An increasingly used justification for why taxes shouldn't be increased on the ultra-wealthy is because they'll "leave communities and take their revenue with them."
Yet research shows they move at lower rates than other income brackets, even in response to tax increases.

Don't worry America, Mike Johnson says to "relax" if you have concerns about affordability!
Pete Hegseth put the lives of our service members at risk, and every day he's kept his job since then condones his reckless behavior.
This administration's refusal to take responsibility will continue to endanger the safety of troops.
Hegseth should resign or be fired.
Following reports and investigations into toxic ambient air emissions at Cardinal Health warehouses in El Paso, I sent a letter to their CEO requesting that he respond to my concerns about the impact to our community.
You can read my letter in the below 👇🏾

By supporting the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025, we hope to reverse these cuts and end this shameful Republican abandonment of those who need help the most.
This administration has been hell-bent on slashing if not outright eliminating programs like SNAP and allowing millions of Americans to go hungry. The shutdown was only a preview of the devastation every single Republican voted to inflict.
Instead of prioritizing and uplifting the most vulnerable Americans, Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill ripped away $187 billion in funding for SNAP to partially pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

I've been so proud of our Lady Miners for finishing as CUSA Regular Season Champions and for the numerous accolades they've received including Coach of the Year.
Wishing you all luck as you take on the CUSA tournament today!!

Following confirmation from the FBI that there have been several instances of criminals impersonating ICE agents, I renew my calls to pass the VISIBLE Act and improve credibility and public safety.

Together with millions of Americans, I remain horrified and disgusted by the Trump administration's hardline immigration enforcement actions carried out by masked ICE agents unwilling to identify themselves.

Justice is not just a legal outcome — it is accountability because no one is above the law.
Not the rich. Not the powerful. Not the well-connected. Not Democrats or Republicans.
For hours this morning, survivors stood on the steps of the Capitol and begged Congress to do the right thing for the young women and girls who were silenced by the very institutions meant to protect them.
Today, I voted yes to release the Epstein files because survivors deserve nothing less.
Attendees should expect a white-washed, ugly rewriting of recent history.
While I believe in productive debate and genuine conversation, I’m disappointed and ashamed that the leadership at UTEP is amplifying someone who is actively engaged in demonizing many of those who attend UTEP, all of whom have long considered UTEP to be a safe place.
And all of it has come with a significant emotional and financial cost to Americans.
Despite promises to go after the ‘worst of the worst,’ their efforts have done little but terrorize families, including mixed-status families, households with immigrants who have been in the country for decades, parents of U.S. citizens, and U.S. citizens themselves.
Homan has been one of the chief architects of the Trump administration’s cruel, hardline mass deportation tactics.
UTEP’s embrace of right-wing politics in the last few years has been alarming and is unreflective of El Paso. As a loving, welcoming community, the invitation of Tom Homan is contrary to the values most El Pasoans hold dear.
🧵
Step 1: Implement tariffs (aka taxes)
Step 2: Realize this raised the cost of living and is the opposite of what you promised and they (among many, many other things) have made you unpopular
Step 3 (we are here): Begin reversing tariffs
Step 4: cross fingers prices come down and take credit
I hope it’s abundantly clear that Republicans don’t care about you.
They only care about themselves and billionaires.
