More than five months after Russia began its attack on Ukraine, there is concern the world’s attention on the war is fading. To help, Ukrainian tennis stars joined their Polish counterparts to raise awareness and funds for Ukraine. https://t.co/tc7vGPPtif
It’s time for Congress to do its part to get our economy on a sounder footing, and the Inflation Reduction Act would do exactly that—bringing down costs for families and stopping giant corporations with massive profits from skipping out on the bill at tax time.
Senate Republicans blocked the bipartisan #PACTAct, which supports veterans with cancer and other diseases caused by service-related toxic exposures.
Republicans are playing politics with our veterans. It’s shameful.
I would expect more respect for those who put on the uniform.
@SBAIsabel@SBAgov@RepHorsford Andrea was just 18% of small businesses who got through out of millions of applicants that the SBA has failed to address over the last 2 years. Although this story is the optimal case for you to highlight, we DEMAND that you address the 82% @SBAOIG@SenatorCardin@TrySmallBiz
@MayorBMScott@BenCardinforMD And you sent $40billion to Ukraine & turned your backs on small biz. Over 7million left to dry. We are 46% of the nations work force. The carelessness of our government and its priorities will lead to the complete collapse of our economy. Where is the advocacy @SBAgov@SBAIsabel
@SenatorCardin@SBAgov@SenatorCardin thank you sir for stepping up for all small@business owners. The @SBAgov@SBAIsabel have given us the run around with. No communication and we are still processing in our portal.
The SBA will be taking $320 MILLION dollars from the 10K EIDL GRANT program to "service EIDL loans". In layman's terms, they kept small businesses from getting the money, to build themselves up. That $320MIL isn't in the purple zone. This is the biggest govt. SCAM in all history!

This week the #EIDL program for #covid19 will expire. Thousands of businesses are being denied loans who qualify. Why? The #IRS is so backlogged they are claiming businesses have not filed their taxes...but they have. Why is no one covering this? @washingtonpost@nytimes@latimes
#SBA employees have told me that during covid #IRS employees didn't even have laptops. The #IRS is SO backlogged, they know it, admit it, and yet qualified small businesses are being denied #EIDL because the system is not up to date. @katieporteroc@ocregister#covid19
@haydentiff My 2¢'s... Depends on where you're headed; how fast you want to get there; how comfortable you want to be getting there. Maintenance costs on the Porsche might be more but it should be more consistent than with the Jeep and it's random repairs.
@MikeKen51382691 That's good to hear! The delays most people are experiencing have to do with paper returns or returns with errors. I've got a 2019 amended return I'm still waiting on. Right now they need more staff to manually enter all the paper return data.
IRS processing delays are costing taxpayers time and money. Most of the time the IRS is not available to take the call when when it does there is a long wait time (1 to 2 hours). #IRS#TaxTwitter#taxseason#taxes
Small businesses are the lifeblood of America’s economy and are powering our recovery from the pandemic.
Last week, @HouseDemocrats passed bipartisan legislation to support restaurants and other hard-hit small businesses with $55 billion in pandemic recovery assistance.
Today I was sanctioned by the Russian Federation.
I consider it a badge of honor to be sanctioned by an authoritarian leader waging a horrific war against a sovereign nation.
This is a time to take sides, and this announcement confirms that Putin knows exactly what side I’m on.
