Democrats are really bad at this game.
We run from one catastrophe to the next with our hair on fire, and our rhetoric becomes increasingly desperate in the process. We fail to understand regional politics and how our rhetoric is used against us in purple districts.

#AbolishICE
There are plenty of things about #ICE that need to be changed. But the only way to change that is by being in power. How can we not see that the idea to #AbolishICE can be used as a broad message of @TheDemocrats being anit-law enforcement and for #OpenBorders???
Just today, I was listening to the @MSignorile show, and he promoted #AbolishICE as a good slogan for Dems to run on. I would ask Mr Signorile to look at the political calculus for #RedState Dems who'll be forced to defend that rhetoric and oppose #Trump's #SCOTUS pick
While we're waiting for the polls to close (and doing last-minute GOTV!), we're going to tell our story of the past year and a half. Win or lose tonight, we think it's a story worth telling
We got started in November 2016 (before @IndivisibleTeam existed!), with help from the amazing organizers at Syracuse Peace Council, @WorkersCNY, Black Lives Matter Syracuse, and others
By Dec 2016, we were writing and calling @repjohnkatko to request a meeting. After weeks of frustration, #WheresKatko? was born

THREAD: The new tax law is a raw deal for the middle class. 83% of the benefits go to the 1%, and it blows a $1.5 trillion hole in the deficit. But don't just take my word for it, here's 42 examples of how the #TaxScam hurts working families as well as a vision for #ABetterDeal:
A plurality—42%–think the tax cuts favor the wealthy most of all. Only 29.6% say they favor the working and middle class. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tax…

Today, March 1st, a minimum-wage worker catches up to what she made in 2009--the last time Congress raised the poverty-level minimum wage (as my colleague @rwest817 shows in new @amprog analysis) americanprogress.org/issues/poverty…
In 2018, a worker earning $7.25/hr must work an extra 41 days—more than 2 additional months!—just to earn the same amount as she did in a single year when the federal minimum wage was last increased. 2/x
As a result, a full-time minimum-wage worker will lose a staggering $2,370 in purchasing power this year.
That's more than ***47 times*** the average tax cut she gets under the #TrumpTaxScam. 3/x

Know how Social Security and Medicare are referred to as the “third rail” – because cutting them is understood to be political suicide?
Well, it turns out it’s not just Social Security & Medicare.

Trump and Congressional Republicans learned the hard way last year how immensely popular Medicaid is, when in many ways it saved the ACA.
New polling shows a whopping **80% of Americans** oppose cutting Medicaid.

If you want to play along, here is the actual Full Text of Tax Plan aka #GOPTaxScam I am going to start reading and commenting follow if you want thread 1/? docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
If you acquire a new home, you can only deduct $750,000 in interest, compared to $1,000,000.00 before. This could impact many homes in California, NY, and in a lot of urban areas that vote Democrat. #TrumpTax Plan 2/?
The #StudentLoan interest deduction will remain. Because they did not repeal all of the #EstateTax they just raised the exemption from 5 million to 10 million. #GOPTaxPlan 3/?
I feel like this is an episode of #RickandMorty, but we have to do a sequel to first #TwitterStorm now with 280 characters. I will be going through this #GOPRiot where they loot middle-America. So the thread begins here. 1/?
Not that the #GOP cares about #DACA or #undocumented families. But they use #SEC11022 to not allow undocumented parents to receive a tax credit for their children. These is cruel unjust and unAmerican. 2/?
#Sec11023 With the language to repeal the #JohnsonAmendment contained in the house amendment they have allowed an increase of cash contributions to #Charity as a means to funnel the money to #GOP candidates in a tax free fashion. This is not what Jesus would do or want. 3/\?
Stay tuned for more on #Trumprussia and the CNP tonight!
#BREAKING I have - in my possession - a document - entitled The "CNP Vision for America" It sounds like the #TrumpRussia administrtion in a nutshell. #TrumpTaxScam #TaxReform #Resist 
2. This is from 1988: The First Point: Balance Budget and Pay off debt - AND SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT IF NECESSARY. Sounds familiar?

House Republicans have passed tax legislation and the Senate now is considering a bill which a bipartisan analysis projects would immediately raise taxes for almost 14 million middle income Americans.

So. Lots of people have been talking about how bad this #TrumpTaxScam is for so many Americans. They are right. It is terrible.
But not enough people are talking about how bad this tax bill is for women in particular.

HEALTH CARE
The #sneakyrepeal of a key ACA provision in the tax bill would lead to 13 million more Americans uninsured within the next decade. The ACA as a whole would be weakened – threatening critical benefits for women like access to contraception and cancer screenings. 2/

.@RepKevinBrady: He's a driving force and key salesman behind the #TrumpTaxScam. The top 1% of Texans get a tax cut 3x as big as folks in the middle, as % of income.
.@SamsPressShop (Rep. Sam Johnson): He voted for #TrumpTaxScam even though it will RAISE taxes on nearly a quarter of middle-class Texans.

We've killed the ACA repeal THREE TIMES and calls to Congress were cited as the biggest reason for the success.
Calls to Congress are vital!

Good morning! It's #TrumpTaxScam day. Here's what to expect. 1/
At 9am, W&M Chair Kevin Brady will walk the rest of the House Rs thru the #TrumpTaxScam via PowerPoint. We'll know more shortly after. 2/

🚨 There is a small fissure in the House Republican caucus RIGHT NOW that is holding up the #TrumpTaxScam. Let's blow it open. 🚨 1/
The House is supposed to vote *tomorrow* on the Senate budget resolution, which sets up the #TrumpTaxScam. 2/
But 1st Rs from NY & NJ want assurances the state & local tax deduction (SALT) will be preserved in #TrumpTaxScam. Leadership won't do it 3/
Let the fact-checking begin #TrumpTaxScam
Fact-check: it is the biggest tax cut for the *wealthy* #TrumpTaxScam
Health care fact-check: There are NOT the votes for #GrahamCassidy
