- If forgiving student debt was a massive giveaway to the rich, politicians would have done it alreadyForgiving student debt is a massive windfall to the rich, to the college educated, and most of all to the corrupt university administrators of America. No bailouts for a corrupt system. Republicans must fight this with every ounce of our energy and power.
- Democrats raised half a billion dollars online in the two weeks after Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death before throwing in the towel on Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination - rejecting stalling tactics, refusing to ask tough questions - while publicly opposing the idea of adding court seats

- CVS (which owns health insurance giant Aetna) donated $5 million in 2020 to the front group created to oppose Medicare for AllToday, as we reflect on Dr. King’s legacy, we are reminded of how far we have come and how much farther we have to go to achieve true equality. That’s why CVS Health is addressing racial inequality through several areas, including access to health care.
theintercept.comCVS Health Quietly Made Massive Donation to Dark-Money Group Fighting Access to CareThe pharmacy and health insurance giant quietly gave $5 million to Partnership for America’s Health Care Future. - Have to believe a big factor in Ed Markey’s win was his willingness to outright brutalize Joe Kennedy, including to his face. This is the thing I don’t think Bernie ever got - absolutely no one wanted to see him be nice to his friend, Joe Biden.
