Trickle-down economics was a myth created to justify the concentration of wealth. It hasn’t produced more jobs or higher wages. It hasn’t even led to Amazon lifting the prospects of its own workforce.

Nearly half of Amazon workers say they struggle to afford housing and food expenses. About a third rely on SNAP just to put food on the table.
Right now, Amazon workers face intense pressure to fulfill the order spike during Prime Day sales. They’re working longer hours for low pay and are at a higher risk of workplace injuries.
Here’s a Prime (Day) example of why trickle-down economics don’t work:
In recent years, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, who has a net worth of over $200 billion, paid zero dollars in federal income taxes. He just paid $50 million for a lavish wedding in Italy.
Don’t forget: Republicans in the House and Senate voted to take away food and health care from poor people and give ICE billions more dollars for Donald Trump’s deportation and detention agenda. Shameful.
Good health care, food on the table, and a home – these should be within reach for EVERYONE.
But the Republican budget Trump just signed into law pushes the American Dream further away from regular people to give billionaires another tax break.
I’m proud to represent amazing young people like Annie, a senior at University City High School. I was so impressed by her volunteer efforts at Gigi’s Playhouse, the Women’s History Museum, and co-founding a nonprofit to promote literacy. Thank you for your hard work, Annie!
Who could have seen this coming? Abortion bans force doctors to question, delay, or deny standard care during miscarriages – which can be deadly.
My office has been in touch with many of individuals involved, from bystanders to those arrested, and I will continue to conduct all necessary oversight over DHS and the Trump Administration.
This morning, I spoke with the Special Agent in Charge of the ICE arrest in Linda Vista to reiterate the importance of affording everyone their legal rights and ensuring that agents immediately and always identify themselves and have their badges visible.
My thoughts this 4th of July
The U.S. footprint globally is often our military–but USAID was different, saving 91 million lives, strengthening local capacity, and building a positive U.S. reputation. Cutting USAID could cause 14 million more deaths in the next 5 years, making all of us less safe and secure.
Republicans just passed Trump’s budget bill — not a single Democrat voted for it. This is an utter betrayal of the American people. We won’t forget this.
As Republicans in Congress rush through Trump’s ugly budget bill, I’m thinking about kids like Delilah, who rely on Medicaid to get the health care they need.
So many people will be hurt because Republicans prioritize tax breaks for billionaires and corporations over lives.
ICYMI: Unsurprisingly, House Republicans began to fold overnight on Trump’s ugly budget. Even when MILLIONS are at risk of losing health care and food assistance, they have no moral courage.
The final vote will happen later today. Shame on EVERY Republican who votes for this.
The Republicans are rushing this bill because it’s toxic.
Kicking 17 million people off of their health care, gutting food assistance, setting up hospitals and nursing homes for failure – NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS.
We need EVERYONE across the country to hear about this. 📢🔃
Why are Republicans in Congress supporting this bill if it hurts their own people?
It’s simple: they’re under fire from Trump to pass tax breaks for his buddies – the ultra rich and big corporations. And the only way to pay for that is to slash health care and SNAP.
IT’S A GRIFT.
TL;DR: No matter who you are, this bill will hurt YOU.
(Unless you’re a billionaire or a big corporation…)
We only need FOUR Republicans to find the courage to stand up for their OWN constituents.
17 million people will be kicked off health care and millions more will be affected by longer wait times, higher costs, hospital closures, and nursing home closures.
This should be an obvious NO.
Spineless Senate Republicans before *promptly* folding and voting for the Big Ugly Bill…
