I hear Republicans complaining about $20,000 in student debt forgiveness. Funny, I didn't hear those complaints when Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times & had $287 million in loans forgiven by big banks. The GOP l-o-v-e-s socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the rest.

Mayor @SylvesterTurner and @HoustonTX continue to waste millions of taxpayer dollars fighting the will of voters. We are hopeful that the TX Supreme Court will finally stop this madness and our members will finally be able to negotiate the contract they deserve! @FirefightersHOU

Those three boxes contain much more than 20,000+ voter signatures. They also contain hope for an end to the taxpayer-funded lawsuits and 4-year war against Houston firefighters and their families. The petitions for a vote on binding arbitration are now with the city secretary.

Krugman -- Republicans assert that they've become the party of the working class, but the truth is that they're continuing to wage a war against workers. The latest evidence: Republicans complain that benefits to the unemployed are far too generous nytimes.com/2021/05/10/opini…
