Fighting for an economy that works for everyone, not just the .1%. A @groundwork project.

The price of jet fuel is jacking up the price of shipping for every American. But that won’t stop the VP from flying on the taxpayer dime to support Hungary’s embattled authoritarian leader.

The Trump DOD wants $200B for his Iran War, and his NASA pick now wants even more for “President Trump’s moon base.”

Here on Earth, we have to make some sacrifices.

[Trump Affordability Tour @TrumpAffordable]

Trump's war in Iran means higher prices on gas, food, and utilities.

But some people are getting by with a little help from their friends.

Welcome to @TrumpAffordable.

We’re teaming up with @Public_Citizen & @ClimatePower to keep a running tab on how Donald Trump is making life more expensive for you while he and his billionaire buddies cash out.

[Trump Affordability Tour @TrumpAffordable]

Trump’s bold solution for the energy cost crisis he created? Spend $1 billion of your tax dollars to make it worse.

[Groundwork Action @GWAction]

And these are the same people who would get a MASSIVE windfall from tax cuts while working Americans foot the bill.

Make it make sense.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The net worth of America’s wealthiest 1% has grown to a record $49.2 trillion.

And the net worth of the wealthiest 0.1% has grown by $4.4 trillion in the past two years—more than the net worth of the entire bottom 50% combined.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

In 2017, Trump gave a $2 trillion tax cut mostly sucked up by billionaires and big corporations.

But it was so expensive, Republicans set many of their tax cuts to end after 2025.

Now, Republicans want to steal from working people to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

THIS 👇👇

Billionaires—not Social Security—are bankrupting America.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Funny how the guy who got billions in government contracts suddenly hates "entitlements" when they help regular people.

America isn't going broke because of Social Security. It's going broke from billionaires dodging taxes.

[Groundwork Action @GWAction]

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are going to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations by cutting Social Security and Medicare.

Everyone needs to be talking about this.

[Groundwork Action @GWAction]

Republican values: If you’re a billionaire, here’s a tax cut. If you’re a working family, good luck affording groceries, healthcare, or childcare.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

4 in 5 Americans support raising taxes on the rich — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want to cut taxes for the rich and pay for it by slashing funding for nursing homes and school lunches.

[Groundwork Action @GWAction]

In order to give tax breaks to billionaires, House Republicans are putting Medicaid on the chopping block – even at the expense of their own constituents. It’s just plain cruel. https://t.co/Wf8E0c6E3z

[Brendan Duke @Brendan_Duke]

What’s especially galling about this statement is the Trump Administration wants to take the revenue they raise from taxing Americans’ food, clothing, and gas and use it to finance tax cuts tilted to the wealthy.

[Groundwork Action @GWAction]

House Republicans are playing pretend, saying they won’t cut Medicare or Medicaid while pushing a budget that can only work by cutting both—all to fund tax cuts for the ultra-rich.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Republicans in Congress cannot reach their goal of cutting at least $1.5 trillion in spending over the next 10 years for Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” on taxes and immigration unless they cut Medicaid or Medicare benefits, a nonpartisan bookkeeper found. https://t.co/9kGSfDrbdq

[Groundwork Action @GWAction]

The chainsaw cuts through health care, food assistance, and programs that help working people, but has an off-switch for the rich? How convenient. 😑

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce.

Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year.

Hello?

[Groundwork Action @GWAction]

IRS Direct File gives people the power to file taxes for free, but tax prep giants like TurboTax are lobbying to shut it down. Their business model depends on overcharging people—which is why they don’t want you to know there’s a better, free way to do it. https://t.co/dTkcW1e90N

[Brendan Duke @Brendan_Duke]

A quick walkthrough of Trump Admin plans low-income people:

1.) Taxes on imported groceries, clothing, gas, medicine, & more.

2.) Cuts to nutrition assistance & health care so they pay more for each

3.) Extending the 2017 tax law ($125 tax cut for bottom 20%)

Not a good deal.

[SEIU @SEIU]

Of course they’re making working people foot the bill—because they’re the ones cashing in. 🚨

Republicans in Congress writing tax policy have an average net worth of $15 MILLION—and the wealthiest among them stand to pocket $24.6 MILLION from the Trump tax “plan.”

This isn’t tax policy. It’s class warfare.

[Groundwork Action @GWAction]

Leb’s message reflects the concerns of many Americans who counted on Trump to keep his promise to lower prices.

The question is simple: Will he stand with hard-working families or continue to side with the wealthy? The people who put him in office are watching closely.

[Unrig Our Economy @UnrigOurEconomy]

🚨NEW AD DROP! Leb, a Trump voter and veteran, has a question for the President: Are you on the side of billionaires & corporations or hard working people?

Stop giving billionaires tax breaks while cutting Medicaid for hardworking Americans.
