The bottom line is you can’t talk about demanding the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and then give large tax breaks to millionaires. It’s just too much hypocrisy.

this is a must watch and retweet

“We will be conducting multiple weeks of public hearing setting out for the American people exactly what happened on January 6 here at the capitol and at the White House.” 250 witnesses are cooperating. They are piecing Jan. 6 together, minute by minute. It's gonna be good.

Are you paying attention?

While SCOTUS has allowed challenges to SB 8 to proceed, it's outrageous that the Court has again decided not to block Texas' unconstitutional abortion ban. More Texans are harmed every day this law is allowed to stand. The Senate must pass the Women's Health Protection Act.

A consummate professional. A calming presence amongst paid provocateurs. A good man and a great journalist. He will be missed.

Brian Williams’ final sign-off, after 28 years on NBC, is worth your time.

It is a complete dereliction of duty that none of the major newspapers did a single story on the fact that the Trump White House put together a PowerPoint on how to end democracy.

The most valuable tool we have to lower the costs of prescription drugs, child care, and health care for families is my Build Back Better Act. It’s fully paid for, will not increase the deficit, and won’t raise the taxes by one penny for anyone making less than $400,000 a year.

About 70% of Americans want #RoeVWade to remain the law of the land, but this radical Supreme Court is ready to pitch it overboard next year. This should be a wake-up call for millions across the country. We need to rebalance the Supreme Court and protect abortion rights.

Let us not return to what was normal, but reach toward what is next.

A year ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene was telling Trump supporters to come to the Capitol on January 6th. We must hold her accountable.

In their own words…

Remember what Republican leaders said before amnesia set in. I took notes that night: Mitch McConnell (Jan6): "The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people...They tried to disrupt our democracy, they failed…This failed insurrection.” THREAD

Senator McConnell: “Former President Trump’s actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. There’s no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.”

These are their words from a year ago. Let’s not let them forget. If you know of other notable statements, reply below. END

Illinois used to be known for kicking the can down the road, but today we’re restoring fiscal stability. 
Paying back this loan ahead of schedule achieves a level of fiscal prudence not seen in our state for decades - saving millions of taxpayer dollars along the way.

BREAKING: A one-year-old child accidentally shoots their three-month-old sibling and mother at a Walmart in Texas after finding a gun concealed beneath the seat of the family vehicle. RT IF YOU THINK THIS MADNESS MUST BE STOPPED WITH NEW GUN LAWS!

Jan. 5 was democracy at its finest. Jan. 6 showed democracy in peril. Let me be clear: Insurrectionists did not and will never erase the voices of 2.3 million Georgians, a majority being voters of color, who exercised their power and delivered progress in the face of darkness.
