The 2022 law provides at least $370 billion to reduce carbon pollution by boosting the production of wind, solar and other renewable energy, and providing millions of dollars in tax credits to homeowners and consumers to move away from fossil fuels.” #BidenHarris2024 #biden

McCarthy’s debt ceiling plan would slash school funding, impacting 25M kids in schools with low-income students and 7.5M students with disabilities.

Oh, and it could force a reduction of up to 108,000 teachers, aides, and other key staff.

The GOP's priorities are crystal clear.

RT @IlhanMN
Kevin McCarthy is holding the global economy hostage in order to:

• Take away food stamps
• Kick millions off health insurance
• Make it easier for billionaires to dodge taxes
• Block student loan forgiveness
• Kill over 100,000 green energy jobs

Stop this manufactured crisis!
