We can afford it. We can’t afford not to. #CancelStudentDebt
All of these moratoriums on debt collection show: -the debt burden on Americans is unsustainable & it’s destabilizing the economy -it’s not necessary to collect this debt if it can be paused for a whole year -we can afford to cancel debt & we must

Canceling student loan debt would have a huge impact on students of color and wealth inequality. #CancelStudentDebt cnbc.com/2021/01/22/elizabet…

Down payment assistance accounting for our history of housing discrimination and administrative action to #CancelStudentDebt are two powerful ways we can help close the racial wealth gap. I'm ready to work with @mlfudge and @CeciliaERouse to make that happen.

We need to relieve student debt in America. But we also need to solve the other half of the equation. No one should have to go into debt to get an education, period. We need tuition-free public college throughout the country now.

This week, Republicans objected to giving workers $1,200 checks to pay rent and feed their families. Why?  “The deficit.” They didn’t care about the deficit when they passed $2 trillion in tax cuts for big corporations and millionaires. The biggest deficit is in their values.

Why is it so hard for some people to believe That one guy got more votes by mail in a month than the other guy got from people showing up for one day. During a pandemic.

Sen. David Perdue fought against $1,200 stimulus checks for workers, and led the fight to cut unemployment insurance — while at the same time he gave billions to his corporate donors. I’m not taking corporate donations, and I'll always put working families first.

The nerve of people who ask “how are you going to pay for it?” whenever we propose building advanced public education, healthcare, & climate infrastructure yet defend a system where Trump pays $750 in taxes and Amazon pays none is beyond me.

This Labor Day, let’s thank all those who've kept our country going this year—nurses, teachers, delivery drivers, food service workers, and many more. We can honor them by building our system back even better—so that essential workers are treated like it, pandemic or not.

There have been so many norms broken in the Trump presidency that it’s hard to keep track of them all. I have covered just about every building DC. So I want to take a moment to note two shocking things from this week, based on my reporting past…1/7

The Postmaster General should know how much it costs to send a package. Louis DeJoy should resign.
