It’s unfortunate, but voters on both sides didn’t have much empathy or give much thought to student loans. That’s why Biden stopped talking about it as publicly. SMH

The lady she’s replacing had a more progressive voting record than the 4 or 5 ppl in the liberal wing of congress so her addition wouldn’t do much. It’s an interesting choice to not stay in TX or go somewhere else and build to flip a seat. Folks are right to be skeptical
Experience matters! Congress is not an entry-level job.
When would you ever hire someone to one of the most powerful positions in even your own company who had only an early-career level of experience?
And she'd be replacing an already progressive, effective woman with decades of experience.

💯 Glad you’re bringing attention to this. (Some leftists may not like it but it’s the truth, most local politicians are already doing the work)
Look, I like Kat Abughazaleh's rhetoric, & I largely like how she's running her campaign & want other Dems to take notes.
But as someone who actually lives in the district she wants to represent, I have serious concerns.
Context: This is a liberal/progressive district with an extremely safe seat.

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of
The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

Of many defining moments politically, this is a major one that is often missed and of course includes ppl in the news today
In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

This sounds like a very generic politician answer…so who knows what they actually think
This is the vice chair of the Democrat caucus straight up saying that even if Dems win the midterms, they might not impeach Trump.
