1/ THREAD (Click on "Show this thread") Here is a revised Ultimate Presidential Candidates List for 10/6/18. Major changes at Tier One. Kamala Harris moves into first, followed by Cory Booker as a running mate. Joe Biden moves from first to third followed by Michael Avenatti. 
2/ Bernie Sanders remains first on Tier Two, but is considered weak as a primary contender. Eric Swalwell stays at second while Deval Patrick and Adam Schiff switch places based on Schiff's high profile stance against Kavanaugh (i.e., Schiff moves up on spot).
#TaxScam2:
The first GOP Tax Scam added $2 trillion to the national debt – sticking our children with the bill for massive tax breaks for Big Pharma, Wall Street and the wealthiest 1 percent.

Today, House Republicans are pushing #TaxScam2: their cynical scheme to make tax breaks for billionaires permanent – handing tens of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the wealthiest 1 percent every year.

While Republicans enrich their wealthy donors, Democrats are fighting FOR THE PEOPLE:
*Lowering your health care costs and prescription drug prices
*Increasing your pay through strong economic growth by rebuilding America
*Cleaning up corruption to make Washington work for you

THREAD: Republicans are laying out their agenda for 2019, and it’s a nightmare for working families and seniors. #Medicare #Medicaid #SocialSecurity #ProtectOurCare
According to @realDonaldTrump’s top economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, the Trump Admin and Republicans in Congress have already set their sights on slashing the #Medicare, #Medicaid & #SocialSecurity that many Americans count on to make ends meet. goo.gl/qX9Eja
.@VP Pence has also promised the Trump Admin & the GOP will try to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Remember: that would lead to millions losing their health coverage & would ultimately drive up costs for everyone who is able to hang on to their insurance. goo.gl/HFxLh8
@SenWhitehouse Senator do you understand what it means when judges claim to be 'originalists'? They mean they want the Constitution to be exactly as it was originally written w/o all later amendments. They only want rich, powerful, land owning, white men to vote. They want to take America 1/
@SenWhitehouse Back to Colonial times. They claim to love the Constitution so much, yet want to intertwine religious laws instead of civil laws in our daily lives, ie, Christian Sharia Law. I don't understand why Democrats aren't screaming from the rooftops about this. Everyone but trump 2/
@SenWhitehouse Is a member of Council for National Policy, a hate group posing as Christians per @splcenter. They hate LGBTQ, Muslims, liberals, POC, & want women to be seen not heard. They're Dominionists. Sarah Palin was their entry into mainstream GOP politics. They want christofascist 3/
America! Take note! What happened today was an act of patriotism by Senator Booker for the people. But maybe it’s what happened next was most outstanding—the entire @SenateDems in the judiciary committee stood with Booker and therefore stood with the American people. 1/5
The @GOP wants you to believe that they are the party for the people. The way they want you to believe this is by just repeating the words over and over. Words are just words. What actionable items have the Republicans done for the American people? 2/5
Weren’t we taught actions speak louder than words? Think about which party fights for your right to healthcare and equality — which party fights for your right to live out the American Dream by giving those willing to work hard for it, every possibility to achieve it. 3/5
The American people are confronted with a #GOP Congress and Administration that are relentlessly ransacking the futures of American families and seniors, all to further enrich their lobbyist and special interest friends, big corporations and the wealthiest one percent. /1
From health care, to taxes, to good-paying jobs, to critical consumer protections, President Trump and the #Republican Congress are selling out the American people at every turn: /2 #ARawDeal #CultureOfCorruption #RepublicanGreed
#Democrats must be ready to drive home our case to the American people about how a Democratic majority will fight For The People:/3 #ForAll #ForThePeople #ABetterDeal #PrincipledDemocraticLeadership
As the walls close in around Trump and his culture of corruption is exposed, more people will try to distract you with lies.
They’ll shout desperately “look over there!” and argue that you should accept criminality because he’s “shaking things up.”
It’s utter nonsense. 1/

The truth is that Trump isn’t “sticking it to the elites,” he’s shoveling money into their pockets.
Big banks, pharmaceutical giants, CEOs, Wall Street firms, and the wealthiest 1% are making out like bandits under Trump. They couldn’t be happier. 2/

This is *intentional*
When Trump touts “tax cuts” and “deregulation,” he’s bragging about weakening protections for public health and economic safety to make rich people richer.
It comes with a price: high deficits. They want to pay for it with Medicaid and Medicare cuts. 3/

The Republican #CultureOfCorruption stretches from California to North Carolina.
Laura Riddick, a Republican first elected in 1996 & re-elected most recently in 2016, pleads guilty to 6 counts of embezzling from the Wake Co Register of Deeds while she led the office - $926K

As we watch a parade of GOP criminals, remember not all public servants are corrupt.
Amy Kloubucher, Sally Yates, Tim Kaine, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Liz Warren, Chris Murphy, Joe Biden, Joe Kennedy know what public service is about - us, all of us

Howard Dean, Senator Shaheen, Cory Booker, Patty Murray, Tammy Baldwin, Adam Schiff, Beto ORourke, Sharice Davids, Stacey Abrams, Amy McGrath ... so many people of integrity fighting hard to make a positive difference on heathcare, wages, equality, infrastructure, Social Sec
Today’s guilty verdicts against Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort & guilty plea by Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, are further evidence of the rampant #CultureOfCorruption & criminality at the heart of Trump’s inner circle.
Cohen’s admission of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in hush money “at the direction of the candidate” to influence the 2016 election shows @realDonaldTrump’s claims of ignorance to be far from accurate, & places him in even greater legal jeopardy.
These convictions are further proof that Special Counsel Mueller’s team & prosecutors in New York are conducting thorough & professional investigations, which must be permitted to continue free from interference. #FollowTheFacts goo.gl/DQXT4Q

This week’s indictment of #GOP Congressman Chris Collins shines a stark light on the rampant culture of corruption and self-enrichment among #Republicans in Washington today/2 #Collins #CorruptGOP #SwampThings
..and the story continues to widen as reporters unearth at least six other #GOP current and former Members of Congress who have recently owned or sold stock in Innate Immunotherapeutics, the Australian company at the center of the arrest of Rep. Collins./3 #GOPCORRUPT #Collins
There's been so much corruption, waste, and incompetence in the Trump Administration lately that it's hard to keep track of it all.
Rather than do anything about it, the Republicans who control Congress cover it up or even indulge in corruption themselves.

A Secretary of Commerce accuse of "grifting" millions of dollars from business partners.
A Secretary of Education who is avoiding taxes by registering her families $40 million yacht in the Cayman Islands, all while making it harder for American students to pay for a college education.

The #ON #NDP are not the answer. #Horwath as failed time and again. I have no idea why the party has kept her in this long. This will be her 4th? 5th? loss. It's a very dumb party. Any other party would have replaced her after the 2nd loss. ...2

Don't believe what you read/hear about @fordnation! Slanderous lies and fake narratives that everyone just runs with; even the media.
He's not a drug dealer. For heaven-sake! Ridiculous lies. Did he sell weed when he was 18? Who knows. F%ck, it was the 80s. Who didn't? 😜 ...3

He loved his brother. He tried so hard to help him; to protect him. Rob (a great guy) was mentally ill. An addict. At the lowest point in his life. And the media (the Toronto Star mostly) completely butchered him. What he needed was compassion. ...4
