Awaiting my free stuff

@BernieSanders Lie According to ProPublica, Musk paid 30% effective income tax rate $455M / $1520M = 29.9%

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, recently paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%. That is less than the average truck driver, nurse and teacher. YES, we must demand the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@TPCarney Just "unnecessary"

Unneccessarily BIG. Too tall!

@samstein Just "unnecessary"....

The New York Times takes an architectural look at the coming White House ballroom and finds there is a lot of ornamental stairs to no where and faux windows with bathroom stalls behind them

@McFaul More scientists in the private sector v. govt sector is a problem?

This is how we lose the 21st century to China.

@GavinNewsom Why is everything expensive? Is it the 2.4% inflation under Trump or the 21.5% inflation under Biden/Harris

This aged well!

@RockChartrand Plus her statement regarding "tax rate" for billionaires being lower than a teacher's is false A single teacher without dependents earning $72K pays under 10% effective tax rate The top 0.001% (1500 tax payers) pay 23%

She’s doing three things at once and hoping no one notices. First, she blurs rate and amount. A billionaire can show a lower effective rate in a given year because of how capital gains are realized, while still paying vastly more in absolute dollars than thousands of teachers combined. The burden isn’t remotely comparable. Second, she strips out timing. Most billionaire wealth isn’t taxed yearly because it isn’t realized yearly. Tax systems don’t treat unrealized gains as income. So she compares a steady W2 salary to fluctuating, often deferred gains and calls it unfair. Third, she redirects attention. Instead of asking where trillions in already collected tax revenue go, she frames the problem as “not enough taken.” That conveniently shields spending, waste, and incentives from scrutiny. So the real question isn’t “why aren’t we taxing more?” It’s “why does more revenue keep producing worse outcomes?” That’s the part this rhetoric is designed to avoid.

@SenatorWarnock It's illegal to be illegal, and that doesn't stop people from being illegal

It's already illegal to vote if you're not a citizen. They're trying to convince us there are droves of people who are willing to risk deportation and the abuse that we are seeing from ICE to vote illegally. It defies credulity and it's simply not true.

@NoContextBrits Just one?

You have to remove one item. Which is it?

@TheRealDudja Just one.... ACDC

@ArtCandee Celebrating murderous dictatorships

Spotted at a No Kings protest in Durham, North Carolina! Epic creativity!

@katieporterca @TeamKatiePorter Because you’re a psycho and now want to run California

This isn't just a talking point for me—it’s personal. I became a single parent when my kids were 2, 4, and 6. I’ll never forget the peace of mind my child care providers gave me. They didn't just watch my kids; they helped them flourish.

@peterbakernyt @YLindaQiu How many did they not find

Fact checking fraud claims: Heritage Foundation documented 1,620 cases of voter fraud from 1982-2025, including 100 cases of noncitizens voting. That's about 0.000008% of more than 1.3 billion votes cast in presidential elections in that time. @YLindaQiu nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/…

@spongeworthy2 @PramilaJayapal Then they’ll argue to raise social security tax income limit, but it’s not welfare

@tesicram @PramilaJayapal They'll count SS contribution into the tax rate of ordinary workers but scream like banshees when you respond, "Oh, so you're saying that's not a retirement contribution but welfare instead?" They're dishonest as hell and consistency means jack to them.

In the richest country in the history of the world, why the hell do we allow billionaires to pay a lower tax rate than public school teachers? That's not an accident. That's a policy choice. Tax the rich.

@OldLady1740728 @PramilaJayapal There’s no such this as true tax rate. It’s an invention by idiots

@tesicram @PramilaJayapal True tax rate was 3.27% which is far less than 20%.

@OldLady1740728 @PramilaJayapal In 2021 he paid $10B in taxes. Eventually he has to exercise his options or they expire

@tesicram @PramilaJayapal This:

@maziehirono Then why march for “No Kings”

Donald Trump is not, never will be, and has never been a king. #NoKings

@lawrencenoel83 @PramilaJayapal To take "right-offs" you have to report your "pre-right-off" income, so one's entire, pre-write-off income is still reported

@tesicram @PramilaJayapal 23.8% is misleading. Billionaires use loopholes to get around paying taxes. It’s called right-offs. All the players on Dallas Cowboys team are right-offs for the owner. Jersey numbers and last name patches are for IRS purposes.

@BradSanJuan @PramilaJayapal @grok

@tesicram @PramilaJayapal @grok accurate?

@RepJayapal You’ll have to arrest millions of us

We not only need to hold Trump accountable for his attacks on our immigrant communities, we also need to hold every single Republican, corporate CEO, and Trump supporter accountable for being complicit and refusing to take a stand. We cannot let anyone involved off the hook for this campaign of terror.
