In 2018, @elonmusk paid $0 in federal income taxes. Most Americans pay 14%+ of their income.

He pays the same into Social Security as someone making $184.5K — a sum he made just 15 minutes after midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Trillionaires shouldn’t exist in a moral society.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

It is a moral failure of our country that we changed the rules to create a trillionaire while doing nothing about the 771,000 homeless and over 18 million who do not have enough to eat.

How much taxpayer money are we wasting on things that should have never happened in the first place?

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Donald Trump's priorities are all wrong. I'm a UFC fan, but this isn't for the fans. This is a birthday party for Trump and his rich friends. It’s a for-profit fight, while fans at home are forced to pay to watch it and the fighters are sweating through 90-degree D.C. swamp weather. I won’t be tuning in this Sunday.

Sixteen of the 27 corporate donors to Trump's ballroom are facing federal enforcement actions or have had such actions suspended by the Trump admin, including major antitrust reviews, labor actions and securities matters. https://t.co/zaF7Ky0aaI

Nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have donated to reelect Susan Collins.

THIS is what the U.S. Senate campaign in Maine is all about.

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.

Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.

A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.

Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

[Jamie Raskin @jamie_raskin]

Last night my friend @MaxwellFrostFL showed me Donald Trump’s Truth Social posting urging MAGA to expel me from Congress. Apparently Trump doesn’t appreciate our fight against his $1.776 billion slush fund or his outrageous attack against the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Sorry, Mr. President, I’m not going anywhere but back to the front lines of the fight against corruption and authoritarianism.

No matter WHO is DNI, no government official should be able to spy on Americans without a warrant.

Reforming Section 702 is the only path forward.

If you care about the Epstein Files, you need to watch this reporting from the New York Times.

The Trump Administration has done everything possible to avoid releasing them. The survivors deserve real justice, and this Administration is doing everything it can to stand in the way of that. It needs to stop.

The survivors and the American people deserve the truth.

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.

History's first trillionaire.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

"It's a race against time. ... People like @realDonaldTrump, narcissistic sociopaths like the ones we've seen throughout history—the Hitlers and the Stalins—they blow themselves up in the end. And the question is the blast radius, and the longer we let this go on the bigger the blast radius is."

@RepNancyMace Grow up. If you have no integrity, just be quiet. You did nothing as a Representative to distinguish yourself.

Get some counseling, work on correcting your flaws, and try to become a better person.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Elon Musk has so much money he could feed everyone on the planet for 11 years with direct food aid & delivery. He has that much money, to feed 8 billion people for 11 years.
Elon is only rich on paper. His soul is rotten to the core.

New data reveals that New World Screwworm, a severely dangerous flesh-eating maggot, is spreading throughout Texas.

This comes months after Ken Paxton supported cutting Screwworm monitoring programs.
