Tax. The. Rich.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Time for some more Governors to step up and help the people!
Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

And WHY is he not choosing to keep funding SNAP? Because weaponizing hunger and food insecurity are standard in the fascist playbook and Project 2025. Starve people into submission and set them against one another.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.
He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.
He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:
$100 billion
Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:
$100 billion
One is decried as "welfare." One is not.
Why?

Trump is executing people on the high seas by deeming them "enemy combatants" without any proof.
He's also called his political opponents — immigrants, Democrats, protesters — the "enemy within."
Put it together: How close is Trump to ordering attacks on them, too?

So far, Senate Democrats have remained strong and (nearly) unified in opposition to the GOP’s healthcare-crushing budget deal. We must keep reminding Dems we’re behind them as they fight for affordable care. Urge your Democratic senators to continue standing strong in the Trump Shutdown showdown. 👇
