand the EITC for taxpayers with no qualifying children by: • Almost tripling the max credit in 2021 • Reducing the min age to claim the credit for these workers from 25 to 19 (except for full-time students)

    Hi, Senator Booker! I'm a tax preparer in Indiana and most of my clients are poor/lower income working families who rely on Earned Income Credit at tax time. I've had lots of questions about the changes to that in the ARP. Can you talk a bit about it?

    If you never received your 1st or 2nd payment, you can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit when you file your 2020 tax return. For more info on how to claim your prior payment, visit:

    Sorry I'm fuming on this. I have a burning question - I wasn't too "flame-ous" when I played at Standord but... When was the PAC-12 not on fire. We just keep taking things to new "farenheits."

    Pac-12 still on fire.
