Some good news… We’ve been advocating for a working class tax cut like this-getting money into working families people’s pockets. I’m glad that it’s moving with leadership from Sen Van Hollen. Working people need a break- and this is a fantastic way to do it.

HUGE TEXAS UNION WIN: @iamunion.bsky.social leader Taylor Rehmet was just elected to the Texas Senate! This win kicks off a wave of union candidates across the state.
While parties are trying to reconnect with the working class, we’re running union members up and down the ballot — and winning. ✊
This is a really big deal: a union leader wins in Texas.. and beats a billionaire backed candidate who led anti public school culture wars…. .h/t @zephcapo.bsky.social

Voter suppression in progress.
