- Reposted by EJAustenAll you need to know about the Republican tax plan: The wealthiest 5% would get tax breaks. Everyone else would see crucial health care and nutrition assistance programs slashed. Call your reps.
- Reposted by EJAustenThe Republican tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse. It would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich through a single law in our entire history. Stop this bill.

- Democrats now have a platform. "Taking Care of Each Other" Democrat Party must mobilize and start providing food handouts in local communities, get doctors to work at clinics for those who get thrown out of Medicaid. The food lines during the Depression is what sparked Roosevelt's New Deal. Do It!

- Reposted by EJAusten1/🧵 It’s not dysfunction. It’s design. The GOP uses a ruthless disinformation playbook to confuse, divide, and exhaust the public. They don’t want you informed—they want you disoriented. Here’s how their machine works—and how we expose it. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

- This is a refreshing article by Barron's about the devastating cuts proposed by GOP in the Budget Bill. This is political suicide. These vulnerable people will be in emergency rooms or standing in line at food pantries. Cuts don't make the problems go away. www.barrons.com/articles/med...

- Trump isn’t in good physical shape. He looks OLD, walks like a pigeon, falls asleep 💤 during important meetings, uses third grade vocabulary and talks in circles. Didn’t the media say this about Biden? #NappyDonny
- Republican Corruption at its finest. Also why were no Senators on this trip?
- Reposted by EJAustenIt’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid. While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️ x.com/i/broadcasts...

- Reposted by EJAustenWhat a surprise - Republicans waited until 1am to discuss their drastic cuts to Medicaid. If they aren’t taking healthcare from 13.7 million Americans and if this is good for all Americans, then why wouldn’t they want to talk about it when everyone’s watching? 🤔
- Reposted by EJAustenTonight Kilmar Abrego Garcia will try to fall asleep in a concentration camp in El Salvador because… the President of the United States sent him there with no due process and in defiance of the court.

- Reposted by EJAustenAlongside Trump and Musk, the following also went to Saudi Arabia
- Taxpayers funded this trip to Saudi Arabia and got nothing for it. Who got investments? Corporations did. Yet they get to pay less taxes in budget bill. All that winning for private sector not the public sector.
- This isn’t defensible for anyone who considers themselves a moral person.

- House lawmakers writing the upcoming budget bill just snuck in a provision that would wipe from the books every state law regulating artificial intelligence. www.levernews.com/gop-chooses-...
- Reposted by EJAustenMake no mistake: the House budget bill, as currently written, is effectively a full repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act clean energy measures. This renders all IRA tax credits as-good-as-dead. Goodbye nuclear industry. Goodbye US manufacturing investments. Hello higher energy prices.
- BIGGEST UGLIEST CRUELEST REPUBLICAN BUDGET BILL EVER - there is nothing beautiful in it
- Reposted by EJAustenThe House Republican's budget bill is starting to drop. It extends trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy while effectively crippling US manufacturing & energy industries and raising energy costs. It's effectively full repeal of the IRA. Here's tax portion waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/u... 🔌💡
- One of the best articles on the destructive nature of the Republican Budget Bill on America’s vulnerable citizens including disabled, children and the poor. It is stealing from the poor to make the richest Americans even richer. It is an unconscionable, immoral & indefensible piece of legislation.
- What are Americans getting in this budget bill? Major cuts to services. Grandad might be kicked out of nursing home. Children will go hungry with cuts to SNAP. Millions will lose health insurance due to Medicaid cuts. Our taxes won’t be reduced but the rich folks & corporations get a tax break.
- The House GOP tax/budget bill shreds the safety net to pay for regressive tax cuts. It may well be the largest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in a single bill, ever. Sounds pretty bad, no? Now consider what else is happening in the US economy right now www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
- Americans have a right to know where our personal data went. We need a major class action lawsuit. This is a huge violation and it is a crime to steal personal information. If Musk has taken this to feed his AI machine, it isn’t legal.

- Reposted by EJAustenThe U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Transportation are illegally forcing states to comply with the administration’s immigration policies or give up billions of dollars in funding for disaster relief and transportation. I’m suing to stop this unlawful overreach.

- Reposted by EJAustenWhen discussing the Qatari proposal to “gift” a plane to the US President, the only two relevant topics requiring discussion are professional ethics and level of corruption.
- Reposted by EJAustenJust FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

The union representing about 130 said staffers were aviation safety assistants, maintenance mechanics & nautical information specialists. Incompetence!

- Reposted by EJAustenAfter Mayor Baraka was arrested yesterday, DHS officials let us conduct our tour as is required by law. So despite the Admin’s attempts to spin this, they know we had every right to be there and enter the facility. If you ignore the spin, you’ll see there is only one accurate narrative - ours.
- Reposted by EJAustenNo matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.
