We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

Something drastic needs to happen before the violence resumes and becomes lawless anarchy. It's clear and present danger right now, no more attempts at reasoning with the willingly ignorant.

The sad truth of the matter is that liberals do have it right, and we’re gonna end up right back here in the same place in 5, 10, 50 years. You can’t stop progress. This is like a reactionary lurch that will fail

We know Disputing tax legislation as if the country is not currently on fire is not going to catch people’s outrage Trump is breaking the law daily. Call him out on it. Call him a felon. Ask where Melania is. Embarrass him Let’s go. Or get out of the way

Agreed, but, we need to get more creative on the messaging. You all are preaching to choir. That doesn’t work with 1/3rd of the country. ESPECIALLY on social media. You and Bern are my fave’s in the senate, but are becoming irrelevant with the Zoomers. Experiment with a little “shock and awe”.

As I have mentioned before, in my opinion there should be no tax breaks for anyone making $1M per year. I know that the Republicans would vote that down, and they still believe trickle down economics would work, but the tax cut money for the wealthy NEVER trickles down, NEVER!!!!

Don't let up.... WE are counting on you to fight. We all are for better govt, accountability, and common sense spending cut. We are also for TAXing the Rich at higher levels, not lower. They already get away with ... everything.

We need a bill introduced to limit his spending on personal trips at the expense taxpayers. There should be a monthly cap for his plane costs and security detail for personal trips, vanity trips, sporting event appearances,and back and forth to FL. Anything beyond this budget he needs to pay for.

Where are the vaunted Federal Employees UNION's Leadership Why aren't they filing Lawsuit after Lawsuit against the administration and Eio and his Hackers who have No authority by congress to do any of the things they are doing Firing Federal Employees Hacking and stealing classified Intel

The Republicans' priorities are clear, and they're not about helping you.

The Democratic Difference@demdifference.bsky.social

Trump GOP: Screwing you, enriching billionaires, betraying America • Price-hiking tariffs • Tax breaks for billionaires • Pardons for violent Jan. 6 criminals • Job-killing halt to infrastructure projects • Turnover of power and private data to Musk • Cuts to health, consumer protection, education

You are playing by the old playbook. You need to act. You need to stop placating Republicans and start acting like the enemy is inside, murdering our constitution.

Don’t cut jobs-Cut billionaire welfare! Sometimes when something doesn’t sell you RAISE to price. We need a minimum or flat tax for billionaires. 0 loopholes - 0 write offs. It is the cost of doing business in America. Billionaires need to pay for the system from which they profit.

Chris Kluwe did more to raise awareness of things by doing than by talking. So go and do something instead of talking. I don't see you getting CFPB up and running again, so what good is talking about it? America needs results - actually fixing it is more important than talking about it.

bsky.app/profile/coop... Extreme wealth disparities threaten democracy. We must ensure the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes & that workers are compensated fairly. When ppl aren’t struggling so much, they’re less likely to turn to figures like Trump—who ultimately makes things worse.

The Cooperative Economy@cooperatives.bsky.social

You are right on the money! If people were being paid a living wage, they would not see an appeal to fascism. We must strengthen worker power and implement a powerful form of economic democracy so that unelected billionaires cannot enrich themselves at the expense of the common worker.

As long as I have existed, Republicans have had two defining traits: (1) hypocrisy and (2) endless lust for wealth and power. There is a reason why America and especially American economy is fucked every time when Republicans are in control.

They engaged in 5 separate KKKoup attempts at DOJ, DOD, State Attorneys General, Fake Elector Schemes, the Neo-Confederate attack on Jan6th. SyneManchin halted returning the VRA, stolen by a supremacist court. BillioNazis got their Kleptocratic dictatorship, they promised harm, the cuts are attacks.

Senator Warren, at a Democratic Town Hall, one Citizen told his Representative "I know what John Lewis would do. Get Arrested." Btw, today is John Lewis's Birthday and the question is: What will you do?

I voted for you in the 2020 primary because you were a fighter. Right now, we need you to fight substantially harder than you’re prepared to fight. None of this gotcha stuff. We’re talking really smart nefarious stuff. Up your game!

They don't need more money. They can't spend what they have, it just sits around does nothing and doesn't help the economy by sitting around. Everyday people live on a way smaller salary. They can too.

They are in the minority. It's cool to be in the pitchfork crowd, but there are LIMITS to what they can do. This was something that they could do to send a message to voters. This combined w/ a now bad economy sends a message to get more ppl w/ us and against them. This is part of messaging.

It is not merely that the Republicans are going to devastate average Americans by giving away our tax money to millionaires. It is also a criminal plot by the president and fElon Musk to steal money for themselves.

If our government systems are bought and paid for to maintain the interests of the wealthiest in the world Then how can we reform a system that is ultimately controlled by billionaires? This example just solidifies my views that we can’t vote our way out of fascism and oligarchy

Senator-it is time for some “Good Trouble”. Please get every single Democrat to walk out of the SOTU when Trump starts to speak. He doesn’t deserve the honor. Not after January 6th, not after selling out Ukraine and more.

Spineless individuals. Fearful of what the fat orange cupcake is going to do to them on Twitter. Or Leon Husk backing a different candidate. If they were afraid of actual violence against them, they could use their power to have the violent offenders jailed for conspiracy to commit violence.

Senator Warren, how long are we going to stand by and allow Trump and Musk, an unelected, apartheid loving criminal rape our country of all its resources. Former president's, VPs, AGs, senators, and legal scholars have to find a way to remove them. They are dismantling America from top to bottom.

Performative parliamentary measures are not going to get it done. Take the lead in organizing massive, meaningful protests in Washington and elsewhere. Millions are waiting for a direct call to action. You and your colleagues can make that happen.

No more billionaires! Millionaires arent needed either. There needs to be wage cap. Any earnings over a million goes back to the people! And they dont get to pick some charity. It must go back into things like education and free housing!
