Out of curiosity, which one of you will be covering the interest for my federal student loans that Aidvantage won’t allow me to pay off before Sept 1? @Aidvantage@usedgov#predatorylending#studentloans
if you have a problem with the student loan cancellation because you already paid off your loans, just pretend its a tax cut for the rich that you also never got but mysteriously didn't complain about.
Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) on 765 unintentional shooting deaths by children between 2015 and 2020:
"After 1 child died using a Peloton treadmill last year, the Consumer Product Safety Commission intervened... When hundreds of children die using guns, there is no federal response."
It was an exciting day getting to announce a huge milestone on our journey to build a more connected, sustainable world! Sourcing our electricity from renewable energy sources is just one way we’re working to responsibly manage our energy.

It must be absolutely exhausting for our nation’s students to watch some adults care more about teachers bringing history books to school than a gunman brining a weapon.
Rep. Liz Cheney in NH: "Will we do our duty? Will we do what we must? Will we defend our constitution? Will we stand for truth? Will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics? Or will we look away from the danger, ignore the threat, embrace the lies, and enable the liar?"

“Pro-freedom” states don’t execute innocent men because of the color of their skin. There is an opportunity here for Oklahoma to show itself as great state, one that rights wrongs and stands for justice over hypocrisy or the idolization of punishment. @GovStitt
It's Global Entrepreneurship Week!
Our pro-freedom, pro-business policies make Oklahoma the best state in nation to start and grow a business.

What does it say about us that willingly abandon justice in desperate attempts to place blame? One tragedy here is enough and will not be cancelled out with another. @GovStitt#FreeJuliusJones

US democracy totally broken when huge majorities support policies like paid leave, expanding healthcare, taxing wealthy, lowering prescription drug prices, protecting voting rights, gun control, etc & none of it becomes law b/c of undemocratic institutions & influence of big $
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but a $1T bill = $100 billion/year.
That’s the annual budget for NYC alone, but spread thin for everyone in the US.
Do you think that’s enough to be impactful? To be widely felt in people’s lives? It’s not. Sufficiency is the bare minimum.
