The Trump administration is trying to sell federal student loans to private companies.
This sale would be a giveaway to wealthy insiders at the expense of working-class borrowers and taxpayers.
It’s a tremendous mistake, and I’m fighting back.

California needs an immediate massive tax on billionaires to help with rising health care costs and insurance loss due to our absent federal government. My premiums are set to rise 80%! Yours?

This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

With the looks fading that made her Roger Ailes' darling at Fox News, Megyn will do and say anything to remain relevant. I guess she forgot she herself said she is a survivor of sexual assault at Fox, or is it only problem when it is her?

I need y'all to help me today. Zach Wahls is running for the U.S. Senate to replace Joni Ernst. He has a good size following on other social media platforms but hasn't gotten much traction here yet.
We can change that today!

I mean Megyn Kelly seems like exactly the right spokesperson for the ACTUALLY IT’S EPHEBOPHILIA movement.

Obviously, the Orange Conman redirected Treasury funds to pay ICE, enrich himself, and enrich his friends. His grift never ends. Audit him, sue him, defund ICE, release the Epstein files, and force him to find SNAP .

Yes! READ ALL ABOUT IT in "Soft Secession" in last issue of Mother Jones. A REAL OPPOSITION PLAN. Fabulous,uplifting read. Wish you all would look at it. BLUE STATES HAVE THE POWER. We have a whole year to midterms, & we know much they've already done &what they want to do. GO FOR IT BLUE STATES.
I love this idea. The two states that could try this out (their governors pictured here) are IL and CA. If they’re successful then many more blue states could follow suit.
Soft secession
Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.
