Why has poverty fallen? Because the EITC, the expansion of the CTC and the expansion of Medicaid have all given the poor more resources, while work and wages have also risen a bit. What we’ve done works, we could accomplish more if we did more. https://t.co/1tdxmcG3ek — PolitiTweet.org

Death rates for teenagers are up over the past few years — seems to be mostly car wrecks & murders but with a little bit of overdose and Covid thrown in. https://t.co/qNcUu636D1 https://t.co/wV21MEfd5d — PolitiTweet.org
