This #TaxDay, it's important to remember the disaster that's transpired over the past year: a massive tax package where the main beneficiaries are the rich, health care tax credits taken away from working families, and tariffs that raise costs on everyone

This year, Oregon lawmakers finally smelled the BS in the QSBS tax break for superrich investors.
The #orleg put an end to this wasteful tax subsidy at the state level.
The federal government, sadly, continues to subsidize superrich investors @itep.org
‼️ RAGE! Four of the corporations whose CEOs sat front row during President Trump’s January 2025 inauguration ceremony have collectively received $51 billion in federal tax breaks in 2025.

The kicker is a forecasting error, plain and simple. Rather than invest in schools or other essential services, Oregon has spent $11 BILLION over the past decade on kicker rebates, with more than 62% of that amount going to the most well off --> bit.ly/4clXJcO
Dumb policy leads to bad outcomes
The right to vote in Oregon is under threat from the Trump administration. Hear from Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read, the state’s chief elections officer.

Yes we can! Washington just voted in a workforce standard board for the childcare industry... and Oregon can too 😀 OCPP advocates for workforce standard boards for both farm workers and long-term care workers.

Depressed economic activity. Lower tax collections. Bigger federal deficits. These are how the Trump administration's mass deportation policies backfire on the U.S. economy

Wow, the Washington legislature keeps hitting it out of the park! First a millionaire's tax. Now a #WorkforceStandardsBoard for child care workers! This is exactly the kind of policy we need to improve pay and working conditions in low-wage sectors
Let's hope the #ORleg is paying attention! 👀
Proposed Farm Bill Ignores Unfolding Food Assistance Crisis
"The farm bill presents a critical opportunity for Congress to reduce food insecurity by restoring and strengthening SNAP, our nation’s most important and effective anti-hunger program."

HUGE VICTORY for working families in our neighboring state! Congrats to @budget-policy.bsky.social and the many advocates in WA who made a millionaires tax possible.

"A farm bill does not support our nation’s food security if it ignores the needs of the millions of people across the U.S. who cannot consistently afford to put food on the table." - @tyjonescox.bsky.social on last night's vote to advance a deeply flawed farm bill: www.cbpp.org/press/statem...
😡 Unless you are rich, you've almost surely seen a tax increase when you combine all of Trump's tax policies from past year. Unbelievable.

Trump’s Treasury helped a major energy corporation pay zero federal income tax in 2025 by aggressively undermining the tax code.
Cheniere Energy now gets a $380 million refund from taxpayers.

As wealth inequality grows, so does the demand to tax the very top.
In 2022, we found that just a 2% wealth tax on billionaires would have raised $62 billion that year.
Current tax policy is clearly falling short of its potential.

Interesting turn of events! Instead further expanding tax breaks for #DataCenters, a revised bill would now pause them for a year
‼️ ERDC (Oregon's child care subsidy) runs out in 2027. Portland parent Natalie and her four kids can’t survive that.
‼️ Roughly 12,000 Oregon families could lose their state child care subsidy in January 2027.
