The anti-CRT movement didn’t happen overnight. It’s backed by ultra-wealthy, highly connected donors and organizers—including the Koch family 👀 https://t.co/jemq54txPH

The #VCFCA seeks to correct the predatory interest rates that borrowers across America face when taking out loans.

Some of the biggest companies in the country, including @Meta, @Target and @Disney, have made public commitments to racial equity.

But their memberships in @BizRoundtable, @USChamber, and other anti-#BuildBackBetter groups undermines that.

Your reminder that @Sen_JoeManchin has taken $1.5 million this year from special interests opposed to #BuildBackBetter. Just saying. https://t.co/n4LJsopVee

The #BuildBackBetter plan could offer a lot of relief to West Virginian families through an expanded #ChildTaxCredit. @Sen_JoeManchin knows that.

So…where is the difference between the “handouts” you rail against and the hundreds of millions in government aid you received during the pandemic, @taxreformer @aynrandinst @prageru?

“Just stop buying avocado toast!” Yeah okay.

Yes, Trump-era pandemic aid programs may have done a poor job at helping minority-owned businesses and their employees, but at least the private jet companies stayed afloat. 🙄 https://t.co/yzf50gweco

Federal student loan repayments have been delayed until May 2022!

Borrowers can now enjoy the holidays without the stress of repaying student debt while they try to make ends meet during a pandemic.

The professionals are clear—the #BuildBackBetter and #Infrastructure bills should NOT impact inflation. https://t.co/LY8qRavZuZ

Corporations are appealing to the public by claiming to defend #votingrights...

...while they're appealing to anti-voting rights legislators by filling their campaign coffers. https://t.co/vPJaSCQbYw

Shareholders are winning big right now with a combination of corporate greed and minimal competition.

Everyday Americans are the ones paying big. https://t.co/YDRvq4uuum

New @accountable_us research lifts the curtain on the forces behind the anti-critical race theory movement.

Hint: The billionaire Koch family is very involved... https://t.co/jemq54txPH

[Allied Progress @AlliedProgress]

There is absolutely no reason for huge corporations and the ultra-wealthy to avoid paying their fair share in taxes. #TaxtheRich

[Allied Progress @AlliedProgress]

Corporations with considerable influence continue to make promises about defending democracy, but they're failing to match their actions to their words. It isn't too much to ask that corporations step it up and fulfill their promises to Americans. https://t.co/PeAw69xQac

[Allied Progress @AlliedProgress]

The latest conservative cause célèbre is using students as a political prop. @accountable_us dug into the wealthy and well-connected names behind anti-critical race theory campaigns, from the Koch family to former Trump officials. https://t.co/jemq54txPH

This summer, a group of major American corporations pushed Congress to back the John Lewis Voting Rights Act...all while they were donating to the campaigns of the bill's biggest opponents. https://t.co/1utnbJdiau

[Allied Progress @AlliedProgress]

Did these 16 senators change their minds about the importance of voting rights to our democracy? Why have they turned their backs on an issue they once supported? 🤔 https://t.co/9WR5fmWrs3

[Allied Progress @AlliedProgress]

New from @accountable_us: Major US companies like @Meta, @Dell and @Amazon demanded the passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act—yet, the same companies have donated over $164,000 to the lawmakers who just blocked the bill. https://t.co/EvrgwKKo9D

#PaidLeave is back in the social spending bill—after a year and a half of seeing the damage caused when Americans must choose between ensuring the health and safety of their families or reporting to work, fixing this problem should be a priority. https://t.co/cDOxqaizW1
