Date Title
11/02/2022 Tweet - "The Inflation Reduction Act is helping make sure the biggest corporations are paying their fair share in taxes. Unlike the Trump tax cuts--which were a handout to the ultra rich--we're leveling the playing field and putting working people first."
09/03/2022 Tweet - "RT if you agree that there's no reason a multi-billion dollar corporation should pay less in taxes than a teacher, firefighter, or nurse in my hometown of Bothell. The RT if you agree that there's no reason a multi-billion dollar corporation should pay less in taxes than a teacher, firefighter, or nurse in my hometown of Bothell. The Inflation Reduction Act will finally help level the playing field. Reduction Act will finally help level the playing field."
03/17/2022 Tweet - "Bringing down everyday costs for WA state families means putting an end to price gouging and making sure large corporations pay their fair share of taxes."
03/06/2022 Tweet - "Democrats have plans to lower costs for families on everything from child care to prescription drugs--and to pay for them by making sure the wealthiest finally pay their fair share in taxes."
01/26/2022 Tweet - "Last week I spoke with families in Pierce County about how the expanded #ChildTaxCredit helped lift families in the area out of poverty. I'm working to do everything I can to renew these expanded, life-changing monthly payments."
12/14/2018 Tweet - "ICYMI: President Trump said he would be proud to shut down the government if he can't get billions of taxpayer dollars for his wasteful wall--and that he would take the blame if he did. There is absolutely no reason for a #TrumpShutdown--and it's up to Republicans to stop it."
10/17/2018 Tweet - "2017: Republicans ram through a massive tax cut for the richest & put it on the US credit card. 2018: GOP sees credit card bill, acts shocked, & now says we must cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid for workers and families (the non-richest)."
10/11/2018 Tweet - "President Trump's tax cuts are great for the wealthy and well-connected, but fall way short for everyday Americans and future generations forced to foot the bill."
08/22/2018 Tweet - "Glad to see employers looking for innovative approaches to help workers save for retirement while managing student debt. We need to discuss more ideas like this that give people better options for planning for the future."
04/17/2018 Tweet - "Today's tax filing deadline is another reminder where Republicans' and the Trump Administration's priorities are: with the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations, not middle class families."
04/17/2018 Tweet - "President Trump and Republicans claimed their tax bill would help everyday workers and families, but the biggest winners have been corporate executives and wealthy stockholders. #GOPTaxScam"
04/17/2018 Tweet - "As people finish preparing their taxes, it's already clear that the Trump-GOP tax bill is overwhelmingly benefitting CEOs and wealthy shareholders--not workers and families."
04/17/2018 Tweet - "There's a good reason we make TV & radio stations disclose who buys the political ads they air--it helps ensure the integrity of our political process. Congress should pass the Honest Ads Act & start requiring our internet companies to provide the same transparency."
04/04/2018 Tweet - "After Republicans in Congress gave corporations a massive tax cut, workers deserve to know if employers plan to pad their own pockets or invest in their employees."
04/04/2018 Tweet - "When corporations are negotiating with unions, workers deserve to know if the billions corporations received from the GOP tax bill is going toward investing in workers or into the pockets of executives."
02/27/2018 Tweet - "From jamming through massive tax cuts for the richest Americans, to moving to allow companies to charge more for internet access, it's obvious that the Trump Administration's partisan agenda is a windfall for wealthy corporations--not working families."
02/12/2018 Tweet - "Budgets are statements of values and priorities, and President Trump made it clear that he puts tax cuts for rich ahead of middle class priorities."
02/01/2018 Tweet - "After spending a year sowing division in our communities & working around the clock to make the wealthiest families & corporations richer at the expense of working families, it's hard to take any of President Trump's promises too seriously."
01/30/2018 Tweet - "The tax plan that Republicans and President Trump jammed through Congress gave massive tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, biggest corporations, President Trump, his family, and the vast majority of his cabinet. #SOTU"
01/29/2018 Tweet - "In other words, the notion that corporate tax cuts will spur economic growth and all kinds of spending by "job creators" is a sham" -- great column from @columbian on some of the many ways the GOP tax bill is hurting WA's working families:"
01/23/2018 Tweet - "It says a lot that President Trump and Republicans were happy to jam through tax breaks and giveaways for corporations and billionaires, but want to put up new barriers to critical health care for some of the most vulnerable in our communities."
01/11/2018 Tweet - "Republicans just spent the last year sabotaging families' health care & jamming through tax cuts for the wealthiest few. Now, one of @realDonaldTrump's first priorities is to pull the rug out from people who simply want affordable care they can rely on."
01/10/2018 Tweet - "The GOP tax plan will cost 1000x more than it would to fund CHIP for 9 million children nationwide, and it's clearer than ever where Republicans' priorities lie."
01/08/2018 Tweet - "It speaks volumes that this Republican-controlled Congress spent the last months of 2017 giving tax breaks to massive corporations and the wealthiest instead of taking care of the health needs of children and families."
01/03/2018 Tweet - "Good read from @Wenatcheeworld on another consequence of the GOP tax plan: "No one is suggesting that giving will cease but…it's going to make it tougher for our nonprofits."
