I will not let people forget that the same Republicans who did everything in their power to make tax breaks for billionaires PERMANENT refused to even negotiate ONE YEAR of health care tax credits for working families.

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.   I don't plan to let anyone forget it.

While they try to destroy the CFPB, people have never needed it more. I just checked - complaints *doubled* in 2025 from 2.7M to 5.5M. When money gets tight, people turn to CFPB for help. We can't let them dismantle the one tool protecting families from predatory practices.

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.” wsj.com/livecoverage/v…

The Trump administration’s militarized immigration enforcement is putting innocent working people in danger. We stand in solidarity with working families in Minnesota. America’s unions have your backs, Minnesota AFL-CIO. ✊

The idea that we’re going to ruin our long standing alliances and waste billions of dollars to buy Greenland while our own people can’t afford health care or groceries is maybe the dumbest thing a president has done in the history of this country.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (@senatorbaldwin) 's Twitter Profile Photo

It could cost the U.S. $700 BILLION to buy Greenland, but there was apparently no money to keep Americans’ health care costs from skyrocketing. How about instead of picking fights with our allies, the president lowers costs for people here in America?

If Trump seizes Greenland from Denmark, does that mean that all Americans will be entitled to: Free healthcare with no deductibles? A free college education? 52 weeks of paid parental leave? 5 weeks of paid vacation? Because that’s what everyone in Denmark and Greenland has.

How could anybody - democrat, republican or independent - think that this looks normal? Images like these will be held up to future generations as an example of an authoritarian period in our history and it will be a shameful one. Deeply shameful. Video credit to Status Coup.

At the peak of the Gilded Age in 1910, the richest 0.00001% of the US population owned wealth equal to 4% of national income. Now, the richest 0.00001% owns 12%. US billionaire oligarchs today are even wealthier than the original robber barons. Source: open.substack.com/pub/gzucman/p/…

Reminder: Senate Republicans BLOCKED an extension of the ACA tax credits (again) and are letting YOUR health care premiums skyrocket.   And Trump's sorry excuse for a "plan" isn't going to change that.

“Productivity creates extra money, where is it going? You’re suppose to give some to the workers.” Hard work goes in, low pay comes out. Of course we want to be more productive but we also need to be properly compensated for the heavy productivity. If we come together, nothing

In the 20s, breaking into the electrical industry wasn’t easier for Black Americans. But Sam Taylor did it In 1922, he founded Taylor Electric—the first Black-owned construction company in Chicago and now one of the oldest IBEW signatory contractors nationwide. #BlackHistoryMonth

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details. It is the degree to which enormously wealthy and powerful people live by their own rules — and continue to get away with it. It’s a club where the rules and the law don't apply. And you’re not in it.

Chris Murphy 🟧 (@chrismurphyct) 's Twitter Profile Photo

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

We marched in the freezing cold today because young workers refuse to accept a rigged economy. Rent is out of control. Child care is unaffordable. Student debt is endless. Young workers with AFGE and all our unions are organizing for a future they can actually thrive in.
