Households in the top 5%, with incomes over $320,000, would receive roughly HALF of the benefits of extending Trump's expiring tax cuts.
How are Republicans planning to pay for this?
With massive cuts to programs that the rest of America relies on.
Trickle up economics.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Please stop pretending this man has some grand plan. Lest we forget, he has bankrupt six companies! He’s upset that Europe has usurped him as the ones who will bring peace, and he looks small and impotent. His moves are disastrous for democracy and our country!

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Cassidy—a doctor—has violated his Oath and is a yes on Kennedy.
Kennedy is now almost certain to be confirmed.
People will die because of this; Kennedy at DHHS will cause deaths, full stop.
The crazy thing is, no one even doubts it.
But also no one cares, so here we are.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass
