Bottomline: Student loan debt cancellation will leave more money in the pockets of low- and middle-income former students who were negatively impacted by the pandemic. Seth Magaziner 6/8

We can’t forget that economic challenges the Trump administration left to Biden. Those challenges have led to the inflationary pressure we now face exacerbated by the pricing policies of large corporations that are exploiting the current economic problems. 7/8

If Rs take control of the House or Senate, the corporate interests and foreign adversaries will be the winners. Seth Magaziner needs to hold RI-2 for Democrats. 8/8

A least of bit of data. About 58% of those completing a certificate program in transportation, which includes truck driver training, in 2016 borrowed. Average amount borrowed is just over $16,000. Have to remember that postsecondary education is broadly defined. From NPSAS.

Mechanics & repair sciences borrow at slightly higher rates than truck drivers -- 63% -- but borrow slightly less -- $13,500. According to NPSAS. Construction trades less borrowing -- 49% -- about the same average amount.

Important new report from ED Reform Now. Equity comes with effort to understand what stands in the way. Early decision certainly does. Report Blasts Early Decision insidehighered.com/quicktakes/202…

Uniquely able to help with this story. Got a Pell in the 2nd year of program. There is a clear difference between this cancellation & PSLF. The administration wants people to get this; Congress wrote PSLF to make it nearly impossible for people to qualify. marketwatch.com/story/its-10-0…

Allan Fung opposed the Affordable Care Act and said it should be overturned. That’s healthcare for 70,000 RIers. In Congress, I will always side with Rhode Islanders, not with the drug and insurance companies.

We know their policies won't work. They've been tried before. Worse than that threatening to not address the debt ceiling until cuts are made to Social Security, etc. will tank the economy. Friends, I know we know this but others need to wake up & fast.

Can I come back to that report that a billion dollars in dark money has been spent on Republican Senate candidates? Stunning. npr.org/2022/10/22/112…

Under my predecessor, the federal deficit went up every single year. Yet Congressional Republicans love to call Democratic leaders “big spenders.” Give me a break.

Worked for both Ds and Rs. Very true. Ds much more concerned about balanced budgets than Rs. And are willing to do something about it.

Very important piece by a great millennial mom reporter. Why are world leaders looking at me to fix the birth-rate problem? marketwatch.com/story/im-a-mil…
