12,000 jobs may not seem like a lot, but it is more than the monthly average job growth of the last 3 Republican Presidents over their 16 years. Like our crowd sizes, ours is big and theirs is little.

The people who are most comfortable, most powerful, most protected are the ones who fall in line preemptively.

We need to win the election and then we need to tax the shit out of these people. This level of concentrated wealth is dangerous for our democracy.

Notice how neither trump nor vance have released their tax returns and the media doesn't care...

1/A minor example: when Alabama passed its anti-immigrant "deport yourself" there were not enough people to pick the tomato crop that year. Prices skyrocketed. & because we're a head count state where education funding is determined by the number of kids in school on a set day...

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

WSJ survey of economists. This is as close to unanimity as the profession gets

Reminder that @SenRonJohnson met Putin in a secret meeting on July 4th.

He then a week later bought himself two luxury SUVs and a new vacation home.

His net worth since 2010 has gone from $10 million to $75 million, all while being a senator.

He is a traitor.

In its first 14 years, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program only delivered relief to ~7,000 people. I fought for reform. The Biden-Harris administration made key fixes. Since then, nearly 950,000 nurses, teachers, firefighters, & other public servants have gotten relief.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

The loudest voice in American democracy should be that of the people. But the loophole created by Citizens United opened the floodgates for political spending by foreign oligarchs. With our bill, @SenWhitehouse & I propose putting the American public back in the driver's seat.

Gov. Walz: I saw the United Auto Workers had a name for Trump. They called him a scab. He went to Mar-a-Lago and told his friends 'you're rich as hell and we're going to cut your taxes.' Then he turns around and tells workers their wages are too high

Did you know?

Republicans are trying to rewrite their history on the Child Tax Credit. Families are struggling right now & they deserve to know exactly why we’re not acting on a proven solution to help them.

Airlines have merged from 12 carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

4 companies control 85% of beef processing, 70% of the pork market, and 54% of poultry.

Albertsons, Kroger, and Walmart control 70% of the grocery sales in 167 cities.

Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

What did corporations do with the money saved?

They didn’t invest it or raise wages.

They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect.

Nothing trickled down to workers.

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

Wow. UAW President Shawn Fain isn’t mincing words.

“People just don’t want to work…I agree…The people I’m talking about are the Wall Street Freeloaders: The Masters of Passive Income.”

This is worth a watch. #UnionsForAll

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Hello @SEC_Enforcement & @IRS_CI, insider trading calling… ☎️🚨

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: It seems Congressman William Keating sold his shares in Boeing, $BA, on February 28, 2024, just one day prior to the Department of Justice announcing its investigation into Boeing on February 29, 2024. He offloaded his stock right before news broke of the DOJ's probe into the company.

President Biden capped insulin costs at $35 a month for seniors on Medicare through the Inflation Reduction Act.

Not a single Congressional Republican voted for it.
