Hey everyone.
The Republican arsonists in the House are going to force a default on American debt unless Congress guts veterans care and food aid for kids to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Reminder: this is the fourth time Raphael Warnock has won an election against a Republican over the span of two years in Georgia. And I have a feeling he is only getting started...

This is incredibly insulting to the more than 1 million Georgians living with diabetes.

It’s time for #paidleaveforall
The US is one of six countries in the world without national paid family or maternity leave. Glamour followed the journey of eight women through their first 28 days postpartum to find out what paid leave looks like in America. #PassPaidLeave glmr.co/0QXBhia

Remember when they said we don’t need gun laws we need more mental healthcare??
Yeah, they didn’t mean that.
39 days until Election Day.

The only way to counter an increasingly effective Chinese industrial policy is with an even more effective American industrial policy. Ours will be very different than theirs, but pretending the private sector alone can compete with China is foolhardy. nytimes.com/2021/12/22/busin…

@CommerceGov determination makes clear that the United States’ complete reliance on imports of rare earth magnets is a threat to our national security & recommends increased domestic production including passing my Rare Earth Magnet Manufacturing PTC Act.

Millions of students across the country are on the verge of getting student loan relief. In Congress, I’m still pushing for long-term reforms, such as zero percent interest on student loans, which could save borrowers up to $600 per year.
For many with student loans, the interest hurts the most. This congressman would know latimes.com/politics/story/2…

Obviously the topline $10k-$20k forgiveness is going to get the headlines, but this income-based repayment plan rule will have a big impact for low and middle-income borrowers (especially straight out of college)
Sarah Shapiro retweeted
Student debt is a twin crisis. The crisis of what borrowers are paying today, keeping millions in financial quicksand. And the crisis of what colleges are charging students today, setting up an even larger universe of borrowers for the future.

Run on personal freedom.
Run on keeping the government out of your private life.
Run on getting your rights back.
This is where the energy is. This is where the 2022 election will be won.

Every once in awhile politics genuinely surprises you. This is one of those days

Ohio US Senate candidate JD Vance says women are obligated to stay in “violent” marriages.
Each month, 70 women are fatally shot by intimate partners in the US, and 1 million women alive today have been shot or shot at by intimate partners. #ohsen vice.com/en/article/93abve/j…

What if two years ago, I told you that by the end of Biden's first two years:
- 10 million new jobs
- 3.6% unemployment
- 86% drop in COVID death rate
- biggest ever infrastructure bill PASSED
- first gun safety bill in 30 yrs PASSED
(wait, just getting started...keep reading)

NEW: Today the US House is debating a bill to repeal #PLCAA, a misguided law passed in 2005 giving the gun industry a legal liability shield that no other industry has. As a result, they make record profits while gun violence reaches record levels. Here’s why that matters…

So now that 10 year olds are being forced to bear the children of their rapists, conservatives have suddenly decided that terminating pregnancies of 10 year olds is no longer an “abortion”, so everything is ok again.
Can’t make this up.
