In case you didn't know, Elmo has sank almost 200 million dollars into Texas trying to get Abbott and Paxton elected - and 3 months after he did so, Abbott signed off on over 1.6 billion in tax breaks for Elmo's chip plant in TX. I'm sure it's a coincidence.

Here we have Senate Majority Leader and liar liar pants on fire @LeaderJohnThune claiming everybody has more money in their pockets because of the policies of the last 2 years. Here are the facts: Real wages are down .3%, prices have climbed 3.4%. The personal savings rate is 3.0% and had dropped to 2.6% in April. A year ago that number was 4.4%. The average American is going to spend an additional $1,020 this year in fuel costs alone ($860 so far as of this writing) thanks to the GOP's war in Iran, will spend an additional $714 this year in energy costs, and $1,200 in higher prices due to tariffs. Meaning GOP policies this year alone are costing the average American $2,934. Meanwhile, the average American only received approximately $1,450 in savings from the only thing the GOP has done to reduce household costs - that being, the temporary tax cuts they keep crowing about. The numbers don't lie - this entire administration and congress is a failure of epic proportions.
