Republicans won't let Americans have anything nice, even if it'll help the economy. They plan to oust Pres Biden in 2024 by sabotaging & his pro-American agenda: On Tues, Sens. Cassidy, Thune, & Cornyn led 14 of their GOP colleagues in introducing a bill that'd overturn Biden's new SAVE income-driven repayment plan🚨, formally launched in Aug to lower borrowers' monthly payments. Cassidy is the top Republican on the Sen EDU CMTE. businessinsider.com/student-lo

These anarcho-capitalists are pathetic. A vote for Biden is a proven: robust economy, relatively low inflation, pro-democracy, stability, equality... But these greedy execs require low taxes & few regs.: The GOP's platform is fascist, anti-women... The super PAC supporting Chris Christie’s pres. campaign raised $5.9M since the he launched his bid in Jun.

: their donors, MOC, SCJs, judges, elected officials, govs... GOP donor & the SF Giant's part owner, Charles Johnson got an appraisal valuing his mansion at $130M *price higher than any publicly reported home sale in the US up to that time & 5X the $26M he/wife had reportedly paid 14 years earlier to buy & restore the prop.

Sad: Private health insurance companies paid by Medicaid denied millions of requests for care for low-income Americans🚨 with little oversight from federal & state authorities, acc. to a new report. Investigators found that major companies overseeing Medicaid patients’ health care frequently rejected doctors’ requests for approval of treatments and procedures. nytimes.com/2023/07/19/health/

Republican lawmakers in several🩸states are effectively KILLING KIDS by allowing children to work in dangerous conditions to help their corporate & wealthy donors: 16-year-old boy (an immigrant from Guatemala😭) dies in accident at a Mississippi poultry plant. It's the second time in two years that a worker has died from injuries sustained in an accident at the Mar-Jac poultry facility. nbcnews.com/news/16-year-old-b

Billionaires aren't OK: detached from reality, some are diabolical & dangerous & all need to be highly taxed bc they've been undertaxed for years &/or avoided (most ppl don't have access to legal avoidance) or evaded taxes: For decades: dominant narrative re the rich: they really are better than us: smarter, more talented, &, in the case of those in tech -equipped with prognostication powers so profound they are indistinguishable from🚨MAGIC. salon.com/2023/07/17/billionai

More anti-union behavior from a corporation: "UPS’s CEO donated tens of thousands to anti labor GOP politicians ahead of Teamsters strike." These CEOs must be exposed for their LIES & despicable behavior. theintercept.com/2023/07/14/up

With little regulation & few laws that protect workers in TX, the endangers lives. Heat illness puts workers at risk. There're no fed or state standards that specifically protect workers from heat illness, & TX cities & counties will soon be barred from making local rules with that purpose. Heat kills more people annually in the US. than hurricanes, tornadoes or flooding. TX: 42 heat-related deaths on the job since 2011 -more than any other state. chron.com/news/houston-texas/a

Unethical & illegal practices have been revealed. Harsher penalties are needed to curtail this abuse: Bank of America fined $150M for consumer abuses including fake accounts & bogus fees. *Wells Fargo was fined for similar infractions several years ago. encouraged corruption (it was the way he did business -whatever it took to seal the deal & still does). cnbc.com/2023/07/11/bank-of-am

, GOP lawmakers & greedy corporations are primarily responsible for Floridians' fleeing the state: While out-of-staters were flocking into FL in 2021, 674,740 residents moved out. Texas had the 2nd most out-of-state movers in 2021. Those who moved out said FL had become too unaffordable & crowded. Florida's insurance rates, home prices & rentals have risen more than other states & their "anti-woke" laws & policies are taking a toll. businessinsider.com/people-mov

Republican policies harm & kill their own & all who live in the areas they've desecrated. GOP leaders in states like Louisiana, have prioritized investments in fossil fuels & chemicals, while allowing the companies that produce the toxins to pollute, endangering workers & residents. Deregulation & anarcho-capitalism are destroying parts of the US: With hundreds of explosive chem. plants, LA could be a ticking time bomb🚨. thehill.com/opinion/energy-env hurricane season.

Tech bros continue to rake in MILLIONS$, while they layoff workers, many who don't have a safety net: Many services, from janitorial tasks to content moderation and engineering, are provided by an army of largely invisible contractors, like Lawson, who are employed by outside firms and don’t receive the same benefits or compensation as direct employees. In Big Tech layoffs, cooks and janitors are hit hardest. washingtonpost.com/technology/

A new Texas law overrides heat safeguards like water breaks & rest in the shade for construction workers, & other precautions aimed to keep workers from harm: 53 Texas workers have died from heat-related illness since 2010. Opponents warn it overturns worker protections in more liberal municipalities that aren’t able to pass legislation, where Republicans have majorities. washingtonpost.com/climate-env

Will GOP MOC vote to keep children safe? Once, born, children's lives aren't impt. to Republicans unless they're contributing to corp. profits. A 12-yr-old might’ve grown your food. In many states it's legal. Rs are rolling back child labor laws🚨. But they’ve always been weak on farms. Rep Ruiz introduced the the CARE Act -bill aims to close the age, time, & risk gaps for children working on farms & increases penalties for child labor violations: vox.com/future-perfect/2023/6/

& Republicans, while in charge of the state for years, have enabled builders & corporations, disregarding the safety of residents. Legislators continue to deregulate, & officials don't enforce regs. & codes: The condo in Surfside, FL, that collapsed two years ago, killing 98 people, had a pool deck with a “severe strength deficiency,” & its construction in some areas failed to meet building codes & its original design parameters. nytimes.com/2023/06/15/us/surf

Why are so many Americans distraught: live in crowded conditions (during the pandemic -caused the spread of Covid -more illnesses & deaths) & some are homeless? They can't afford to live in most of the US: A full-time worker in the US needs to make $28.58/hr. on aver., to afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment in their area. >1/3 of US HHs are renters. They’d need $61.31/hr in San Fran/$50.67/hr in Boston. For over 10 yrs. the fed. min. wage: $7.25. cnbc.com/2020/11/27/covid-19-b
