Congress wants to slash health care and nutrition aid while protecting billionaires. There is still time to call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to REJECT the Big Brutal Bill. Stand up for dignity and fairness! #Medicaid#SNAP
Every call, every email, every social post MATTERS. Every moment of delay to this awful budget package is, in fact, life life-saving. #OneBigHorribleBill
We are deeply saddened and distressed by the tragic assassination of Minnesota State Representative @melissahortman and her husband Mark, and the related attempted assassination of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. We extend our deepest condolences to the families, colleagues, and loved ones of the victims, and our solidarity with all those affected. Political violence is absolutely unacceptable and is an existential threat to our democracy.
Today! Join us at 3:30pm ET for a rapid response briefing on the big bill for billionaires. This is not merely a budget: it is a blueprint for perpetuating the Oppression Economy.

This Administration and Congress are “at odds with supermajorities of Americans. They’re overplaying their hand, ignoring the desperate real needs of working families and missing a political opportunity.” My piece in @USATODAY. https://t.co/yPginRTe1E
This isn’t a tax plan—this is the biggest wealth transfer in the history of the country. And it’s robbing the poor and middle-class—it’s robbing future generations of all kinds—to give to the wealthiest corporations and billionaires.
Take note who is voting and fighting for it.
BREAKING: Just now at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Before MAGA flips out, I'm sure the billions that Trump makes from his Meme Coin will be able to pay for a bottle of paint remover.
I'm not saying I support defacing property. In fact I do not. But Trump is defacing our Constitution and you all remain silent.
We hear about a new campaign "Families Over Billionaires" and how you can get involved in making the tax code more fair w/ @TaxWarRoom.

A case before the 5th Circuit will have far-reaching consequences for the rights of pregnant workers and democracy. We must fight to ensure the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act remains intact.

All week, we'll have ways for you to reach out to Congress and to take direct action to hold Elon Musk and Donald Trump accountable, to protect the Department of Education, to stop the next unfit, unqualified Cabinet nomination of Linda McMahon, and much more. Stay tuned!
Our Executive Branch is being run by petty men with grievances, tearing down institutions with no regard for our Constitution or the rule of law. Let's feel inspired by those reclaiming red, white and blue last night. Black History is American History, and we can honor the movements for civil rights, education equity, and non-violent resistance for hope and inspiration in this moment.
@WB_DOL We must #SolveChildCare to give families the quality, affordable care they deserve!
Make a difference NOW by sharing YOUR child care story! https://t.co/0VpxKtgfda
@WB_DOL U.S. families spend between 8.9% and 16.0% of their median income on full-day care. Even part-day care for school-aged children (e.g., before and after school care) comprises 8.1% to 9.4% of median family income! https://t.co/yWQYf4g4Xt #SolveChildCare
@WB_DOL@WB_DOL child care data shows that families were paying $6,552-$15,600 for full-day care for just ONE child in 2022 & the average national yearly rent was $15,216!
Child care costs should NOT be near impossible for families to afford! https://t.co/yWQYf4gCN1 #SolveChildCare
