I think this story is a counterargument against the idea that @jamestalarico’s faith and values only take him as far as Democratic orthodoxy allows, and it should nuance that kind of criticism against him.

My name is Charles Booker. I am a proud Kentuckian, and I am running for United States Senate to defeat Rand Paul. I have 5 words for you as we start this day:
We will win this race.
The Bush admin told NY the air was safe to breathe, they said we should return to normal and go shopping. Rescue & cleanup workers were told to not wear masks bc it could frighten the public. OSHA was kept away. Then it took 9 years to get a decent law covering their health care
💡We need this—“When a wastewater sample from one college dorm came back positive this week, the school quickly tested all 311 people who live and work there and found 2 #COVID19 asymptomatic students. They were quickly quarantined”—preventing outbreak! https://t.co/mxePQhbjfs
In UK, any household can get a **7-pack** of rapid tests every day for free…
An incredible example of what taking a true public health approach with regard to #COVID19 testing looks like.
This is a horrible horrible garbage take. I can’t believe @TheAtlantic published this garbage. It’s not true and it’s extremely dangerous message—it’ll make some skip their kids vaccinations later. horrid! #COVID19#CovidVaccine
Stop saying "money doesn't buy happiness."
A person making $100k won't be happier getting to $110k.
But lifting someone out of poverty is the most effective anti-depressant in the world.
Andrew Yang’s call for a universal basic income – handing every American adult $1,000 a month – was mostly dismissed when he made his 2020 presidential run. But the idea is playing out in a growing number of cities, with surprising results. https://t.co/ciIGX6Coww

Very wealthy people already have a student loan forgiveness program. It’s called their parents.
The idea that millionaires and billionaires are willingly letting their kids drown in federal student loans & that’s why we can’t go big on forgiveness is about as silly as it sounds.
