"There are zero states that fully adopt the federal tax rules in their own codes.

When state lawmakers are doing their job well, they sit down and give each item careful consideration about whether it makes sense in their own code or not.”

House Republicans just passed the #SaveAmericaAct. It is a slap in the face to military families. 🇺🇸 This bill forces overseas military spouses to fly home to prove citizenship in person. It's unworkable, unfair, and disenfranchises those sacrificing the most. #HandsOffHerVote

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it.

Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie.

We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about.

He's pathetic.

I can’t wrap my head around why Democrats are backing this terrible bill.

Over 100 survivors signed a letter pleading with lawmakers to vote NO on SB 6239. Not lobbying. BEGGING to be heard.

Their message: don’t cut justice for survivors to balance the budget.

What I love about Bishop William Barber, Repairers Of The Breach and the Poor Peoples Campaign is that their rallies are not focused on listening to politicians, organizational leaders and entertainers. They focus on people impacted by public policy. This man opposes Donald Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

If you want to understand Donald Trump, MAGA and the GOP, just watch this clip from this 2006 Robert Deniro-directed film, “The Good Shepherd.” Enough said. I play this on #RolandMartinUnfiltered all the time.

I think the United States Government owes the American People financial compensation for the BS we’ve been enduring under the Trump Regime.
Everybody has had to endure one way or the other, some more than others, but we have all had to deal with various aspects of Trumps doing.

One thing I think abt a lot: Just imagine how well the economy would be doing if Trump hadn’t spent all of last year trashing the great economy he inherited? Tariffs, huge govt layoffs, slashing research/medical/science spending, torturing US cities with immigration raids. Economy would be humming!
