US Congresswoman, NY-14. In a modern, moral, and wealthy society, no American should be too poor to live. People-Funded, takes no lobbyistπ°. Personal account.
The cynics will tell you that one vote wonβt change anything.
But what they donβt tell you is that nothing can change without a vote.
The truth is, the world doesnβt belong to the cynics. Itβs up to us.
New York: Itβs time to vote.π³οΈ
Tuesday, June 25th.
Spread the word.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.
Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.
Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.
Can NY forgive @elmo for this tweet?
"We all make mistakes," said Congresswoman @AOC, adding "I think maybe Rocco wrote the tweet anyways."
The @nyknicks lost narrowly to the @spurs last night, but still lead the series 2-1.
The NBA Finals continue tomorrow night.
NEW: We brought @AOC to deep red Georgia to talk data centers.
We found a data center rebellion, with people willing to radically shift their politics.
One conservative voter said: "If there's a chance that anything can be done, I feel like she's gonna be the one to do it."
