Per this story, @BernieSanders has been talking to Biden about the next stimulus package including "an emergency universal health care program, so that anyone can get medical treatment during the pandemic, whether they currently have insurance or not." nytimes.com/2021/01/12/us/…
"Mr. Biden said last week that he nearly tapped Mr. Sanders to be his labor secretary, though he decided against it because it would have risked losing Mr. Sanders’s seat — and Senate control — in a special election." nytimes.com/2021/01/12/us/…
beyond the moral obligation, this is also a good way to retain control of congress

New this morning: @ewarren calls for cancellation of $50,000 of student loan debt for households with incomes under $100,000, $100B investment in Pell Grants, $50 billion fund for HBCU's and a ban on for-profit colleges receiving federal dollars thedailybeast.com/elizabeth-warr…
Overall, the policy is estimated to provide total debt cancellation to more than 75 percent of Americans with student loan debt and some form of relief to more than 95 percent. thedailybeast.com/elizabeth-warr…
Warren also suggests instituting an annual audit for public colleges to address shortfalls for lower-income students and students of color and prohibiting them from considering citizenship status or criminal history in their decisions on admissions. thedailybeast.com/elizabeth-warr…
There is a campaign type ad playing before Schultz’ book event tonight. “We are living at a time where some for whatever reason want to do everything they can to divide us.” It’s a largely biographical ad
Schultz still says he’s considering. A msn screams “don’t help elect Trump, go back to Davos!!!”
He gets taken out by security. Also says “go back to getting ratioed on Twitter!”
