Because of provisions in a 2017 Republican-led tax law, @abbvie, "a multinational pharmaceutical corporation with annual sales over $50B paid a lower tax rate than a postal service worker or a preschool teacher.”

AbbVie paid of 8.7% in 2018, 8.6% in 2019 & 11.2% in 2020.

Using @abbvie as an example, Senate Democrats make push to roll back company-friendly tax rules from Trump Era https://t.co/eXmK0bS3rx

This sounds like it could be a pretty big deal that could change our understanding not only of #COVID19, but of disease and our immune system in general https://t.co/ALnONMDDoJ

[STAT @statnews]

People who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 appear to have a much lower likelihood of developing long Covid than unvaccinated people even when they contract the coronavirus, according to a new study. https://t.co/YHZlgJFifM

The Sacklers get to stay billionaires, receive complete civil immunity, and aren't facing any criminal charge. Meanwhile, cops, prosecutors, and judges in every city, state and federal court will continue to cage ordinary human beings addicted to opioids. https://t.co/atWDARstQM

@ElizLanders Why "hanging" Nancy Pelosi? Isn't that what the insurrectionists wanted to do to VP Pence? Really interesting choice of words...

@MoooPapa Right, like the fact that lumber prices DOUBLED under Trump? & maybe oil is up since we're reopening the economy & there's more demand? It's not that simple. https://t.co/fjy3MJxjfQ

@CarlHigbie The KeystoneXL pipeline would have transported Canadian oil to the Gulf of Mexico for export (mainly China), so it wouldn't help. Know what would? Diversifying our energy infrastructure & protecting from cyber attacks, but Trump cut the budget for that (CISA) by $125M last year

[Alexandra @AlleyJoyFoley]

@lisalou The KeystoneXL would have transported Canadian oil to the Gulf of Mexico, so it's irrelevant here. You know what would help create jobs and diversify energy infrastructure? Biden's infrastructure bill

[Alexandra @AlleyJoyFoley]

@bravesfan1024 Keystone pipeline IS open. It's the extension (XL) that isn't. AND the Keystone pipeline was to transport Canadian oil to the Gulf of Mexico, so it's irrelevant here anyways. You know what would help create jobs and diversify energy infrastructure? Biden's infrastructure bill

[Alexandra @AlleyJoyFoley]

@jamesgib1980 @DailyCaller Actually no... the KeystoneXL pipeline would have transported CANADIAN oil to the Gulf of Mexico for export (mostly to China). We need is cybersecurity, but Trump cut CISA budget by $250M last year, which protects the nation’s critical infrastructure from physical & cyber threats

[Alexandra @AlleyJoyFoley]

@SrHarberson @GOPLeader @PKF96515662 The issue is Trump cut CISA budget by $250M last year, which protects the nation’s critical infrastructure from physical & cyber threats. The Keystone pipeline was to transport Canadian oil to the Gulf of Mexico... you know what would help create jobs? The infrastructure bill.

@ARmastrangelo Kinda how during that time guns could only shoot a single bullet & people hunted for their food? That's the beauty of the Constitution, it's up for interpretation. So unless you're exclusively using a rifle 1700s, which is ALSO what the Constitution was referencing, shut the f up

Live mic just accidentally said “let’s play her and get out” in reference to sen. Catherine Cortez Masto taking the floor 😂 No! We want to listen to our elected leaders! Keep playing this!

@ABC Don’t “play her and get out”!! We want to keep listening to our elected leaders!!

[Alexandra @AlleyJoyFoley]

@BTaylorMinistry @fox5dc Yes...

[Alexandra @AlleyJoyFoley]

@fox5dc Did you ask this question when BLM protests where happening? Why are we asking it now? BLM protesters who broke curfew were arrested, and rightly so.
