BREAKING: Kamala Harris has just unveiled an aggressive economic policy agenda. Details:

- $25,000 Subsidy for First-Time Homebuyers:
A federal subsidy of $25,000 for more than 1 million first-time homebuyers to assist with down payments.

- $6,000 Child Tax Credit:
A $6,000 Child Tax Credit for the first year of a baby’s life, in addition to restoring the Biden administration’s Child Tax Credit that expired in 2021, which provided $3,000 per child (up from $2,000).

- Elimination of Medical Debt:
Proposing to cancel medical debt for millions of Americans by using federal funds to buy and forgive outstanding medical debt from healthcare providers.

- Ban on Price Gouging for Groceries and Food:
Introducing the "first-ever" ban on price gouging for groceries and food, including authorizing the Federal Trade Commission to impose fines on grocery stores that engage in excessive price hikes.

- Cap on Prescription Drug Costs:
Expanding on provisions from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, Harris proposes capping out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs at $2,000 annually for all Americans, extending beyond just Medicare beneficiaries.

- Earned Income Tax Credit Expansion:
Expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit for lower-wage workers by up to $1,500.

- Affordable Care Act Subsidies:
Extending subsidies for Americans on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges.

- Targeting Pharmaceutical Companies:
Harris plans to target pharmaceutical companies that block competition and engage in abusive practices, supporting ongoing efforts by the Federal Trade Commission.

I’m sure Trump supporters will claim that this will put us more into debt.

Not if she rolls back the $2 Trillion in corporate tax cuts that Trump put in place. This simply puts average Americans ahead of corporations.

Did you know? When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004, mass shootings increased by 245%. — These numbers tell a story.

Police beating an Arab teen in the streets of a Chicago suburb -- such brutality is seen regrettably in how Israeli police deal with Palestinian teens. US & Israeli police regularly hold joint trainings
Trigger warning: police brutally beating 17 year old

Researchers estimate that if we still had a federal assault weapons ban, we would see 70% fewer mass shooting deaths.

S-E-V-E-N-T-Y PERCENT.

Reinstating it should be a no-brainer.

Congress is about to give a $52 billion subsidy to companies that make semiconductor chips.

Meanwhile, Intel – the world's biggest chip maker – had $79B in revenue last year.

And their CEO's pay ($179M) was 1,711x an average employee.

This is the height of corporate welfare.

Keep in mind at this point children were wiping their classmates blood on themselves to look dead while the police were busing keeping germs off of their hands. The shooting continued for another 20 minutes. #Uvalde #uvaldepolice #BlueLivesMatter

A 10-year-old girl was denied abortion services in Ohio.

10.

So no, I’m not ok with the Democratic Party’s response federally simply being “vote in November.”

Residents in my state can’t wait till November and 10-year-olds can’t vote.

Here’s what they should be doing.

Government-mandated pregnancies for 4th-graders. That’s the MAGA Republican plan for child rape victims.

If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

I’m old enough to remember when Dems had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and had the House and the White House and didn’t protect Roe or pass gun reform. Voting alone isn’t enough- we need better Democrats.
