The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

How about we only file state tax returns in Apr! Send an EMAIL in lieu of FTR that “we were recently made aware of a data breach and are withholding filing until it has been resolved”Change the subject line from “Fork in the road” to “ There’s a Hole in the Bucket” 168m filers cant all go to jail!

We the people have a simple idea too, impeach Trump and return democracy, deport and ban Muskrat from the U.S. including doing business here and tax the hell out of the rich to fix the deficit instead of using our hard earned money to do it. Please and thank you.

The way you worded this literally makes the dumb people confused. You need to word it like this. "The Senate just voted on a bill that says Billionaires don't deserve tax cuts. Dems said that billionaires don't deserve tax cuts, and Republicans said that they do deserve tax cuts". /1

I am no grammar expert, but you need to word your posts for the folks who lack basic reading comprehension. The way this was worded was good, but could easily make someone of a lower level of understanding confused.

If you make $1 BILLION dollars in a year, you should have the honor of paying MORE taxes and supporting the country and it's people that gave you the opportunity to make that kind of money.

You are fooling yourself if you think the left is trying to do anything to help the middle class. They are sitting in their offices in DC and twiddling their thumbs. They periodically take to the floor to give a speech denouncing #FFFOTUS but they have done nothing to stop him. Get out and march.

I think that the Senate Democrats should have introduced a bill that would have exempted anyone who makes $1M in a year from getting a tax break. It would have sent a much clearer picture to the country of who should be getting the tax cuts. The rich don’t need the tax cuts, we do.

Look, Flip a desk and call someone a butt face! These aren’t normal times or real republicans. They don’t want to work for us and it’s either democrats convince them to get their act together or the people with torches and pitchforks will. (Metaphorically and peacefully)

We also need the money they took from our SNAP benefits back. Prices are up 15.5% and I got cut by 14.5%. The reason on the government document I received said this: "due to the 2.5% increase received in FY 2024". I need help with that math. Also, need help with food.

Time to bring this to your congressperson just like folks Georgia did! bsky.app/profile/deka...

It’s truly refreshing to see that people (even if they voted that way) are finally speaking up. Let’s see if that congressman does the right thing. If you live there, make sure your voice is heard, loud and clear! amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

I have a better idea: "Death Penalty for Billionaires". No, this is not a call to go take them out. Rather, it's the idea that having over 999 million should be a crime. 1B is too much concentrated power. Arrest billionaires, let them keep 999 million and divest the rest to get their freedom back.

honestly, a billion is way too high, there should be extreme tax penalties for anybody making more than 10-ish million a year, and holding more than 50 million total. Billionaires should not exist, and we should tax them into the ground when they do.

We have to fight for Medicaid. 40% of new mothers in CA rely on Medi-Cal for wellness checkups and care, especially premies. Republicans believe in forced birth and then want mothers and babies to suffer. Elders in care facilities rely on it to. Should they be dumped on the street? 🛑

So you agree with out them putting in provisions that they will follow the budget that you will vote NO. Also might want to hold a press conference and link some video from YouTube on her to call out the Republicans that voted for it. This is not a time to be civil and not call out names.

You can’t win dictatorship with democratic proposals. You know nothing against Trump’s ideology is going to get passed. Democrats need to use dictatorship undermining tactics.

Republicans have gone full on authoritarian, now support Russia over Canada, and gave a drug addicted billionaire access to all of our taxpayer programs and my personal data. I think we need a new strategy from the Democrats beyond arguing over taxes. I may have no money to pay taxes on.

You have more power than you know. Authority comes from above, respect comes from those around you, and power comes from inside you. You are able to communicate. BTW, what she posted about was taking a vote. That is what they have the power to do for us. More? tell her what you want.

Will Democrat senators stand strong and refuse to capitulate to the Republicans? Do not agree to any budget that harms regular Americans. Closing down the government will rest in the greedy paws of Republicans, not Democrats.

70% of the world's battery supply is controlled by the CCP. Right now Tesla is on CCP allocation. If they cut off battery supply, Tesla is finished. If Tesla is finished, Elon's other money losing toys like SpaceX, Starlink, X tweeter will also collapse like a house of cards.

The contrast is clear. When Democrats are in charge, they expand healthcare, invest in infrastructure, bolster consumer protection, strengthen workers' rights, and prioritize an American economy that creates jobs and lifts wages. With Trump and Republicans in charge, the billionaires win.

The Democratic Difference@demdifference.bsky.social

Trump II: Screwing you, enriching billionaires, betraying America • Price-hiking tariffs • Billionaire tax breaks • Pardons for violent criminals • Job-killing halts to infrastructure projects • Corrupt turnover of power & private data to Musk • Cuts to healthcare, consumer protection, education

The “populist party” is not so populist. Their real loyalty is to the billionaires. Hence why we have a DOGE billionaire destroying agencies that are challenging his own personal interests.

So please tell me what is going to be done about it? I get a whole lot of requests for donations to various campaigns but we can't wait that long. We need leadership NOW

Can you even imagine the lower than life A-hole that makes over ONE BILLION DOLLARS AND takes a handout from the gov’t? Meanwhile most Americans go hungry because they can’t put their pride to the side and take $50-100 dollars in food stamps…WTF????

when we know that #DonaldTrump 's attraction to money is irrepressible,unhealthy,that he has the ear of the billionaires who contributed to his campaign, that the Republicans support him,it's not surprising that the latter do not serve the interests of Americans while claiming the opposite:hypocrisy

Thank you Elizabeth for always fighting for middle and low wage workers. It’s wonderful to have you in the front of fight for economic justice. You would have my vote if I lived in your state

Congressional republicans have no soul. They jumped the shark from the day they broke their oaths and refused Obama’s Supreme Court nominee. It’s gotten worse every day since. Fascism is a journey, that republicans and other corrupt racists have forced the rest of us on.

This is a waste of time. I’m all for taxing billionaires. But now is not the time to score hypothetical points for fundraising. Now is the moment to do your job and stop an insane person from completely wrecking our nation. Please do your job? Please?

SAY THE WORD NAZI IN PUBLIC!! Where is the "and yet she persisted" Senator of the uninted states of America Elizabeth Warren that made me like you?? ARE YOU PAID OFF?? BE AN AMERICAN YOU COWARD

With all due respect, it is PAST DUE to change the approach and narrative of delivery and communication with your constituents! We are not stupid. Here is a proposed change of the same message: Today Democratic Party DID the following.. a,b,c to combat, destroy and end republican proposal of xyz.

Too bad there wasn't anyone to fight for us, help us organize and protest. You can constantly complain, or you can stand up! Oh, ok. You think you are, but you guys are writing letters n shi whilst our democracy is being DESTROYED! Do I question your patriotism, or your judgement here?

I respect you immensely and know you are fighting a good fight for us. But government no longer works the way it did a month ago; holding votes no longer has meaning. Extreme action is required now. Please, please do whatever you can to stop this coup.

Thank you for standing in solidarity & showing the true MAGAts lack of any type of empathy to others! Keep voting down the billionaire welfare program! We need you to stand strong in solidarity against them! Protect the fragile of We the people! Spread R 🙏to Dem/ Independent caucus!

Lady, until you go down to the floor and raise point of order after point of order, appealing the ruling of EACH ONE, everything you say is empty political posturing. You are almost certainly the smartest person in that chamber. I KNOW you know you can stop the GOP cold. GO DO IT.

-Points of order, then APPEAL the ruling. Then another. Then another -Request every amendment be read into the record. Conference reports too, if applicable. -Live quorum calls, & have Democrats vacate the floor so the GOP have to get off their butts & go to the floor. DO IT. Don't posture. DO IT.

They don't care. They are still thinking trickle down works. And they've fooled a bunch of fools into thinking that too. If you want to help, get Massachusettes out of the Union. We are 31 days in and we have multiple Constitutional crises on our ands and a court system that has been powerless.

It seems like McConnell was able to deny the Democratic majority & Democratic presidents almost anything. What is the strategy to shut down Trump’s attempted looting of the Treasury & gutting of the Constitution?

Well I guess the average working Repub doesn’t agree. Think if you had a billion dollars…and most people had nothing. What would you do? I’d be paying people’s heating bills, prescriptions and their kids’ college…so they could save that money for retirement. But I’m an evil Dem🤷‍♀️

Keep making Republican politicians put it on the record that they care more for rich billionaires and corporations that “donate” to them and not the voters who put them there to work for us all.

I got a simple but silly solution. Give every American that is not a millionaire or a billionaire a million dollar stimulus check. That's around 305 million people. Then for the next 4 years.The orange Mickey flicky and the nazi can do Whatever they want and cut whatever they want. 😂

They regulate billionaires that is what they are destroying it not just about money. They want to poison our food, education and healthcare. You have a million dollars but no way to protect you from someone advertising a knee replacement with metal that slowly kills you.

You are a 100% right? But like I said this was just something silly. And there is no way they would ever do. They are going to give the billionaires. And millionaires tax Breaks. The the truth is, we need people. They care about us in office. And I believe she is one For America, not millionaires.

Great, same old fucking song from same hymn book. Now, fucking do something about the coup that’s happening under your watch. Where is the Democratic leadership, form a shadow Gov, push back publicly with news conferences every day, tell us what you are doing to save us?
