@fobaction.bsky.social"A year on the road taught me what Trump and Republicans in Congress keep getting wrong: people aren't asking for a gentler decline. They want to take their kid to the doctor, feed their family, and see billionaires play by the same rules." Read Kristen Crowell's new op-ed ⬇️
@taxwarroom.bsky.socialReposted by @fobaction.bsky.socialMeta paid just 3.5% of its 2025 profits in federal corporate income taxes. Part of the trick: claiming a research tax credit on equipment for its AI data centers. A break meant for innovation, turned into a subsidy for business as usual.
@fobaction.bsky.socialHEADS UP: Over the next decade, 2 to 3 million Americans who earn student debt cancellation after making payments for 20+ years could be hit with a massive "tax bomb" because of Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
@voteractionproject.orgReposted by @fobaction.bsky.socialAn unusual ruling in Florida — in a case that is part of the Trump regime’s bid to spread fear about noncitizen voting — could raise questions about the constitutionality of the sweeping voter suppression measure being pushed by the president.

@fobaction.bsky.social“People know something is deeply out of balance. Because of decisions made in Washington, it’s clearer than ever that the ultra rich are hoarding America’s wealth and convincing policymakers to abandon the public services everyday people rely on.” - Kristen Crowell
@wemakemn.bsky.socialReposted by @fobaction.bsky.social“We’re seeing a shortage of wildland firefighters. It’s important that we continue to fund our line of work. We’re consistently, and with climate change, fighting more fires more aggressively. And we’re seeing fires now year-round, even just in Minnesota.”

@fobaction.bsky.socialToday we released two new videos featuring people we met during our “Who Pays?” bus tour, alongside a new op-ed from Kristen Crowell reflecting on what she has heard from average Americans about the harm the policies of Trump and the GOP are doing every day. Check it out here:

@taxwarroom.bsky.socialReposted by @fobaction.bsky.socialSince 1978: 📈 CEO pay: up 1,316% 📉 Typical worker pay: up 28%. Same economy. Same decades. Very different rules. Time to rewrite them: tax wealth, raise the corporate rate, raise the minimum wage.
@taxwarroom.bsky.socialReposted by @fobaction.bsky.socialMore than HALF of adults got hit with a major unexpected expense this past year.
1 in 4 skipped medical care because of the cost.
1 in 4 renters fell behind. That's "getting by" in the economy Trump & Republicans in Congress built.

@fobaction.bsky.social71% of voters want their state to tax the wealth of the richest households — stocks, bonds, real estate, all of it.
That's a +46-point margin.
Taxing billionaires isn't fringe.
Republicans in Congress are the ones out of step.

@wemakemn.bsky.socialReposted by @fobaction.bsky.socialIn 1990, 6.6% of Minnesota’s budget went to MN State. Today it’s 2.7%. 60% of MN undergrads attend one of its 33 schools, which train nurses, teachers, tradespeople, and enrich our communities with educational opportunities. Our students deserve a state that funds their future.

🌭 Hot dogs: +6.3%
⛽ Gas: $4.15

@ncbudget.bsky.socialReposted by @fobaction.bsky.socialHave you heard? The proposed property tax amendment on NC’s 2026 ballot threatens to limit the primary source of revenue local governments can rely on to meet our needs, WITHOUT guaranteeing anyone a lower property tax bill.
@taxwarroom.bsky.socialReposted by @fobaction.bsky.socialOne snapshot of the Trump-GOP economy: 📉 Wages behind inflation 5 straight months 🏥 Premiums rising ~3x faster than pay ⚡ Energy up 16.3% in a year 🧾 Tariffs: $1,000+ per household They rigged it. We're keeping the receipts.
@ncbudget.bsky.socialReposted by @fobaction.bsky.socialWhat you may not know is that the two tax amendments on NC’s ballot would risk whether or not we have enough money to address the needs of Hurricane Helene survivors.
That’s all because our lawmakers prefer to cater to corporations with more tax breaks. www.heraldsun.com/ne...
