BOTH parties joined President Biden Biden to BLOCK a rail strike and force the workers back to work with NO paid sick time.
The whole time, Union Pacific was spending more on stock buybacks than workers.
Is that "an economy that works for workers?"🤔

“Spending billions on a flat tax isn’t a workforce plan or an economic development plan."
is right. A flat tax is an excuse to nickel-and-dime working people while giving millionaires and billionaires a tax cut.

Yesterday the Senate held a hearing about Ticketmaster’s monopoly power, prompted in part by the platform’s mishandling of a Taylor Swift concert. So today the billionaire owned Bloomberg and Washington Post lashed out at Taylor Swift.

Corporate politicians think the Pentagon budget is more important than YOUR #Medicare coverage or social security check.
In what world is THAT "America First"? 🤔

It was really funny when it turned out all the "celebrities" endorsing apes were all part of the same talent agency that also invested in the apes and made it mandatory for their clients to promote them

The most important race in 2023 is in #Wisconsin.
Who sits in our state's Supreme Court could determine everything - from abortion rights to workers' rights to democracy itself.
There's no time to waste.

There's nothing "America First" about slashing hard-earned benefits for seniors.
Quote Tweet
Medicare & Social Security are non-negotiable.
Americans work hard & contribute to these programs with every paycheck.
Republicans raised the debt ceiling 3x under Trump.
Risking default or robbing seniors of hard earned benefits are not options.

Biden pushed Social Security cuts.
He spent many years touting himself as a courageous Dem who'd cut a deal with the GOP for "entitlement reform" (Orwellian phrase).
He's promised he won't do the same as president.
We're about to see if that's true.

I saved for months for that concert in the height of the pandemic and this experience genuinely made me not buy tickets to numerous concerts because I know there’s literally no penalty if it doesn’t happen. This crap is hurting artists too.

Fun fact I still haven't gotten a refund from the time the Justin Bieber concert was cancelled in Milwaukee and I don't get one until he SCHEDULES A NEW CONCERT so is allowed to just literally hold my money ransom til he's on tour.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. While I agree with Trump on virtually nothing, he is right to say: “Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security.” Let's raise taxes on billionaires, not cut retirement benefits.

The GOP just proposed new restrictions on the types of food eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits, putting even more pressure on families with children.
In addition, they would aim to keep families with more than one vehicle from receiving help.

The GOP war on workers continues just across the Mississippi River.
The "PARTY OF FREEDOM🇺🇸🦅" is telling low-income families they can't have...*checks notes*...sliced cheese or fresh meat.
What part of late stage capitalism is it when meat and American cheese is a luxury?

The new moral panic is "GAS STOVES."
It may seem random, but it isn't an accident: this is a decades-long tactic of the fossil fuel industry to push - and greenwash - "Natural Gas" in America.
It's YET ANOTHER example of big money buying the debate.

Here's the GOP Governor of Florida trying to create a state database of queer people for I'm sure no reason whatsoever. 🙄
Next time you're paying your rent/mortgage, heat, or groceries, remember that Ron DeSantis is TIRELESSLY FIGHTING...queer people.

What's "radical" is allowing thousands of Americans to die EVERY YEAR without insurance - while thousands more fall into medical debt or even medical bankruptcy.
It's a uniquely American travesty.
This is not radical. It's time for #MedicareForAll.

The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, is trying to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.
So the eight biggest unions across the country called a massive wave of strikes and protests today, with over 200 actions across the country.

Fair maps are not “running wild.”
Allowing a political minority in the state to draw maps that artificially give them almost a SUPERMAJORITY? That’s “running wild.”
We don’t do hypocrisy here. This isn’t radical. This is common sense stuff.

If Scott Walker is this upset, you KNOW we struck a nerve.
Support grassroots organizing and let’s keep anti-worker ghouls like Scott Walker, Dan Kelly, and Jennifer Dorow AWAY from our justice system FOR GOOD.

Nice try Scott. Your party took policy decisions out of the hands of Wisconsinites when you let politicians choose their voters, not the other way around.
Gerrymandering is a crisis of democracy. We’re not taking it anymore. #WIPolitics
