Did you know Biden just cut the deficit by the largest amount in history?
Did you know that 25% of all the national debt ever accrued in American history was added under Trump?
But somehow Republicans only care about the debt when a Democrat is president.

Today, the is bringing a bill to the floor to "denounce socialism in all it's forms". Let's unpack that: a bunch of people who have a taxpayer-funded job, many of whom have never worked a day in the private sector are denouncing socialism. Riiiiight. Brief thread:

The Chair of the House Judiciary Committee plotted to overthrow the government with Donald Trump. He defied a lawful congressional subpoena from the Jan 6th committee and now seeks to use his power to obstruct justice. This is corruption of the highest caliber.

Not finding or funding candidates in “unwinnable” races is exactly why we can’t win. It’s a long game. Rural candidates act as organizers. They set up the next serve—eventually we win. #NoSeatUncontested

Extremist politicians are eying cuts to Social Security under the guise of reducing the deficit—even though, by law, the program adds $0 to our national debt. I used my whiteboard to call out this dangerous lie and stand up for the millions of Americans who rely on the program.

Want to negotiate on the budget...okay...let's start by removing the maximum salary limit subject to the 6.2% social security tax workers pay. This year the limit is $160,200 and every $ above that is not subject to the tax. Someone making 500k only pays on the first 160k.

The #FBI has identified many people who incited violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, but it still needs your help to bring others to justice. If the man in this photo looks familiar, submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI, and mention photo 269-AFO.

It will likely get little to no attention today that the current front runner for the Republican presidential nomination just told his supporters to start arming themselves for a civil war to overthrow the government in the case he loses.
Just Trump being Trump! So quirky!

This is what Fascism looks like today. An allegiance to violence over country. This is a declaration of war on the American people. They don't care how many children die. They only care about power.

Microchips aren’t in Covid vaccines. The government isn’t coming for your guns. The border isn’t wide open. The elections weren't rigged. Biden isn’t a communist. Schools aren’t grooming kids. Babies aren’t being murdered after they’re born.
Why do Republicans lie so much?

I should tell the whole story of the high school bully that became a cop. Before he slashed my tires, we had a history. I was a band geek, and he was the cool kid that drove a hot rod and peeled out of the parking lot every day just so people could see how cool he was...

So, if your picture of the economy came entirely from headlines and cable chyrons — which is probably true for many — would you know that the economy has grown 6.7 percent under Biden so far and inflation for the past 6 months was 1.9 percent? 1/

The real issue here is that our criminal justice system, more than 2 years out, has failed to hold Trump accountable. It does takes time to build a successful prosecution, but we are running out of it. As Meta's decision shows, the clock is ticking.
