  RT [@RBReich](https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1450145044548050945) Kyrsten Sinema started her political career with the Green Party.

  Then she took over $900,000 from industry groups trying to kill Biden’s Build Back Better plan.

  Now she wants to cut $100 billion in climate funds included in the package.

  This is the power of big money, folks.

  RT [@RBReich](https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1448696901281271810) More than 10,000 John Deere workers just went on strike after rejecting the company’s latest contract offer. The workers are agitating to win back benefits they lost in the 1990s, as well as higher wages.

  This is what a powerful labor movement looks like, folks.

  RT [@RBReich](https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1445166814464339968) Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

  100%?
  500%?

  Try 1,322%

  Meanwhile, the $7.25/hour starvation wage hasn’t budged in over a decade.

  When I say we have a rigged for the rich system, this is what I mean.

  RT [@lindyli](https://twitter.com/lindyli/status/1443398956206247943) When asked by @AriNatter about the coal company:
  1) Manchin founded
  2) his son still owns
  3) from which he still earns $500K in dividends EACH year
  4) his wife got $600K

  Manchin said “You got a problem? You’d do best to change the subject”

  We ain’t changing the damn subject.

  RT [@egheitasean](https://twitter.com/egheitasean/status/1443360416386588679) This legislation is already paid for… at least it would be if Joe Manchin and his fellow Republicans agreed to have billionaires start paying taxes like the rest of us.

  RT [@RepAdamSchiff](https://twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff/status/1443027945963114509) Let’s not overcomplicate this:

  Republicans passed a $2 trillion tax cut for billionaires and corporations.

  And now they’re refusing to pay for it.

  It’s really that simple.
