ICYMI — 🚨 💰 “Trump’s tax agenda will add at least $5 Trillion to the debt”👇🏽🤔

AGAIN: They don’t care about the debt, they just want to cut programs for regular folks to make room for tax cuts for the rich.

(As Trump tweets “Balanced budget!” Like we’re all morons)

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

We love it when Republicans steal our good ideas to help everyday families like cutting TN's grocery tax.

But they also deleted the fiscally responsible part of our bill, offering no way to pay for it. So the GOP bill cuts the grocery tax — and cuts funding for roads & schools.

More than 4 million people to share $1.8 billion in refunds, the CFPB says. Here's what to know.
Payments to victims of Lexington Law and CreditRepair.com are the largest yet by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
