BREAKING: Billionaires in America now own a record $9.2 TRILLION in wealth. That's up 32% over the last year. The country's GDP has only risen 6% in that time. Tax breaks for the wealthy don't trickle down to working people. They just create trillionaires.

BREAKING: Harlan Crow and his family's average yearly political contributions went up 862% after Citizens United was decided in 2010. Who provided a deciding vote for that case? Justice Clarence Thomas, a "family friend" they showered with luxury travel and gifts for 20+ years.

BREAKING: The wealth of the four richest Americans hit $1 TRILLION yesterday. It's the first time in history the net worth of just four men—Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Zuckerberg—has hit the trillions. These four men were worth $74 billion twelve short years ago. Tax billionaires.

BREAKING: The IRS has recovered $263 MILLION from a single wealthy tax cheat. The individual had reportedly run an offshore tax evasion scheme for over a decade. The IRS' whistleblower program helped expose the scheme. This is why funding IRS tax enforcement is so important.

Elon Musk stopped paying into Social Security 4 minutes into the year. That’s how long it took him to make $168,600 and reach the wage cap on contributions. Raise the cap and tax billionaires.

The cost of eggs is higher because Kroger, Costco, Albertsons, Target, and Walmart raised prices. These five corporations have reported over $29 billion in profits. Trump wants to give them a $1.7 billion yearly tax break. Yes, really.

NEW: A giant, radical memo from House Budget Committee Republicans was recently leaked. It’s a menu of all the tax breaks they want to give to the wealthy and corporations—and all the stuff they could cut to pay for it. Everything you need to know, a thread 🧵

BREAKING: 150 billionaire families have now poured a record-breaking $1.9 BILLION into the 2024 election. That's $700 million more than 600+ billionaires spent on the 2020 election. Billionaires shouldn't get to buy our elections. End Citizens United. Tax billionaires.

BREAKING: America's 708 billionaires are now worth $4.8 trillion after gaining $1.8 trillion, up 62%, during the pandemic. That wealth growth alone could pay for over half of the Democrats' $3.5 trillion budget plan. Don't tell us we can't afford to invest in working families.
