Under Trump, the Republicans gave the Koch family a $1.4 billion tax break. Now they want you to believe that they are on the side of the working class because they oppose canceling $20,000 in student debt for a worker making $60,000 a year? Give me a break.

I hear Republicans complaining about $20,000 in student debt forgiveness. Funny, I didn't hear those complaints when Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times & had $287 million in loans forgiven by big banks. The GOP l-o-v-e-s socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the rest.

Corporate greed is Chipotle increasing its profits by 181% last year to $764 million, giving its CEO a 137% pay raise to $38 million in 2020 and blaming the rising cost of a burrito on a minimum wage worker who got a 50 cent pay raise. That's not inflation. That's price gouging.

Kellogg's is a company that is worth tens of billions of dollars. They paid their CEO over $11 million last year. So why are they threatening to fire striking workers and send jobs to Mexico that pay $0.97 an hour? The answer is greed. Let's stand with the workers.

The irony of it all
Quote Tweet
We’re apparently playing the “Things you can’t make up” game this morning. So Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett (speaking at a center named after Mitch McConnell, introduced by Senator McConnell) worries that the Court is seen as "a bunch of partisan hacks."
Dear Justice Barrett: You voted to not strike down an extreme Texas anti-abortion law that on its face violates Roe v. Wade, the current law of the land. And you did it hiding behind the shadow docket. You want Americans to think you aren’t being partisan? Who are you kidding?

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett expressed concerns Sunday that the public may increasingly see the court as a partisan institution. strib.mn/3E8EtgR
