1) Raising taxes on corporations would make the tax code more progressive while helping to generate the revenue needed to help finance investments that would promote an equitable recovery
#MOG

2) The dramatic corporate tax cuts of 2017 provided few benefits to the economy in general and to low- and middle-income households
3) Raising corporate taxes by a modest amount will not undermine the economic recovery and, in fact... make the economy stronger

FRAUD?
Invisible company owned by Rudy Giuliani got taxpayer-backed #PPP money — but where did it go?
#Giuliani's payroll company got a PPP loan from a Trump-friendly bank — but lists no employees.
Was it fraud?

Either #Giuliani directly employs a number of people through this unknown company, and pays them substantial salaries, or the company misrepresented its finances to the government when it applied for the loan — which would likely constitute fraud, a felony.

Speaking of trolls… #Russia's siloviki amassed a vast slush fund under Putin to serve both personal greed & geopolitical strategy. Following the money, new book by Catherine Belton shows how Russians plundered Russian businesses & continue to corrupt western govts & leaders.
“It looks like the whole of US politics is for sale,” a former senior Russian banker tells Belton. “We believed in western values… But it turned out everything depended on money, and all these values were pure hypocrisy.”

After a 3 day weekend & 5 days of public statements about all the things they would do to help, McConnell's Senate floated a bill that had few (if any) of the protections that were promised.

The protections they did include had no guarantees, could be overridden by the executive branch, and in some cases didn't require any auditing, transparency, or allow oversight until *after* the 2020 election.

Democrats, predictably, killed the bill as expected, giving the GOP an avenue to shift blame and rewrite history by claiming the Democrats are playing politics and obstructing solutions while people are dying.

Ok so call the Coronavirus a "hoax." Keep beating the drum about the annual flu death numbers across all conservative platforms. Put a guy who barely believes in science in charge of everything, assisted by two guys whose biggest concern is the stock market.
1/
1/
Then, as long as fewer people die from the Coronavirus than the flu this year, any measures taken are a "success." If/when life, panic, and supply chains stabilize, blame the Dems and the media for blowing the problem out of proportion and spooking the markets.
2/
2/
And if it does spiral out of control, blame Pence and the Democrats for not doing more, drop Pence from the 2020 ticket, and campaign on the Dems failire to help mitigate the problem.

@SpeakerPelosi He's attempting to be a dictator!! I truly believe that he premeditated his actions as President for decades. He planned all the ways he'd be able to take advantage of his position. Why you guys aren't ending this is beyond all logic!?! You're allowing him to be above law!!!...
@SpeakerPelosi ...Had this been anyone else with all these investigations, and blatant wrongdoings happening right in front of our eyes, they'd a been LONG GONE!!! Seriously, replace any of the headlines or investigations that have Trump's name, with the name Obama, and shit would've hit the...

The EPA has delayed implementation for 2 years as the agency “clarifies” (read: eliminates)the rule.The decision is a clear gift to industrial polluters who loudly protested the reg in 2015 & GOP lawmakers who have falsely claimed the rule regulates “puddles on private property.”
