Hold on to the truth.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.

Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

Reverse Robin Hood.

What a bunch of bullshit — voting to reopen the government based on a ‘promise’ to talk about the ACA at a later date? Unbelievable. Does anyone really think we can trust Republicans to operate in good faith? They don’t care about us & you can’t trust a word they say. Infuriating and embarrassing.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

It shows Schumer no longer has the caucus.
It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Merkley: "We were hearing the president yesterday saying, 'Well, I don't want to do these tax credits. Maybe I want to send out checks instead.' Ok, Mr President, you have a new plan? Let's get these tax credits out now & you'll have a year to develop the details & not have people left in the lurch"

Insulting and shameful that they think their customers won’t sense what is insincere and forced. Well, MAGA, though…

More so, this is fucking CREEPY. If that’s what you want and don’t believe in DEI, just hire a bunch of (white) robots in this situation.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

It's a lucrative business; for every deportation carried out by an #ICE officer, each officer receives a $5,000 bonus.
#ICE officers know this, which is why the more deportations they carry out, the more money they receive from our tax dollars!
