The bad news from the Trump administration — and the Republicans who enable it — just keeps coming:
Jennifer, a nurse, stood up at our Scranton town hall to share the news that @seckennedy has defunded the research used to develop the COVID vaccine, to develop a vaccine for bird flu. Listen to the health care professionals like Jennifer who say this is a disaster.
“This is the ultimate betrayal. I’m hearing from people on the ground day in and day out who are furious that their tax dollars will go to the ultra-wealthy. The predominant concerns we hear from people are about care and costs: What will this mean for their health care? Will they have to go into medical debt to treat cancer or if someone falls ill? How will they stretch their already tight budgets even further? Donald Trump promised them that they would see costs go down. They haven’t, and now things are about to get even worse.” - Kristen Crowell

“We can no longer tolerate a rigged tax code that enables billionaires to pay a lower effective tax rate than the average worker and corporations like Tesla & Palantir to pay ZERO in federal income taxes while making billions in profits.

- Senator Bernie Sanders

This is a consistent finding year after year - the biggest frustration people have with the federal tax code is that the wealthy and corporations don't pay enough.
It's a bigger frustration than their own taxes being too high.

"Like birds of a feather, criminals with similar convictions flock together. Dozens of people convicted of defrauding the government and private investors have been pardoned by Trump, many after donating to his campaign or providing financial support to Trump family businesses."

Taxes are how we build strong communities:
Good schools. Safe roads. Health care.
But it only works when everyone pays their fair share - and billionaires are not.

“Some of the country’s wealthiest corporations are calculating they owe far less to the IRS as a result of Trump’s overhauled tax code, underscoring how a law billed as a middle‑class cut also turned out to be a big win for Corporate America.
And there’s a clear pattern emerging of sectors that stand to win the most from the deductions and special preferences tucked into Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful’ tax law. Those include companies across multiple industries: Big Tech, retailers, drugmakers, manufacturers and telecom giants.”
