The #GovernmentShutdown is now the longest in U.S. history! Here are the top 10 reasons why the #TrumpShutdown is Donald Trump's fault. (THREAD - PLEASE RT)
1) Trump REJECTED a bipartisan compromise in early 2018 that would have provided billions of dollars in #BorderWallFunding in exchange for protecting the #Dreamers. #TrumpShutdown
2) The #TrumpShutdown started before Christmas, when the GOP held majorities in both the House and Senate. @SpeakerRyan still held the gavel & even he couldn't pass wall funding. #EndTheShutdown
Listen up dummies!

3/ The Senate is slightly less batshit crazy and is where the real shit happens.
Sooooo…this afternoon, because the GOP is RUSHING to get this passed AND the Senate votes on EVERYTHING; a Motion to Proceed (MTP) on #HR1 passed (51-48 McCain absent).

HEADS UP: Here are 10 things I’ll bet you didn’t know about the GOP tax scam, but that should get you super angry when you find out:
1) GOP tax scam cuts Medicare! Yup, it does. By $28 billion NEXT YEAR alone.
2) GOP tax scam eliminates the tax credit that encourages businesses to hire VETERANS, especially veterans with disabilities. Not a joke.
RED ALERT: The Trump tax bill being rammed through Congress right now is confusing so let me break down what it’ll mean for you. Spoiler: You’ll get stuck with the bill. Follow along for details. 1/
YOUR TAX BILL
47 million households will get a tax hike! Yes, you read that right. In a plan that cuts taxes for corporations and millionaires, millions of middle-class families—especially those with children—get a tax increase. 2/

YOUR HEALTHCARE
Health care costs will skyrocket. Families won’t be able to get a deduction for large out-of-pocket medical expenses. The GOP budget includes giant cuts to Medicaid & Medicare. AND they are considering repealing a key part of the ACA as part of the tax bill. 3/

House Republicans are hoping to race massive changes into law before the American people see/1 #NotOnePenny #TaxScam 
...it’s just another GOP multi-trillion dollar giveaway to the wealthiest at the expense of the middle class and working Americans/2
And while Republicans have been desperately hiding the details about their bill, we already know this much is true: /3
House GOP dropped their tax bill today and boy are the media headlines missing the mark. /1
GOP is selling it as a big middle class tax cut – when it’s actually Christmas come early for corporations & the ultra-rich.

The biggest winners are corporations, who’ll see their tax rate drop massively from 35% to 20%. /3
Democrats will ensure those at the top contribute to our country’s future/1 #DemPartyPlatform #NotOnePenny 
..by establishing a multimillionaire surtax to ensure millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share/2 #DemsWork4USA
In addition, Democrats will shut down the “private tax system” for those at the top/3 #DemFuture #TaxPlanScam
Let's talk about where things stand in the health care fight—which is now a bunch of fights. Repeal is on hold. But danger's not passed. 1/x
Biggest thing: first the GOP came for health care to pay for tax cut for the rich. Now it's tax cuts for rich, paid for by health care cuts.
The House votes Thu on a 2018 budget resolution. Hidden inside: $473 billion in Medicare cuts and $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts.
