1 year ago today, @realDonaldTrump & Republicans pulled a heist on the American people when they passed the #GOPTaxScam.

They said it would would help working families. Then they stole money from the middle class to help their billionaire donors instead. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
I don’t think a single working family in this country should pay more taxes so that big corporations & billionaires can pay less. But that’s what the #GOPTaxScam did – raising taxes on some middle class families & handing out $1.5 TRILLION in tax giveaways to the ultra wealthy.
In November, voters took the first step to hold Congress accountable for turning their backs on the American people. Now Congress can do more to help level the playing field, like passing the Accountable Capitalism Act & our plan to #EndCorruptionNow.

Dear Howard Schultz: if you’re looking for bold ideas with broad bipartisan appeal for your “centrist” presidential campaign, may I suggest my #UltraMillionaireTax? vox.com/2019/2/4/18210…
With the revenue from the #UltraMillionaireTax, we could provide universal childcare for working parents across America. A path to student debt relief for those who need it. Down payments on a Green New Deal & Medicare for All. Schultz might not need those things. America does.
Middle-class families are sick of stagnant wages & exploding costs. They're sick of a Washington that works only for the wealthy & the well-connected. They don't want to replace a self-absorbed billionaire President with another one. Americans want real change. We should listen.

While @realDonaldTrump brags about his "nuclear button," his admin keeps increasing the risk of nuclear war. The White House wants billions to upgrade nukes, the national security advisor hates arms control treaties, & we just began withdrawing from one. nytimes.com/2019/02/01/us/…
Yes, Russia has violated the INF Treaty. But our response shouldn't be to walk away, let Russia deploy as many missiles as it wants, & put our European allies back in the crosshairs of conflict.
Here's how we prevent a nuclear conflict:

1. Don't build new nukes.
2. Don't undermine arms control treaties that protect America & our allies.
3. Commit to never using a nuke first.

@realDonaldTrump is doing the opposite on all three. And that makes America less safe.

#BlackHistoryMonth starts today: a time to honor African Americans and their powerfully important contributions to our country. All month, we’ll be celebrating black women & the barriers they've broken – often in the face of systemic racism.
Let’s start #BlackHistoryMonth by honoring Fannie Lou Hamer: a fierce civil rights leader. Fannie Lou championed women’s rights, voting rights & workers' rights. She endured violence to help thousands of people register to vote & fight illegal segregation. washingtonpost.com/news/retropoli…
Today on her birthday, we celebrate a powerfully important voice in the fight for racial justice: #RosaParks. Her courageous act on a Montgomery bus changed the civil rights movement & showed our country the power of protest. cnn.com/2018/12/01/us/… #BlackHistoryMonth

My big new bill, the Accountable Capitalism Act, would restore the idea that big American companies should look out for their workers, not just their shareholders. Why do we need to pass this bill? Just look at what’s happened since the #GOPTaxScam passed. vox.com/2018/8/2/17639…
The #GOPTaxScam showered more than a trillion dollars on big American corporations – a huge windfall for wealthy shareholders and executives. But workers have seen their real wages go DOWN. washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…
Let’s look at some individual companies: @WellsFargo got a $3.4 billion boost from the #GOPTaxScam. It turned around and announced plans to close 900 branches, while rewarding executives and shareholders with tens of billions of dollars in stock buybacks.

American families’ costs are going up faster than any slight wage increase. Further proof the #GOPTaxScam was for the wealthiest few and corporations—not the middle class and those trying to get there.
If @realDonaldTrump and Republicans in Congress really wanted to boost wages and create more good-paying jobs, they should have invested in infrastructure instead of lining the pockets of wealthy shareholders and CEOs. democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
If @realDonaldTrump and Republicans in Congress really wanted to boost wages and create more good-paying jobs, they should have invested in education—especially paying America’s teachers the salaries they deserve. democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
