When I need to better understand a subject I like to rely on a professional and NOT a politician masquerading as a doctor, a public health official or a lawyer. While it does not require a rocket scientist to know Justice Clarence Thomas is corrupt, I do like the idea of asking a constitutional lawyer if he can be held to account, given that Chief Justice Roberts is of the opinion that they are a law unto themselves. And the American people have no right to hold them accountable. #DemsAct #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #FAM46

.@collazophilly with @NextGenAmerica discusses the importance of passing a #YouthAgenda to uplift young Americans. Rafael cites the #ChildTaxCredit which lifted 2.9million children, specifically 1.2 million of which are Latino, out of poverty.

“During 2021, child poverty fell to a record low of 5.2%. 2.9 million children were lifted out of poverty due to the Child Tax Credit, and about 1.2 million of them were Latino.”—@BrayanLRosaRod1 talks about the importance of advocating for tax credit policies. #Changemakers23

Did you know that an estimated average of 20% of U.S. households are leaving #EITC money on the table? Don’t let this be you! 🔎 Verify your eligibility on #EITCAwarenessDay. bit.ly/EITC-ASST

The #AmericanRescuePlan made many changes to the #ChildTaxCredit, including larger amounts per child & full refundability at $0 income—making the poorest kids eligible. If current law's CTC was adjusted for inflation, it would do little for poverty w/o full refundability at $0:
