If you're a public official and you're frightened of the public seeing a record of what you've done, if you're worried the public will be angry w/ you when they see it, you have thoroughly justified making those records public. #ncpol #ncga #AndrewBrownJr #BlackLivesMatter

For over 10 days now, around half the residents of Jackson, Mississippi have not had running water.
And nobody is talking about it on a national scale.
I am begging the national media to please pay attention. There is a crisis happening in Jackson.

There is a deep problem in our democracy when the Executive branch is willing to bend over backwards to defer to arcane Senate rules to deny Americans a $15 wage but at the same time ride roughshod over Congressional rules & procedures to launch military strikes abroad.

Abolish the filibuster.
Replace the parliamentarian.
What’s a Democratic majority if we can’t pass our priority bills? This is unacceptable.

A study by Purdue university shows that a $15 minimum wage for McDonald’s workers would raise the cost of a big mac by just 17 cents. Share if you wouldn’t mind paying a little extra for your meal if the person who made it could earn a living wage!

Sorry we're not going to be able to do the $2000 checks thing, or the cancelling student debt thing, or the $15 minimum wage thing. Would you accept payment in the form of social media "dunking" on Senate Republicans instead?

Today marks 1 month that Biden has not fulfilled his pledge to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin say a $15 minimum wage doesn’t belong in a Covid relief bill.
Here’s what I say: if you’re not willing to help people suffering during a pandemic, you don’t belong in Congress.

Dems fight for a $15 minimum wage, when it should be over $20.
Dems fight for a $1400 one-time payment when it should be $3K monthly.
Dems expand the child cages when they should shut them down.
Dems politely ask ICE to be nice when they should abolish ICE.
Notice a pattern?

Does President Biden have the authority to end the crisis?
Yes! The federal government owns 92% of the $1.7 trillion in student debt. Biden can forgive it with the stroke of a pen.

#CancelStudentDebt
Biden's administration's blathering about reviewing if he can legally forgive $10k-$50k student loan debt via exective order is a red herring—an intentional distraction.
His Education Secretary 100% (no doubt about it) has legal authority to forgive ALL OF IT.
Joe Biden says he isn't sure if he has authority to cancel student debt.
So we asked a debt expert at Harvard Law School.
He does. He could do it today—and bring immediate relief to 43+ million Americans. @ei_conn explains how.
