It is mind bogglingly stupid to saddle your future citizens with debt before they even get in the workforce.
In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc.
Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need.
We must make public colleges tuition free.

Why the hell are they even entertaining this bullshit? This does not bode well. Does this particular court think they can re-write the constitution…?

Worth watching. Though if it had been me interviewing I would have pressed him harder on why the hell his republican colleagues are being such spineless cowards….
So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

These fuckers are so craven. The rich complained about their bottom line and he adjusted. None of them care about the decimation of our democracy. Who cares about USAID, DofE, Social Security. Just make sure the rich don’t lose too much money….. It is disgusting.
The Dow Jones is now up 2000 points after Trump announced a 90-day pause on all tariffs outside of China, which he's now imposing a 125% retaliatory tariff.
This comes 2 days after a "fake news" story about Trump doing this very thing made the markets briefly spike.

We need to stick together, stand together….
If one of us stands up, they can pick that person off. If ten or a hundred or a thousand, they can pick those people off. And they're picking off people--immigrants, dissidents--to make an example of them. But if ten million people stand up, they cannot stop us all.

Our government allowed industry to offshore factories decades ago….
Not a single person saying this is going to work one of these jobs, nor have they likely ever worked these jobs in the past. But also, what made these jobs bearable was they were well-paying union jobs where you traded monotony, physical toil for a good middle-class life. They aren’t offering that.
White dudes are just bored, that’s why we need to destroy the economy.

Call your congresspeople.
Why would a leader tank his own country's economy?
It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook.
Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump.
But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time.
Let your reps hear from you.

If she’s saying what I think she’s saying, do we have confidence that the military is still non-partisan….?
As POTUS ignores Article 2 and acts like a KING, as innocent people are denied their 5th amendment rights and KIDNAPPED off the street, as the executive branch levies INSANE tariffs usurping Congress’s authority under Article 1, we must seriously consider what comes next…

Also, that government, and governing, are NOT business and should not be run as such….
Can we permanently put to rest the myth that a businessman knows more how to manage the economy? Or do we have to wait for our economy’s collapse for some among us to grasp it?

It would be a good idea for other senators to take over for him when he reaches his limit. Then I might begin to believe they have a purpose, a spine….
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

It doesn’t make sense, why wouldn’t a govt tax the wealthiest proportionally? They could get so many of their bills paid easily and efficiently. Why run after millions of middle and lower class folks when you could balance your budget with a handful of rich people. Wouldn’t even slow the rich down…

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

So we should be able to push them out of control…. Who’s with me?
Just a reminder that only about 35% of the US population are white males when they go on and on about "DEI hires" and "woke quotas."
They literally want to keep all the jobs to themselves.
