As August comes to an end, let's take a look back at the historic accomplishments Democrats delivered this month.

We're taking action to create jobs, lower costs, and build an economy that works for working people — not wealthy corporations.🧵 This month, @POTUS Biden signed the #InflationReductionAct into law.

ICYMI: This past Saturday, House Budget Dems completed a markup of the #BuildBackBetter Act. We know that our nation, our economy, & our communities cannot wait any longer for these critical investments.

Here’s what House Budget Dems had to say: ⤵️ America works best when everybody pays their fair share. As @RepJudyChu explains, the #BuildBackBetter Act will make sure the IRS has the tools it needs to crack down on wealthy tax evaders.

The facts are clear: the #AmericanRescuePlan is what we need to beat #COVID, safely reopen schools, deliver relief to working families, & generate an inclusive recovery. That's why 74% of Americans – including 60% of Republicans – support @POTUS' plan.

Here's what else is true: FACT: Leaders from across the political spectrum agree that the #AmericanRescuePlan is the plan we need to change the direction of these crises. As @RepHorsford explains, this isn’t a red state, blue state issue – it’s an American crisis.
