Dear GOP candidates: right now we tax the first $150k of everyone’s earnings which goes to SS. But we don’t tax what people make after that—that’s why a cop and a firefighter pay on every dollar and a hedge fund guy doesn’t. If you fix that it could extend solvency.
Thanks to everyone who made last evening’s launch event such a wonderful success.
And a special thanks to our amazing guest speakers: Joe Welsh, Triniti Freeman, and Stacey Taylor.

You're seeing in real time how disinformation works. This is an outright, intentional lie from someone who knows better.
Governor Abbott graduated from Vanderbilt Law, was a Supreme Court Justice in Texas, and was the Attorney General. He knows that Trump was not indicted by the DOJ or by President Biden, but by a grand jury of Floridians who heard the evidence presented and made a decision based on the rule of law. The DOJ or a President cannot 'indict' anyone at their whim.
I'm sure this isn't the first time you've seen this claim on your feed today. This lie is the passed around talking point that's being pushed out to allied Senators, Members of Congress, and Governors to repeat over and over again in hopes folks don't know any better — to distract from the substance of the indictment. It is a distraction from an action that deserves no excuses.
Unfortunately for all of them, lies only support a cracking foundation for so long.
My team and I have been monitoring this situation over the past 24 hours. Smoke is affecting the entire Commonwealth.
Children, older people, and people with asthma or a respiratory illness should avoid going outdoors today as much as possible, and we should all avoid strenuous outdoor activity.

.@RepMcClinton has been a trailblazer her entire career as a public defender, advocate, and legislator.
Today, she makes history as Pennsylvania’s first female Speaker and first Black female to lead the House.
I'm thrilled to call her Madam Speaker.
Right now, someone making $160,000/year pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $16,000,000,000. That doesn’t make ANY sense. By raising the cap on payroll taxes for the wealthy, we can increase Social Security by $200/month and fund the program through 2095.
Here's the crazy situation. Somebody making $10 million in a year is contributing the EXACT SAME AMOUNT into Social Security as somebody making $160,000. Let's raise the cap and expand Social Security benefits, not cut them.
Millions of Americans struggle with their mental health. I am proud of @SenFettermanPA for getting the help he needs and for publicly acknowledging his challenges to break down the stigma for others. Terese and I are sending our prayers to John, Gisele, and the Fetterman family.
A free-for-all hellscape.
That's what Elon Musk said Twitter would become if anyone could say anything with no consequences.
And that's what today's Oversight hearing, supposedly about Twitter "suppression," devolved into, with screaming and yelling from the majority.
