A teacher earning $60,000 pays Social Security taxes on every dollar she earns.

A worker earning $184,500 does, too.

But someone earning $1 million pays the tax on just the first $184,500. Nothing more.

Yes, the country’s billionaires pay into Social Security as if they make $184,500.

That doesn’t make sense.

So I have a bill to eliminate this arbitrary cap on Social Security taxes.

If those with the highest incomes just paid the same share as everyone else, we could inject around $3 TRILLION into the program over the next 10 years.

I'm fighting hard to protect Social Security.

What in the world? When will this idiot be gone? Come on Republicans in Congress, do your damn job.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Republicans passed legislation that requires people to work at least 80 hours per month to receive Medicaid.

Over the past two months, Republican leadership worked, on average, for only 56 hours.

They wouldn't even meet the work requirements they forced on working families.

I would like to publicly ask @jaketapper WHY AREN'T YOU COVERING THIS STORY WITH A TENTH AS MUCH FERVOR AS YOU DID WHEN BIDEN SHOWED SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN?

[Linda @bandaidqueen]

@factpostnews That's the point

[Denise Haynes @nee_haynes]

Maybe instead of making Medicare, Medicaid & social security recipients work until they drop, we should require Congress to work for a fucking change. They make $174K a year, plus $79 per day for meals & incidentals. And now, once again, they’re on a break.

The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.

That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.

Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.

Susan Collins said today: “I’ve always been pro-choice.”

Always pro-choice? She voted for Kavanaugh. She voted against codifying Roe. She’s gaslighting our entire state.

Every time I sew, I get to remember my absolute disdain for the people who destroyed Joann. I don’t want to wait 3-7 days for elastic, I want get in my car and drive to a place that has too bright lights, clutter everywhere and the sweetest ladies at the cutting table.

Jeff Bezos claiming humans are consuming too much water and not leaving enough for AI data centers is INSANE.

Now 52% of young adults live with their parents, the highest rate ever, surpassing even the Great Depression. The most-educated and most in debt generation in history did everything they were supposed to and got this.

The system. Does. Not. Work

RETWEET if you stand with Michelle Obama!

We have this, but kids cancer research was deemed wasteful spending.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

No audits for Trump. No audits for his companies. No audits for his family. Forever.

Last time I checked, the tax code does not have a Trump family exemption.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
