All together, the nine billionaires tapped by Trump to serve in his administration are worth at least $340 billion – higher than the GDP of 172 countries.

Why any working person in America would ever think Trump or his administration is looking out for your interests is a mystery.

Great to see Knoxville standing up and speaking out against @GovBillLee and the supermajority’s #VoucherScam that defunds our kid’s schools. We need to show up in big numbers to stop this scam. Please join your friends and neighbors December 16 for this action!

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

Parent’s choice is a lie. The private school chooses which child they will take, they can refuse any child they like. Public tax dollars should not fund private schools that discriminate in which children they select. The Gov and supermajority need to stop lying to TN families.

Trump will inherit a strong economy from the Biden-Harris administration.

I’ve fought my entire career to make sure every American has a chance.

If you rely on Social Security, know this:

Donald Trump proposed cutting Social Security and Medicare EVERY single year he was president, and we expect the same in his second term.

Democrats will fight back against these attempts and work to protect these essential programs.

Amazon’s worker injury rate is the highest in the industry (3x higher than Walmart!).

Trump 2 is just going to be a grift to hurt workers and make the Mar a Lago crowd even stinkier rich.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

At this moment, Democrats must stand in the breach to defend the rule of law and our constitutional democracy.

That is our historic assignment now, and it's why I'm seeking the Ranking Membership of the House Judiciary Committee. https://t.co/2W27h7M1ZX

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

Put plainly, tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy only benefit the ultra-wealthy. We know this.

And we know extending Trump's tax scam would add $4.6 trillion to the deficit, slow economic growth, and result in fewer jobs.

Pay attention, people.

BREAKING: The media is finally acknowledging that the U.S. economy is growing faster under President Biden than it ever did under Donald Trump. Wow.

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

For 89 years, Social Security has never missed a payment—even during wars and recessions.

Each generation has paid into the system. Let’s expand benefits for current and future generations!

[House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary]

Maddow on botched Gaetz nomination: To add insult to injury, House Republicans still had to vote to keep secret the Ethics Committee findings in their investigation of the child sex trafficking allegations against Matt Gaetz.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Every American deserves the peace of mind that comes with affordable, high-quality health insurance.

Thanks to President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, millions of Americans are saving an average of $800 per year on health care premiums.

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

Let's tax the rich - that's how you can actually "make America great again."

The massive inequality we see in this country began to explode over decades of handing out tax giveaways to the wealthiest in our society.

[Tennessee Senate Democrats @TNSenateDems]

We love it when Republicans steal our good ideas to help everyday families like cutting TN's grocery tax.

But they also deleted the fiscally responsible part of our bill, offering no way to pay for it. So the GOP bill cuts the grocery tax — and cuts funding for roads & schools.

[TN House Democrats @TNDemocrats]

Democrats trust women, believe in bodily autonomy and respect healthcare privacy.
In contrast, Republicans want to insert themselves between women, their doctors and their faith, criminalize women and doctors, jeopardize women’s lives, and threaten families.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: President Biden’s foreign policy has decimated our adversaries in Russia and Iran while our economy outpaces China for the first time in 40 years.

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

Let's be clear about who passed the largest infrastructure package in history.

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

How many billionaires does it take to run a government into the ground? Nine and counting, apparently... https://t.co/WzBAbHwfM6

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

Polling showed during the election that people who could answer basic questions correctly about basic facts of American life, were overwhelmingly supportive of Kamala Harris:

- the fact that crime was going down in major American cities
- the fact that inflation had declined down to near historic averages
- the fact that Southern border crossings were at there lowest levels in years
- the fact that the stock market was booming

What we could not overcome was an onslaught of Republican lies.
