Democracy dies in oligarchy. #TaxBillionaires

Right-wingers will fear-monger all day long about these state "Millionaires Tax" ballot measures, but the numbers show they yield very positive results. #TaxJustice

"Republicans took away healthcare from millions to pay for making ICE the highest-funded law enforcement agency in America. Seriously -- they gave ICE an extra $75 billion in the Big Beautiful Bill that slashed healthcare. What a load of crap." - Rep. Chris Deluzio #TaxJustice

Democracy dies in oligarchy. #TaxBillionaires

"We will be litigating the impacts of The Big Ugly Bill and holding folks accountable for taking away healthcare from Americans and cutting food assistance in order to fund a rogue government agency that wears masks while terrorizing our communities and kidnapping our neighbors." - Kristen Crowell

The numbers are almost hard to fully comprehend: Jeff Bezos makes in one week what the Washington Post loses in 5 years. And yet he laid off one-third of the newspaper's staff today. All while avoiding billions in taxes. Welcome to the oligarchy. #TaxBillionaires

This is what oligarchy looks like: #TaxBillionaires

The GOP Congress set aside $800 million in bonuses for ICE, with individual payouts up to $50,000. Meanwhile, the average American bonus is around $2,500, if you even get one. They can’t fund healthcare because they are lining the pockets of an agency that is terrorizing our communities.

We’ll keep it short and sweet: Kevin Warsh is a disastrous choice to oversee monetary policy as Chair of the Federal Reserve.

While the president screams nonsense about a "Democrat hoax", one thing is for sure - more tax cuts for billionaires who don't need them and billions of dollars for ICE to terrorize our communities is not helping American families pay for education, housing or healthcare. Read more: bit.ly/4briRzA

"Alex Pretti's murder is the predictable result of unchecked federal force backed by congressional funding and political indifference. We cannot relent until federal forces have been withdrawn from our cities, and the agents and officials encouraging this violence have been held accountable."

Another year at Davos has come and gone - and it was another year when the global elite avoided the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance. #TaxBillionaires

Remember in November: They cut out the tax credits that help you afford your healthcare and instead used your tax dollars to terrorize your communities. #TaxJustice

"As the global elite mingle in the Swiss Alps this week, discontent over their lifestyle is percolating back home. And it’s manifesting in a renewed interest in wealth taxes targeting the super-rich." Read more here: bit.ly/4sSeALB #TaxJustice

"The number of billionaires has exploded, yet they often pay taxes at rates well below average - and so there is broad public support for taxing wealth." Read more here: bit.ly/3NVoMTr #TaxJustice

“There is majority backing for the tax across all parties: 71% percent of Democrats, 54% of Republicans, and 52% of Independents or other (third-party) voters support it,” said DHM researchers. Read more here: bit.ly/3NmCX3Y #TaxJustice

"The Big Ugly Bill will reduce income for the poorest 20 percent of Americans by an average of 3.8% while increasing income for the wealthiest 20% by 3.7%. That 7.5 percentage-point gap is not fiscal discipline. It is a deliberate upward redistribution." Read more here: bit.ly/3LoNiMd

The GOP's cruel inaction to stop skyrocketing health insurance costs are punishing millions of Americans 👇 "It's like the rug yanked out from under our feet the last couple of months," Matt Padula said.

Congress is rejecting almost all of the deepest cuts to programs that Trump requested for this year, turning back his efforts to slash funding for foreign aid, global health programs, scientific research, and the arts in a bipartisan repudiation 👇 Read more: https://bit.ly/3NNpbY4

“Billionaires and corporate interests have captured our political system, but our party’s anemic response to the rigging of our democracy and economy in favor of the ultra-wealthy has eroded our credibility with working people." - Sens. Murphy, Schiff, Warren, and Smith in a letter to colleagues

A powerful new essay by Fair Share America Executive Director Kristen Crowell exposes how shame fuels billionaire power -- and how breaking it can reshape public policy.

"We don't suffer from a poverty of resources in this country. We suffer from a lack of moral imagination." - Senator Raphael Warnock #TaxJustice

We need to #TaxBillionaires in every state across the country 👇 Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Fremont), usually an ally of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, supports the measure: “It’s a matter of values. We believe billionaires can pay a modest wealth tax so working-class Californians have Medicaid.”

"For most of my life, I thought my hardest moments -- the bills I couldn’t pay, the groceries I had to put back at the checkout line, the dental emergency that spiraled into medical debt and eventually cost me my home -- were personal failures." - Kristen Crowell #TaxJustice

We met Lynn Weidner on our summer bus tour. She is a home care worker with SEIU in Pennsylvania and she would see her insurance premiums double because of GOP inaction on the expiring ACA tax credits 👇

“Donald Trump’s cutting off $10 billion in child care funding to states is an act of breathtaking cruelty -- and it will do lasting damage to children, families, and our economy." - Kristen Crowell

In this economy, the rich get richer with reckless tax cuts while the rest of us struggle to afford basic necessities like groceries and healthcare 👇 #TaxJustice

We need these state "millionaires' taxes" across the country 👇 Since Trump’s reelection and the massive tax cut giveaways to the rich in the Big Ugly Bill, momentum has been building on the left around a so-called “millionaires’ tax:" a tax on incomes over $1 million. Read more: bit.ly/4pZnHIE

"Donald Trump's attacks on the IRS are good news for his billionaire buddies and giant tax prep companies — but bad news for everyone getting ready for tax season. People rely on the IRS to file their taxes and get their refunds quickly and easily. I'm pressing for answers on this." - Sen. Warren

"Recent polling shows a broad public turn toward progressive populism: the kind that seeks to reverse the upward redistribution of income and wealth to our billionaires and to make life’s necessities affordable for the majority of the American people." #TaxJustice

"I believe in free enterprise and I believe all Americans should be able to strive for financial success. But we have reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans contributing more." - Mitt Romney Read more: bit.ly/3MR1Lkc

"The consequences of this inaction are all too real: higher premiums and more uninsured families all within the current reality of a cost-of-living crisis. Congressional Republicans own that outcome. Voters will remember who stood in the way when they had the chance to do the right thing.”

WATCH: CNN’s Daniel Dale fact checks Trump's unhinged "presidential" address tonight as only he can. Dale can barely get through all the nonsense Trump spewed this evening. Spread this far and wide. #DonTheCon

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits. If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

A new report shows Trump's tariffs are crushing holiday budgets. Trees up 20%, gifts up 26%, Americans going into record debt - but sure, 'affordability is a hoax' 🙄 Read the full report at the link in the first comment.

Rep. Sarah McBride slams the GOP for being obsessed with spewing anti-trans bigotry while putting forth zero effort to make healthcare more affordable 👇

#DonTheCon strikes again 👇 "Trump promised Americans big tax refunds next year. Many filers — particularly those who could most use the financial boost — may soon be disappointed."

Because of Republican inaction on ACA tax credits, the average amount plan enrollees pay annually for premiums is estimated to more than double, from an average of $888 this year to $1,904 in 2026.

Aggressive tactics employed by Trump and his allies did not sit well with state lawmakers of both parties, who delivered a major political blow to national Republicans and their election-rigging scheme ahead of the midterms.

The Senate GOP just put a final nail in the AC’s casket. Never forget it.

"Today, Republicans in Congress gave working people a holiday gift no one asked for: higher health insurance premiums on top of already rising household costs. Meanwhile, billionaires and big corporations head into the new year with their gift—more tax breaks from GOP leaders." - Kristen Crowell
