Who won the #GOPTaxScam?
— Grant Stern (@grantstern) July 19, 2019
Big corporations got $91 billion.
Who lost?
Individuals paid $93 billion more in taxes.
Still think that income inequality can't be fixed by the government?
All it takes is 50 Senators and the presidency.#FridayThoughts https://t.co/sok5wbqq1a

More Trump lies – the chant and other topics
Trump falsely claims the congresswomen have talked about "evil Jews," adding, "That's what they say, evil Jews." None of them have said that. Omar once tweeted that Israel has committed "evil doings."

Trump told press in April 2018 “no,” he didn’t know about payments to Stormy Daniels. Today, federal search warrants show how he and others scrambled to arrange hush-money details to hide the alleged affairs before 2016 election. https://t.co/EyRQkJqQoD https://t.co/VckEKWPUQl

.@realDonaldTrump is lying. Watch as he waits for 13 seconds and at least 9 chants of "send her back" before speaking.

New Orwellian @GOP mantra: "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” #ThursdayThoughts https://t.co/cPRgN9UGUQ
The president said he"started speaking very quickly" to end the "Send her back" chant. That's a demonstrable lie.

– Trump begins diatribe against Omar
– Crowd starts chanting, "Send her back!"
– Trump nods, pauses so chant can continue
– Someone tells Trump leading a white nationalist rally is a bridge to far
– Trump lies, says he tried to stop the chant pic.twitter.com/MlMDyjvtOM
REPORTER: Why didn't you ask your fans to stop chanting "send her back"?

TRUMP: "Number one, I think I did. I started speaking very quickly."

1) Puerto Rico was hit much harder than Texas and Florida. Some 3,000 people died in the storm and its aftermath.
2) $92 billion has not been given to PR. That is an estimate for long-term total. pic.twitter.com/kpGle7NZ5O
"We haven't had an empty seat at any event" Trump says. Not true.

Trump could win the Electoral College and lose the popular vote again in 2020
This is a very real possibility. I don’t care about national popular vote polls as much as polls in swing states that will determine the election.
Analysis: Hillary Clinton got 2.9M more votes than Donald Trump in the 2016 election, but Trump comfortably prevailed in the Electoral College.
— NBC News (@NBCNews) July 19, 2019
It's possible in 2020 that he could win 5M fewer votes than his opponent — and still win a second term. https://t.co/4qqY0wjr4d
i still think folks are underestimating the danger of this outcome and the real threat it poses to american democracy. https://t.co/RUxWCVfMks

A world where Dems win their 2016 states plus MI and PA is one where they have 268 EVs. They either need to win a third red state OR win both Maine’s 2nd District (the part of the state that isn’t the SE coast) and Nebraska’s 2nd District (Omaha and part of its suburbs). https://t.co/xt4Q12YJmL

And not incidentally on that front how country will react if Trump or future Republican nominee wins EC but loses popular vote by 6 or 7 million votes, not 2 or so. How far can that rubber band stretch without consequence? https://t.co/HvxH9uvhlP
— Ronald Brownstein (@RonBrownstein) July 16, 2019
I think DEM would really be shooting themselves in the foot if they allowed CA to keep Trump off the ballot due to tax returns. If Trump won the EC and lost the popular vote just like that time, it would be easier for the GOP to use the state as a scapegoat for justifying the EC.

Blue states subsidize red states
Blue states were already subsidizing red states before Trump’s vindictive tax cuts that punished states that didn’t vote for him. Now NY, NJ, and CT are suing IRS for blocking a workaround to the $10,000 limit on state/local tax deductions.
The tax cuts could also further penalize blue states by causing people to move from them.
NJ, NY, and CT sued @stevenmnuchin1 and the IRS this morning over a new rule blocking a workaround to the $10,000 cap on SALT deductions. @CNBC got the first interview with NJ's @GovMurphy, he told us the new IRS rule is "dead wrong." pic.twitter.com/yPaMGnDTpb

"In 2017, Kentucky received $40 billion more from the federal government than it paid in taxes. That’s about one-fifth of the state’s G.D.P.; if Kentucky were a country, we’d say that it was receiving foreign aid on an almost inconceivable scale."https://t.co/EUULmuRu1E

He propagated conspiracy nonsense about caravans. He took credit for Obama energy permits. He used a wildly inaccurate stat about migrants while saying he was making sure to be accurate. And more.
