Hey everyone. The Republican arsonists in the House are going to force a default on American debt unless Congress guts veterans care and food aid for kids to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Reminder: this is the fourth time Raphael Warnock has won an election against a Republican over the span of two years in Georgia. And I have a feeling he is only getting started...

This is incredibly insulting to the more than 1 million Georgians living with diabetes.

It’s time for #paidleaveforall

The only way to counter an increasingly effective Chinese industrial policy is with an even more effective American industrial policy. Ours will be very different than theirs, but pretending the private sector alone can compete with China is foolhardy.

Beijing gave CATL lavish subsidies, a captive market of buyers and soft regulatory treatment, helping it to control a crucial technology of the future.

@CommerceGov determination makes clear that the United States’ complete reliance on imports of rare earth magnets is a threat to our national security & recommends increased domestic production including passing my Rare Earth Magnet Manufacturing PTC Act. https://t.co/SnqHWfVAYv

Instead of tariffs, Commerce suggests investments in key segments of the U.S. magnet supply chain.

Millions of students across the country are on the verge of getting student loan relief. In Congress, I’m still pushing for long-term reforms, such as zero percent interest on student loans, which could save borrowers up to $600 per year.

Obviously the topline $10k-$20k forgiveness is going to get the headlines, but this income-based repayment plan rule will have a big impact for low and middle-income borrowers (especially straight out of college)

Student debt is a twin crisis. The crisis of what borrowers are paying today, keeping millions in financial quicksand. And the crisis of what colleges are charging students today, setting up an even larger universe of borrowers for the future.
While addressing the burden of student debt, what is being done to address the CURRENT cost of education? (Note - it’s not getting cheaper)

Ohio US Senate candidate JD Vance says women are obligated to stay in “violent” marriages. Each month, 70 women are fatally shot by intimate partners in the US, and 1 million women alive today have been shot or shot at by intimate partners. #ohsen

NEW: Today the US House is debating a bill to repeal #PLCAA, a misguided law passed in 2005 giving the gun industry a legal liability shield that no other industry has. As a result, they make record profits while gun violence reaches record levels. Here’s why that matters…

So now that 10 year olds are being forced to bear the children of their rapists, conservatives have suddenly decided that terminating pregnancies of 10 year olds is no longer an “abortion”, so everything is ok again. Can’t make this up.
Swalwell: It would not be an abortion if a 10 year old with her parents made the decision not to have a baby that was the result of rape? Republican Witness: That’s not an abortion Swalwell: Are you familiar with disinformation?
