Kevin McCarthy spoke for over 8 hours to express his vehement opposition to raising taxes on people with incomes over $5 million and corporations with profits over $1 billion to pay for universal pre-K, affordable childcare, and an expanded child tax credit. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrianFaughnan @guypbenson That’s pretty absurd. It caps childcare costs at 7% of family income up to 250% of state median income. It’ll make it much cheaper. Overall, costs will go up because it will pay providers a living wage. But families will pay less. — PolitiTweet.org

Very powerful chart from DC demonstrating the importance of vaccination. Since January 18, 2,502 people were hospitalized in DC with COVID. 2,433 (97.2%) were not fully vaccinated. In the last week, there were 22 people hospitalized with COVID. All were not fully vaccinated. https://t.co/et3v30umip — PolitiTweet.org

7. No developed country treats working families as poorly as the United States. And corporate America is fighting hard to maintain the status quo. For more accountability journalism, check out my newsletter, Popular Information It's free to sign up --> https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

6. The ad doesn't mention that BBB no longer raises the corporate tax rate but instead establishes a new minimum rate of 15% on corporations with $1 billion or more in annual profits. https://t.co/PcHEYnTLPo — PolitiTweet.org

@USChamber @BizRoundtable 5. The @BizRoundtable, which represents top CEOs like Apple's Tim Cook and GM's Mary Barra, is spending hundreds of thousands in ads on Facebook, urging people to call Manchin and Sinema and tell them not to "oppose harmful tax increases on job creators" https://t.co/PcHEYnTLPo https://t.co/yA85IndwXZ — PolitiTweet.org

4. If the @USChamber, @BizRoundtable & other lobbying orgs for business cared about workforce participation, they'd be enthusiastically supporting BBB Instead, they want to preserve the ability of corporations with $1B+ in profits to pay no taxes https://t.co/PcHEYnTLPo — PolitiTweet.org

@USChamber 3. During the pandemic, millions of parents -- primarily mothers -- dropped out of the workforce. Many of them haven't returned. A huge barrier to reentry is the very high cost of childcare. https://t.co/PcHEYnTLPo https://t.co/dYQIOfiXYH — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. At the same time, the @USChamber is claiming it opposes Build Back Better, which contains the childcare and pre-K provisions, because it's concerned about the impact BBB will have on "workforce participation." Huh? https://t.co/PcHEYnTLPo — PolitiTweet.org

These pundits also lack self-awareness. The punditry itself drives negative perceptions. It does not merely reflect those perceptions. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
One thing political pundits almost uniformly lack is perspective. If people have negative views of Biden and the economy in November 2022 it will be a poor election for Democrats. But it's November 2021. In a year, things could be even worse, or things could be better. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting that the "blame" for the drawn out legislative process for the reconciliation bill is being put on Biden rather than the people actually drawing out the process (Manchin, Sinema, a small group of House moderates) — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Whether an individual politician should support unpopular positions depends on their goals. But you can’t wait for an idea to be popular before providing any financial support for people talking about it. Because then you are enshrining the status quo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@mattyglesias I disagree with that and am guessing you also probably do? Same-sex marriage was extremely unpopular for many years but donors supported building an infrastructure around it and positive change occurred. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Separately, advocacy for unpopular views is one of the most import features of a healthy democracy. And it’s the advocacy that has brought some of the most important changes. — PolitiTweet.org
