economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 30/09/20261/ 🚨 BREAKING: @governor.ca.gov just signed the COMPETE Act into law, concluding a multi-year campaign to update California's antitrust laws for the first time in more than a century. #COMPETEAct #AB1776 🧵 121
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 30/09/2026Last year, Republicans gutted funding for food aid and healthcare programs that working folks rely on, just to give rich donors a tax cut. Now, millions of families are skipping the doctor and sending kids to school with empty stomachs. It's time to hold the GOP accountable. #ThePriceIsHigh 033
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 29/09/2026Childcare now costs more than college in every state, and costs more than a mortgage in nearly every state. Trump and Republicans campaigned on lowering costs for young families, but failed to do anything about their single biggest budget line item. #ThePriceIsHigh 002
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 28/09/2026Gas. Groceries. Healthcare. Trump and Congressional Republicans swore they'd cut costs, but since they took office, prices for all of these basic needs (and more!) have soared. It's time to tell the GOP: talk is cheap. The cost of living isn't. #ThePriceIsHigh 000
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 25/09/2026To fix the cost of living crisis, we have to lower prices AND make sure Americans have more cash in their pockets. A monthly, expanded #ChildTaxCredit would help working families afford sky-high prices for gas, groceries, and more. @momsrising.org @repdelbene.bsky.social #ThePriceIsHigh 000
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 24/09/2026Between premiums, co-pays, and deductibles, healthcare costs too much and insurance is too hard to navigate. Instead of fixing it, Trump and Republicans cut taxes for rich insurance CEOs and made coverage even MORE expensive for everyone. #ThePriceIsHigh 001
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 23/09/2026First, he called the cost of living crisis a “hoax.” Then, he said Americans “may be paying a little more.” Last week, he argued it’s “an inexpensive price to pay” for his harmful agenda. 💸 President Trump can’t dodge the fact that he's stretching millions of families thin: 100
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 23/09/2026Gas. Groceries. Healthcare. Childcare. Electricity. Republicans like Rep. Valadao promised relief, but voted to raise the price of these basic essentials while gutting the social safety net. Now, Central Valley families are footing the bill for his costly broken promises. 👇 See for yourself 100
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 23/09/2026Republicans promised lower prices. But today, working folks are struggling more than ever. That's because Republicans put profits over people and raised prices for all of us. 🧵 We have the Receipts to prove it. economicsecurity.us/campaign/rec... #ThePriceIsHigh 111
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 15/09/2026How are families supposed to get ahead when childcare now costs more than college? Childcare costs have skyrocketed in recent years, and families are getting priced out. Parents don't need motivation to work harder. They need affordable childcare and cash. @momsrising.org 0105
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 11/09/2026Trump is making an empty promise to give Americans cash to cover for the fact that he raised gas, grocery, and health costs in the first place. Families need relief from GOP prices, but there's a better way to get cash back in folks' pockets. Listen to @repdelbene.bsky.social explain: 010
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 11/09/2026Terminating healthcare. Gutting food aid. Cutting taxes for the ultra-rich. The Republican agenda isn't helping moms and families deal with the cost of living crisis. 👉 Listen to @momsrising.org's Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner break down exactly what our leaders should do instead: 064
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 01/09/20261/ Right now in California, it’s legal for a grocery giant to close up, leave town, then block any other grocery store from taking its place for 50 years. 🧵⬇️ 100
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 31/08/2026The COMPETE Act is officially headed to @governor.ca.gov’s desk. 🎉 Yesterday, the bill cleared the Senate at a vote of 30-9, and then sailed through the Assembly with a vote of 60-16. ESCA’s Teri Olle was quoted in @calmatters.org on what this bill would mean. 🔗 calmatters.org/politics/202... 010
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 13/08/2026We were in Sacramento this week with workers, small business owners, labor leaders, lawmakers, and advocates calling on the State Senate to pass the COMPETE Act. California has a chance to rein in corporate power and restore fair competition. It’s time to pass AB 1776. 132
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 31/07/20261/ Big Pharma and the California Chamber of Commerce have spent seven figures on ads to kill a bill that would let small businesses fight back against monopolies. That alone tells you who this legislation actually threatens. 🧵⬇️ 110
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 30/07/202661 years ago, Medicaid was signed into law. 1 year ago, the GOP gutted it to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Read our statement from ESCAA Legislative Advocate Loyal Terry: economicsecurity.us/news/califor... 000
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 07/05/2026Today, Chanelle shared her story with Illinois lawmakers. As a mom preparing to welcome her third child, she knows firsthand how expensive and stressful pregnancy and postpartum care can be. NEST would change that. Illinois can make this happen. 011
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 06/05/2026The GOP cut healthcare to give tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations. We'll all feel the consequences of that shameful tradeoff soon - but some folks will feel the pain more sharply than others. It's time to stop the #HealthcareHeist once and for all. 000
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 30/04/2026Republicans gutted Medicaid to give tax cuts to the rich.

economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 29/04/2026Between groceries, gas, housing, and more, families are paying way too much for the basics. We can't afford for lawmakers to rely on the same old playbook to bring down costs. We need big, bold ideas. That's why we're proud to support @usprogressives.bsky.social New Affordability Agenda. 100
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 28/04/2026Illinois calls it a flat tax. Millionaires aren’t paying it. Luxury loopholes let the wealthiest reduce their taxable income to a fraction of what they earn. We’re pushing to close them. ESILA’s Sarah Saheb makes the case via @crainschicago.bsky.social. 🔗 www.chicagobusiness.com/opinion/comm... 000

economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 15/04/2026🧵Our tax code serves the ultra-rich, not working families. It's not a mistake. It's a GOP policy choice. This #TaxDay, read on to see how our leaders could choose to deliver a fair tax system for all instead. 100
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 19/03/2026Last month, Trump bragged about his economy in the State of the Union. The night before, @fobaction.bsky.social held a town hall with everyday Americans to ask: one year in, have Trump and Republicans made your life more affordable? The answer was clear. 032
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 11/03/2026Republicans cut $1 trillion from Medicaid to give tax breaks to their rich friends. We dare every Republican to listen to Jay and his grandson Hayden's story and still claim that shameful tradeoff was the right choice. @fobaction.bsky.social 000
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 26/02/2026You shouldn't have to eat ramen and oatmeal every day just to pay your bills. The GOP could choose to help people like Gavin anytime. They're too busy giving tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations instead. @fobaction.bsky.social 000
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 25/02/2026The GOP cut healthcare to give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations. That's made the state of our union sicker and poorer.

economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 18/02/2026The GOP sent healthcare costs through the roof. Now, women are being forced into impossible choices: draining savings, delaying retirement, taking second jobs, or risking going uninsured together. But Republicans could choose to fund affordable healthcare anytime they want. 100
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 05/02/2026“No one should have to go hungry. Especially not in California, and especially not in the United States.” Our CA Campaigns Director Mónica Lazo spoke with Telemundo 33 in Sacramento this week while advocating alongside the #ProsperCA Coalition for leaders to expand the Young #ChildTaxCredit. 010
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 13/01/2026Nobody should have to consider selling their house to afford healthcare. But for millions of people like @repemilyrandall.bsky.social's constituent, that's the reality without ACA tax credits. Open enrollment ends in 2 days. The clock is ticking for the Senate to pass a 3-year extension. 000
economicsecurity.us @economicsecurity.us · 08/01/2026Iowa's GOP representatives voted to gut your healthcare so that health insurance CEOs and big Pharma can get a giant tax cut. Luckily, they can start fixing their mistake today. Step 1: extend the ACA credits #HealthcareHeist 100
