In January, the child poverty rate increased by 40% in just 1 month – jumping from 12.1% to 17% as 3.7 million children slipped into poverty. How did this happen? 50 Republicans and 1 corporate Democrat allowed the $300 a month Child Tax Credit to expire. That is morally obscene.

But don't forget that's only possible if EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN also votes against her. They're all to blame.https://t.co/XPnmjTnCf1
