NO.
Stop being the wind beneath his propaganda.
The entire MSM needs a STAT crash course on how not to spread blatant propaganda if we ever hope to survive this racist dictatorial bullshit.
Trump literally abuses the press and his power on a regular basis but they don’t have sense enough to recognize that granting him privileged access to lie to the public won’t make them or the country any safer. He will never give a FUCK about anyone but himself.
Learn this now.

Larger issue is pervasive denial/ignorance about the fact that the vast majority of Americans receiving government assistance like SNAP are White. The mythology of White supremacy won’t allow acknowledgement of the sheer magnitude of White poverty or any efforts at remedying it.
@CharisseEPeople Receipts on that:
@CharisseEPeople Trump’s most recent SNAP cuts put his rural/WWC base directly in the crosshairs but they’re more intent on pretending they don’t need a “handout” than self preservation.

All this poutrage about @RashidaTlaib saying the word “motherfucker” but I have yet to see anyone arguing that Trump isn’t indeed an actual motherfucker. He’s a pussy grabber too in case y’all forgot...
Miss us with your impassioned defense of the sociopath sexual predator’s fake ass “honor”, folk like Trump are why the word motherfucker was even invented.
He’s literally stealing children from their mothers and locking them in cages w/no hope of reunification plus the prospect of abuse, neglect & death at the hands of the US Govt. That’s the epitome of MOTHERFUCKER and if folk can’t handle hearing it they should stop enabling him.

Late last night, Republican House Ways and Means Committee Chairman @repkevinbrady introduced a new tax proposal that once again furthers the GOP agenda of putting the interests of the wealthy first.
reuters.com/article/us-usa…
For generations, the @GOP has made it their priority to rig the economy in favor of the wealthy at the expense of working and middle-class Americans.
Last year, the @GOP lied about who the #GOPTaxScam would benefit.

A year later we know that the #GOPTaxScam was nothing but a MASSIVE tax giveaway to the wealthy and corporations.

This tax proposal is no different.

6 mos ago, in the dead of night, the GOP jammed thru the #GOPTaxScam lavishing tax cuts on big corps & the wealthiest few. @realDonaldTrump & the GOP promised this would help the middle class, & even give families $4K more in their pockets. But the tax law has failed to deliver.
Since the beginning of 2018, corporations have announced plans to repurchase more than $480 billion in stock buybacks. Meanwhile, the @washingtonpost reported that “wages aren’t just flat, they are falling” for the largest group of American workers. washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…
If you look at the numbers, corporations are reaping record profits as a result of the #GOPTaxScam, but that savings isn’t really being passed onto their workers. democrats.senate.gov/goptaxscam

Alright, alright. I'll bring it full circle in this final hour before the Senate votes. From the beginning we've been calling the #GOPTaxScam just that -- a scam. What makes it a scam? Here goes. (And all of my tax friends should jump in.) 1/
"This bill is a gift to the middle class."

On the contrary. By 2027, 83% of the benefits of the #GOPTaxScam go to the top 1%. taxpolicycenter.org/sites/default/… 2/
It was NEVER designed to be a gift to the middle class. Its key features are a massive corporate tax cut, further erosion of the estate tax, and new tax breaks for hedge funds, private law firms, and the Trump Org. It lowers the tax rate on millionaires. 3/

After I requested an investigation, @USTreasury finally released its "analysis" of the #GOPTaxScam. This one-page report is pathetic – and shows Secretary Mnuchin has no basis for claiming that the tax plan "will pay for itself with growth." treasury.gov/press-center/p…
In this bogus report, @USTreasury was supposed to use its economic models to project how the GOP tax plan would affect economic growth.
 
It didn't do that. It just made up the numbers.
The @USTreasury report says that IF economic growth is 2.9% instead of 2.2% over the next ten years, then the national debt will go down despite the GOP plan’s massive tax giveaway to big corporations. Oh really?

What GOP won't admit about the federal deficit.
It is caused *entirely* by:
1) Bush's tax cut (reducing revenue)
2) Bush's two wars (raising spending)
3) Bush's Great Recession (lowering tax revenue)
4) Recovery from Bush's recession (raising spending)
1/
Bill Clinton left G. W. Bush with a $200 billion annual surplus. Bush turned that into a $400 billion annual deficit through slashing taxes and aging two wars off the books. Oh, and Medicare Part D, which had NO pay-fors.
2/
Then a combination of Bush antics (including deregulation, lack of enforcement, and lots of bad economic policies) created the worst recession in 8- years, leading to massive job losses and collapsing tax revenue.
