Yeah he’s a billionaire but hey, Griffin is so so very taxable—income, corporate, wealth, unrealized gains, realized gains, federal/state/local let’s gooooo
🧵 If Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire tax passes, people like hedge funder Ken Griffin, who fueled the crusade to close 50 Chicago public schools, may tighten their belts. So if you're looking for a gift to cheer him up, check out what the man defunding our schools already owns:

On this day, we remember that labor should be entitled to all it creates. But in reality, billionaires pocket the fruits of our labor for themselves. This makes us poorer individually and collectively, as essential needs go unfunded so that the rich can enjoy our riches.

Sorry Evil Andrew, the biggest labor unions in New York aren’t endorsing @ZohranKMamdani because they’re “reactionary” — it’s because they recognize their members deserve the affordability and material gains he will deliver and the people-powered democracy he represents

Worth noting that @SenSchumer got the Senate Dems in formation to go all out on this vote and even broke some records to make sure GOP Senators had to walk to plank to vote on this disastrous bill. Its good to see and its the type of fight we need at every turn. Keep it up!
Senate Republicans just single-handily voted to pass the most unpopular bills in history. It steals healthcare and food away from millions of families. It raises costs for everyone. All to shower the wealthy and big business in over $1 TRILLION in tax breaks. Fucking disgusted!

It’s time for Governor Hochul to pause the private equity takeover of CDPAP and find a better way forward.

Outside of Eric Adams, no single elected official has done more damage to NYC than New York’s #1 Nepo Baby, Andrew Cuomo. Here’s the proof 🧵

“When working people have more money in their pocket, the overall economy thrives,” Mamdani said in an interview. “Right now if you are earning a minimum wage in the city, you simply cannot afford to continue calling it your home. We have to change that.” cityandstateny.com/policy/20…

Elon Musk has us barreling toward a government shutdown. Next, he's going to try to use DOGE to cut crucial programs that people rely on in order to fund tax giveaways for himself and his billionaire friends. 💰 New from @owenslindsay1 ⬇️

I’ve been disappointed and baffled by Dems being terrified to talk about climate since Gore’s campaign. This ad tested great, across all kinds of groups. Even moves white working class voters. Hopefully this will be the beginning of changing this.

CTC is one of the most popular policies ever. We can’t imagine why someone woukd stand in the way. Gotta get it renewed. Families 👏 need👏 that 👏money!
In 2021—Dems delivered a major expansion of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) that cut child poverty in half. We tried to renew it, but the GOP put their billionaire donors' interests over people. I talked with NY families on what the CTC meant for them and why we fight to renew it.

... the reason a lot of neighborhoods and a lot of families are still struggling is due to decades of right wing ideas that benefit only the rich. The affordability crisis IS the inequality crisis, and there's a lot more to do to turn it around. teapawt.net/WayToWinAF/status/1847…
Replying to @WayToWinAF
MVP Harris and Democrats have the better argument on the affordability-inequality crisis.

The problem at the root of our problems is that the rich have taken $50 trillion from the other 90% of us over the past five decades. Biden started fixing this. The macro indicators have improved. Our economy has had the strongest recovery from COVID in the world. But:
