Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.

I would know because I wrote the law.

Student loans are the 2nd highest form of household debt in America. Harris never said a word about it.

"[Liz Cheney's] a warmonger, just like her father. How did Halliburton make all their money? First they go in, they destroy a country, then Halliburton builds it back up. That's how they make their money – it's not right."

That's not from a DSA activist. That's from a Trump supporter in a MAGA hat, talking to @novaramedia on election night.

Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar won re-election by comfortable margins and the rest of the party are fighting for their lives in these states.

Let’s not pretend we don’t know how that happened.🤷🏻

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Merrick Garland is America's Neville Chamberlain. The story of how Garland sabotaged student debt cancellation has not been told *at all* by anyone in the press, but it is a story that needs to be told by historians.
