The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Proud to stand with these three Michigan champions for a politics of solidarity that focuses relentlessly on the needs of working people. All three of them are hustling to turn out voters until the minute polls close tomorrow. (1/3)

Go Vote, Michigan. Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate. Will Lawrence for U.S. House (MI-07). Donavan McKinney for U.S. House (MI-13). Vote Tuesday, August 4!

Oliver Larkin, Florida congressional candidate: “If we’re going to talk about children being raped, then we need to hold this pedophile president, Donald Trump, accountable and all those that have been implicated by the Epstein files.” 🔥 #SheShed

Haley Stevens has benefited from nearly $60 million in outside spending (about 1/2 from AIPAC alone). Given that those outside groups are mostly supporting her because of positions she shares with Mike Rogers, that $$$ will dry up in the general. If she wins the primary, Dems lose the general.

Cannot get over how electable just drifting away from a constituent who asked you a challenging question makes you.

AIPAC has spent a record amount in this race to elect my opponent because she'll be a reliable vote to a foreign government that is aiding, arming, and abetting a genocide. I want your tax dollars spent on schools in Michigan, healthcare in Michigan, and roads in Michigan.

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

Hot take: Republicans will say EXACTLY the same things about centrists that they will about DSA members (i.e. call them commies). The difference is that DSA candidates will actually fight for the things real people WANT and thus will be less vulnerable than do-nothing centrists to bullshit attacks.

The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.

There are two competing ideological poles on the Democratic Party right now. The establishment (e.g., Schumer, Jeffries) and the DSA-affiliated left (Sanders, AOC, Mamdani). It’s literally impossible to objectively come to the conclusion that it’s the DSA side that is a gift to MAGA.

While serving on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Jared Moskowitz bought Lockheed Martin stock FOUR separate times. Those holdings have soared as Trump started his illegal war with Iran, a war Moskowitz cheered on while mocking Ro Khanna's bill to stop it as the "Ayatollah Protection Act."
