All together, the nine billionaires tapped by Trump to serve in his administration are worth at least $340 billion – higher than the GDP of 172 countries. Why any working person in America would ever think Trump or his administration is looking out for your interests is a mystery. #ResistTrump

Great to see Knoxville standing up and speaking out against @GovBillLee and the supermajority’s #VoucherScam that defunds our kid’s schools. We need to show up in big numbers to stop this scam. Please join your friends and neighbors December 16 for this action!

Parent’s choice is a lie. The private school chooses which child they will take, they can refuse any child they like. Public tax dollars should not fund private schools that discriminate in which children they select. The Gov and supermajority need to stop lying to TN families.
President @realdonaldtrump has long believed that parents should be empowered with school choice to pick the right school for their child. It’s time for TN to follow his lead & pass the Education Freedom Act to deliver opportunity for students across the state.

If you rely on Social Security, know this: Donald Trump proposed cutting Social Security and Medicare EVERY single year he was president, and we expect the same in his second term. Democrats will fight back against these attempts and work to protect these essential programs.

Amazon’s worker injury rate is the highest in the industry (3x higher than Walmart!). Trump 2 is just going to be a grift to hurt workers and make the Mar a Lago crowd even stinkier rich.
Scooplet: Heather McDougall, former Amazon VP of health & safety is among candidates under consideration by Trump transition to lead OSHA. Under her watch Amazon faced outcry from unions and labor advocates for high injury rates & covid-19 response.

At this moment, Democrats must stand in the breach to defend the rule of law and our constitutional democracy. That is our historic assignment now, and it's why I'm seeking the Ranking Membership of the House Judiciary Committee. cnsmaryland.org/2024/12/06/a…

Put plainly, tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy only benefit the ultra-wealthy. We know this. And we know extending Trump's tax scam would add $4.6 trillion to the deficit, slow economic growth, and result in fewer jobs. Pay attention, people. budget.senate.gov/chairman/n…

For 89 years, Social Security has never missed a payment—even during wars and recessions. Each generation has paid into the system. Let’s expand benefits for current and future generations!

Maddow on botched Gaetz nomination: To add insult to injury, House Republicans still had to vote to keep secret the Ethics Committee findings in their investigation of the child sex trafficking allegations against Matt Gaetz.

Every American deserves the peace of mind that comes with affordable, high-quality health insurance. Thanks to President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, millions of Americans are saving an average of $800 per year on health care premiums.

Let's tax the rich - that's how you can actually "make America great again." The massive inequality we see in this country began to explode over decades of handing out tax giveaways to the wealthiest in our society. #TaxTheRich

We love it when Republicans steal our good ideas to help everyday families like cutting TN's grocery tax. But they also deleted the fiscally responsible part of our bill, offering no way to pay for it. So the GOP bill cuts the grocery tax — and cuts funding for roads & schools.

Democrats trust women, believe in bodily autonomy and respect healthcare privacy. In contrast, Republicans want to insert themselves between women, their doctors and their faith, criminalize women and doctors, jeopardize women’s lives, and threaten families.

Polling showed during the election that people who could answer basic questions correctly about basic facts of American life, were overwhelmingly supportive of Kamala Harris: - the fact that crime was going down in major American cities - the fact that inflation had declined down to near historic averages - the fact that Southern border crossings were at there lowest levels in years - the fact that the stock market was booming What we could not overcome was an onslaught of Republican lies.
