Republicans gave $132 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% in 2027.
With that money, we could have extended ACA tax credits for over 20 million people next year and still have $100 billion left over.

While it’s never simple to draw historical parallels from past eras to the present, it appears McCarthy-like actions are recurring today. During the Red Scare, the focus was alleged communists. Today, it's just dissent. Critics of Trump are being targeted.

They’re blaming Dems for the shutdown, as if that stopped them from doing the job. They were still getting paid, they could have been working the entire time.
