We have to shame Rs -they defunded the IRS for years -benefiting their wealthy donors. Biden admin's funding & strengthening of the IRS: produced impressive results.
The #IRS is fighting back against R efforts to shrink its budget. Study: extra investment would collect billions more from the rich -could convert the $80B it was allocated under the 2022 IRA into at least $561B in extra taxes collected over the next decade. $20B cut = >$100B cost of potential rev.
President Joe Biden did not indict Donald Trump.
Special Counsel Jack Smith did not indict Donald Trump.
Attorney General Merrick Garland did not indict Donald Trump.
A Grand Jury with United States citizens voted and indicted Donald Trump.
Agree, Americans need to understand that Republicans poisoned the country with treason, #TheBigLie, endangered nat. security with #TFG's presidency & still further it by shunning #democracy. The USG provides nat. sec., a social safety net...
"Biden should tell the public what the govt knows about Trump's collusion. We've a right to know, bc we've a right to a free & fair election; our norms can't be exploited to help a corrupt candidate cover up his cheating."
"Kraft, General Mills & other major food companies persuaded a fed jury that top US egg producers are liable for unlawfully inflating prices. The verdict on Tues followed a >5-week antitrust trial against a group of egg producers incl. Cal-Maine Foods & Rose Acre, over claims that they'd "rigged" the market by conspiring to charge artificially high prices."
Beto O'Rourke is correct, most Republicans are against immigration (nearly all are immigrants or their ancestry records indicate that they're in the US bc of immigration *allowed them to live here) that's needed for the economy. They're pro: #childlabor &
anti: abortion & birth control :
"There're 9.5M unfilled jobs in the US.
The GOP would rather gut child labor laws & ban abortion than allow immigrants to legally work them."
Scholastic has sent a letter apologizing, reversing the program, and redoubling efforts to combat book banning legislation. Thank you to all who signed and shared the statement which helped instigate forward momentum for Scholastic's decision.
There isn't an invasion or an emergency, Republicans have been lying to us. Apparently the CBP isn't busy at the border. Most CBP leaders/officers are GOP.
"Wait I thought y’all were so overwhelmed on the southern border. Almost like this border crisis is bs." -Jenn Budd
#GOPLies
"CBP is proud to lend its security expertise to large events across the country, incl. the Super Bowl. With less than a week to go before Super Bowl 58, learn how CBP secured SB 57 last year." https://go.dhs.gov/ZCi
Expose Republican LIES, esp. re the supposed invasion of migrants at the border:
“As a result of seasonal trends, as well as enhanced enforcement efforts by the CBP & our INTL partners, SW border encounters b/w ports of entry dropped by 50% in Jan." -CBP 2/13/24
"Most fentanyl is smuggled at ports of entry by US citizens, not by immigrants crossing the border illegally. Those seeking asylum +turn themselves in to authorities: not suitable contraband carriers." #GOPLies
Democrats need to amplify how #TFG & Republicans will treat immigrants once they’re in office, & also let them know that democracy will end. President Trump in Iowa: "As soon as I take the oath of office, I'll terminate ever open border policy of the Biden administration and begin the largest deportation operation in American history." In response, #Nazi#MAGA Stephen Miller posted: “The deportations will begin at noon, Inauguration Day.” #GOPFascism#GOPRacism
🚨 “Just as I wrote below yesterday (Sat.) would be coming. The GOP is keeping the whole border broken, the whole country hostage, until TRUMP is put back in the White House, come hell or high water.” -Pablo De La Rosa, TX public radio & NPR from the border. #GOPLies#GOPObstruction#GOPRacism
The LIES perpetrated by RW & MSM, that Biden's policies have led to inflation & his economy is worse than #TFG's must be refuted -his successes: amplified. Polling shows Dems, I's & Rs believe TFG's economy was better than Biden's. They're in a horserace, which the media wants:
"Biden pulls even with Trump as economic view improves slightly. He's a commanding lead among voters when it comes to which candidate they believe is best on several key econ. issues."
Overall, Biden's strategy is successful, but ppl focus on what they don't like & Rs lie about his accomplishments:
"In 2 years, we have >40K projects that're funded in the country in 4,500 communities in all 50 states... -incredible. Biden put up $1.7B for that bridge that connects 2 red states, OH & KY - did that bc he believes everybody in America ought to benefit from it. His wife was killed/son was an addict/son died from cancer, & he still came to work."
"Top NYT Editor Offers Stunning Defense of Coverage of Trump."
"The failure to clearly describe Trump's plan to cancel prosecutions of himself & other elements of his legal strategy as threats to the system itself, that is, as efforts to put himself above the law."
NEW POLL: After three weeks of Republican in-fighting, the majority of Americans agree the GOP has neglected the American people and their dysfunction has left our country on the brink of an economic crisis.
This is so typical. #Republicans don't get their own way, so their first instinct is to try to change the rules of the game. Imagine killing someone, then demanding that the #law against #murder be eliminated. That's exactly what they're trying to do.
This year brings an elevated threat of disinformation, & the perpetrators are armed with more tools than in recent years:
The US presidential election comes at a time of ideal circumstances for disinfo. & the ppl who spread it.
"This should feel like Jan 2020, but after a pandemic, an insurrection & a hardening of belief that the election was stolen, & congressional investigations into those of us who work in this field, it feels utterly diff-.”
Republican MOC, notably, many in leadership, continue to lie about the transfer of $6B Iranian funds that were used to secure the release of American hostages, blaming Pres Biden. SOS Blinken: “Not a single dollar from that account has been spent and, in any event, is closely and carefully regulated by the Treasury Dept.” He stressed that the funds are designated solely for humanitarian purposes and are not US tax dollars. #GOPLieshttps://abcnews.go.com/Politics/blinken-responds-criticism-iran-money-transfer-ahead-hamas/story?id=103809664
">3 years later, the right can’t even agree on how the election was supposedly stolen. Secret thumb drives? Italian satellites? Mail-in ballots? “Votes that flipped”? Dead ppl voting? -Collection of dumb claims that deserves to be disrespected. Some journalists think fairness means airing any theory that has a constituency, no matter how crazy.
In #Texas, #doctors face a real #SophiesChoice. They can either practice #medicine the way they’ve been taught, regardless of the personal consequences to themselves; they can try their best to comply with the arbitrary edicts of the #Republican state legislature and their own hapless medical board, and still risk #prison; or they can choose to leave the state of Texas and practice elsewhere.
"Majorities know little or nothing about the Biden admin's INFRA bill, CHIPS act, ARP & IRA. While 40% of respondents said Biden has done more than Trump on INFRA, 37% said Trump had done more.
It's largely a media problem, large chunk is Fox News & Sinclair, their local affiliate, RW radio... If Biden did anything good, they won't hear it, but they'll hear lies, or gross distortions of the truth-."
Rs are broadcasting their sinister plans. MSM isn't sounding the alarm:
Evidence is everywhere: the right is planning to end representative govt if it fails to legitimately return #TFG to the WH -clear a few months after #J6 that the RW propaganda apparatus was laying the groundwork to try again in 2024. #FoxNews & #MAGAMedia spent the weeks after the 2020 election fabricating & amplifying election fraud lies... to institutionalize TFG's #TheBigLie.
#RWMedia, & most of MSM #media, have helped poison the brains of voters. The outlets have bashed Pres Biden, eclipsing what they did to HRC, while giving #TFG & Republicans undue credit:
"That’s right: A flat majority says that economic conditions in our country are “poor.” Even though they simultaneously say that their own lives are going pretty well."
