This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

Right now, we have a tax code that forces firefighters and teachers to pay a higher share of their income than many billionaires and major corporations.
We need to change that - because our economy requires it, and because it is simply the right thing to do.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.
EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions
The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

So the Trump Administration DOUBLE-REDACTED the Epstein Files
Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

Democrats have mostly focused on immigration through a civil rights lens in the past 20 years or so while Republicans have made it a public safety issue. But few Democrats have made an economic case for it. Hell, even Bernie isn’t that much of a fan of H-1B visas.
MAGA dimwit Peter Navarro accidentally admitted Trump-MAGA's claim about immigrants taking jobs is a scam. And as @pkrugman.bsky.social notes, not only is job growth down; *manufacturing* jobs are also down. The whole MAGA story is in collapse.
