1. Since 9/1, about one in ten women have effectively been stripped of their reproductive rights That's when an extreme abortion ban went into effect in Texas — home to 7 million women aged 15-49 https://t.co/1lAMn77DH4 — PolitiTweet.org

@Apple In a staff meeting, CEO Tim Cook "said that the company was looking into whether it could aid the legal fight against the new law & its medical insurance would help pay for Apple workers in Texas if they needed to travel to other states for an abortion." https://t.co/aHQBetMApZ — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
UPDATE: @Apple says it supports "our employees’ rights to make their own decisions regarding their reproductive health" and is "actively monitoring the legal proceedings challenging the uniquely restrictive abortion law in Texas" https://t.co/RUowGPVuDQ — PolitiTweet.org

Still a long way to go. We were down to about 17K hospitalizations in late-June. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I've learned over the course of the pandemic is the most consistent data comes not from cases or deaths but hospitalizations. Some good news: Delta *appears* to be on the decline. Hospitalizations peaked at about 103K on 8/31 Now down to 95K — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that nearly all Congressional staffers are not authorized to speak publicly about their experiences with lobbyists is a part of the problem. But please talk to me and share your story and will protect your identity. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing that I think would be very useful at this stage of the pandemic is a breakdown each day of how many vaccinated versus unvaccinated people die each day. The answer is that nearly all are unvaccinated but hard numbers would be helpful — PolitiTweet.org

8. The rich are counting on the complexity of these tax loopholes to blunt public interest But it demands your attention You won't always get the full story from the corporate media Sign up for independent accountability journalism in your inbox https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. This is a generational opportunity to fix some of the most indefensible loopholes in the tax system that are used by corporations and the wealthy to avoid paying billions in taxes Average people are getting sold out behind closed doors https://t.co/aQV11Aqou1 — PolitiTweet.org

6. Democrats in the House, so far, have also abandoned Biden's proposals to close tax loopholes benefiting private equity managers and the oil and gas industry. Those folks also can afford very good lobbyists. Who is lobbying for the average American? https://t.co/aQV11Aqou1 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. A dark money group hired former Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp to argue that this tax loophole should be maintained. Just a few months ago, Heitkamp called the loophole "one of the biggest scams in the history of forever." https://t.co/aQV11Aqou1 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. This is called the "stepped-up basis" loophole. At death, the "cost" of the stock or asset for purpose of capital gains is "stepped-up" to its present value. This allows the heirs of the very wealthy to avoid paying taxes on those gains EVER https://t.co/aQV11Aqou1 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. Right now, extremely rich people can accumulate billions in wealth gains throughout their lifetime through capital gains from stocks and other assets But they can avoid paying taxes by passing those assets onto their heirs https://t.co/aQV11Aqou1 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. These lobbyists have convinced DEMOCRATS to kill some of the most important of Biden's proposals For example, the House Ways and Means Committee has dropped Biden's plan to end the tax loophole for dynastic wealth It's egregious https://t.co/aQV11Aqou1 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. For the last three decades there has been an unprecedented concentration of wealth among the top 0.1% of families Biden proposed some policies to make things a bit more fair But very wealthy people can afford very good lobbyists https://t.co/aQV11Aqou1 — PolitiTweet.org

@digiphile I think they should disclose contacts with lobbyists. If it ends up being such a pain, they could always have less frequent contact with lobbyists! — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
One thing that would make Congress work better is if Congressional offices had to disclose their contacts with lobbyists This is supposed to be an institution that serves the public, but much of its activity is secret — PolitiTweet.org
