Republicans LOVE to pretend they care about "the deficit".

But what do they actually DO about it?

1) The 1st bill passed by the GOP House would increase the debt $114 billion (by allowing wealthy people & corporations to continue to cheat on their taxes). #StopGOPLies

🧵/1
2) Congressional Republicans proposed repealing reforms President Biden signed to lower prescription drug costs.

Repealing these policies would increase the amount of money Medicare pays Big Pharma, raise costs for seniors, and add $159 billion to the debt. #StopGOPLies

🧵/2
3) House Republicans have advocated and proposed repealing tax increases on large corporations that President Biden has signed into law.

This would add $296 billion to the debt. #StopGOPLies

🧵/3
4) House Republican leaders have also committed to extend the expiring Trump tax cuts, a $2.7 trillion debt increase that would give the top 0.1% a $175,000 annual tax cut (which is over 2.5x a typical family’s annual income).

Don't buy the BS. #StopGOPLies

Americans really need to understand this.

McCarthy has agreed to bring a bill to the floor that would eliminate almost all Federal taxes and impose a 23% sales tax across the country.

The impact would be devastating for working families.

Non-partisan experts agree that this would be extremely regressive, raising taxes on middle class Americans and slashing them for the wealthy.

Bush’s Treasury Department analyzed a similar proposal: govinfo.library.unt.edu/taxreformpanel…

They found it would raise taxes by thousands for typical middle-class families.

The burden would likely be especially great for seniors and families with children.

Some people think it's time to leave Twitter.

My thoughts on that...

I founded an organization focused on digital persuasion.

At @DemCastUSA, we empower people to use their social reach strategically.

If you're on social to influence, I urge you to stay. /1
I've checked out Mastodon, Tribel, Counter Social and other alt platforms.

There's promise. But it's not clear that one is destined to "take over" the role of Twitter.

I'd say it's likely that none of them do, in fact. /2
I founded DemCast because I thought it was important to use our personal networks to influence the people within our reach - no matter their political proclivities. /3

How bad were Tuesday's primary elections for the fate of democracy?

Really bad.

1. Maine Gov: Paul LePage won the GOP nomination for Governor after saying that 2020 was "clearly a stolen election."

THREAD /1
2. ME-02: Bruce Poliquin is the GOP nominee after urging Trump not to concede in 2020 & refusing to say unequivocally that Biden won.

3. Nevada Gov: Trump-endorsed Joe Lombardo won the GOP nod after questioning whether Biden won "fair and square."

/2
4. Nevada Secretary of State: GOP nominee Jim Marchant is an EXTREME election denier who says he would not have certified the 2020 results if he'd been SoS.

5. Nevada - US Senate: Adam Laxalt has been dubbed the "Nevada version of Rudy Giuliani". Enough said.

Thread 🧵

Since 1960, corporations have changed the way they divide up revenue.

(I bet you can guess how.)

In the 1960 at American Express, 43.1% of the revenue went to employees. In 2019: 12.6%.

The % of revenue going to shareholders doubled.
In the 1960 at Chrysler, 26.9% of the revenue went to employees. In 2019: 10.5%.

The % of revenue going to shareholders grew 8-fold.
In the 1960 at United Airlines, 46.5% of the revenue went to employees. In 2019: 20.9%.

The % of revenue going to shareholders grew 7.3% to 38.7%.

Thread. I hope you'll read.

Since Putin's invasion of Ukraine, & especially in the last week, there has been a sharp drop in social media posting about the atrocities being committed by Russia.

At the same time, there has been an uptick in traction for pro-Putin narratives. /1
This is exactly what Russia wants. And what Ukrainians fear.

As Putin gets bogged down in a quagmire of his own choosing...

As global attention wanes...

There will be more space for anti-Ukraine messages to permeate in digital spaces. /2
It is so incredibly essential that we commit to flooding the zone with content that highlights Putin's lies, shines a spotlight on the atrocities he's committing, showcases the valor of the Ukrainian people, and signals the unity of the global community against this invasion. /3
