While I'm dreaming big dreams of #DemsDoGood, I really, really, really hope that Biden and the IRS start enforcing our tax laws. We could start here with @Heidi_Cuda 's article showing THE MERCER'S OWE 7 BILLION DOLLARS TO THE IRS bylinetimes.com/2020/12/01/the…
The Mercers installed Trump and incited an insurrection BECAUSE THEY WON'T PAY THEIR SEVEN BILLION DOLLAR TAX BILL. I feel like that should stop.
Some stuff we could help pay for seven billion dollars
My 3rd #DemsDoGood thread is on the American Rescue Plan. The 1.9 Trillion dollar effort to rescue the economy and deliver the vaccine. It is Rosie As Hell, so Let's put on the Rose-Colored's a take a peak. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The ARP has 3 main points, first FINALLY a national vaccine response program, including community vaccine sites, scaled up delivery and testing, better treatment and PAID SICK LEAVE for people struggling.
Second, deliver CASH TO THE PEOPLE, expand childcare and healthcare, INCREASE THE MINIMUM WAGE, and extend unemployment insurance.
Two more reasons attacking Biden for not entering a family separation executive order is absolute fraudulent BS. First, Trump signed an executive order ending the policy of family separation in 2018
Here is that order. It was Trump, so of course he managed to inflict cruelty even so --- which is all the more reason to appreciate all that Biden has done. npr.org/2018/06/20/622…
Second, the DOJ has been under order of the federal courts since 2018 to reunite children. Mitch and the Rs, however, have so far been preventing Merrick Garland from taking over as AG. cnn.com/2018/06/26/pol…
As a first #DemsDoGood thread, I want to push back on this utterly bad faith. It is false, and intended to divide good people against each other and lead to another demagogue. We won't let it work.
Ms. McEvoy lies about "executive order" when actually Biden said "I will immediately reverse the Trump administration's cruel and senseless policies that separate children at our border." Politifact has ALREADY deemed that true politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
A bit of background on child separation. Until Jeff Sessions stuck his dirty fingers into things, many prosecutors voluntarily declined prosecuting adults traveling with children. That policy was not in the US Code, it was prosecutors' discretion. politico.com/news/2021/01/1…
My next #DemsDoGood policy will be on energy policy and why true enemies of Russia like @LouiseMensch should LOVE Biden's decision to cancel the Keystone Pipeline. Please stand by (or check back in the AM, snoozy East Coasters).
In a "coincidence" Sec Miller's changes reached DC Natl Guard Commander on Jan 5.
Also deeply frustrating, the justification for the new restrictions was the lawless March to the bible photo op and related improper Guard responses. The evils are SO cynical it's breathtaking
