top retweets:
Today is a historic day for our country. Because beginning this morning, nearly all working families started receiving their first tax cut payment from the Child Tax Credit of up to $300 per child.

Help is here with the American Rescue Plan.
To give you a sense of how transformative the expanded Child Tax Credit is: It’s going to spur the largest-ever one-year decrease in child poverty in American history.

The #BidenChildTaxCredit is indeed a big deal for families across America.

But Republicans voted against the children's needs.

Today, 39 million families across the country will begin receiving the #BidenChildTaxCredit that Republicans voted against. https://t.co/esheqDJZE2

Every Republican in Congress voted against expanding the Child Tax Credit.

Every. Single. One.
But despite their opposition, those checks are hitting American families' bank accounts today.
And they're projected to cut child poverty in HALF.
Remember, not one Republican voted for the #BidenChildTaxCredit.

Thank you, @POTUS and Democrats! https://t.co/ehMTIUKjl2
If you’re one of the 39 million households receiving their first Child Tax Credit payment today, don’t forget that every single Republican voted against it.

As a childless person, I am THRILLED that the child tax credit checks are going out this week. When children and families are well-cared for, we all benefit.

It is super weird that Republicans are not being asked why they oppose the child tax credit. It’s popular, efficient, and effective. But, I guess, critical race theory Ebola inflation caravan.

The expanded Child Tax Credit is one of the largest-ever single-year tax cuts for families with children. And it’s a reflection of my belief that the people who need a tax cut aren’t those at the top. It’s the folks in the middle, and the folks who are struggling.
