We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued.
66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job.
Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone.
Pay Black women. Period.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

You can either cut out the billionaire tax cuts or gut Social Security and Medicare but you have to do one or the other to get a deficit neutral bill.
Why isn’t MAGA demanding the GOP prioritize their new working class base over their real masters, the billionaires??

The CBO estimates that Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which is stuffed with tax cuts skewed to the wealthy, will explode the deficit by $2.4T and kick 10.9M people off their health insurance.
This has always been the GOP strategy: socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer.
They're ignoring immigration laws.
They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process.
They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population.
