Jason Paletta is running for Congress against Rep JOHN GARAMENDI in California.
Boy, that's some makeover. 🙄
Don't let MAGA get a foothold in California.
Chip in and help re-elect

Wealth #inequality is more than twice the level of #income inequality: The wealthiest 🔟% of households hold 52% of total net wealth compared with 24% of total income held by the top 🔟%.
Compare your country ⤵️

I dug into the research on homework for my latest for @substack and found its benefits, well, lacking. There's no good evidence that homework in elementary school helps kids learn — and there's growing evidence that it widens the achievement gap. melindawmoyer.substack.com/p…

Four years ago today—Republicans in the US House voted to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, which was keeping me alive.
Republicans in 12 states are still refusing to expand Medicaid, which means 4 million Americans are going without health care. thenation.com/article/politi…

GOP Tax Scam exploded the debt by $2,000,000,000,000 (two trillion).
83 percent of the benefits went to the wealthiest one percent.
Remember that this week when Republicans lecture us about fiscal responsibility.

This is a thread on the Romney Child Tax Credit plan. My hope is that somehow it will find its way to liberal commentators who feel an almost giddy impulse to tell their many followers that the Romney proposal is better or just as good or close enough to the Biden proposal

This is Monica Smith, a 45-year-old Indiana woman who was in a serious car wreck in 2016.
She had health insurance. The hospital refused to bill it, instead pursuing her for $12,856.
How'd that happen?
Her story is the wildest medical bill saga I've seen in months. (1/13)

These tweets are infuriating. In 2009 “Democrats” could have abolished the filibuster- they had enough votes. Today they do not. There are at least 5 in the Dem caucus that oppose- Manchin, Sanders, Sinema, Kelly and Coons. Name the actual names.

BREAKING: Over 1,400 historians + legal scholars affirm that the immediate impeachment and removal of President Trump is necessary to protect our democracy. Congress must make clear that Trump inciting a mob against the Capitol is disqualifying conduct.
