We’ve been working towards this day for a long time, and it’s here: President @JoeBiden is taking historic action to cancel up to $20,000 of debt for millions and millions of Americans.
Make no mistake: This is one of the biggest acts of consumer debt relief in American history, and it will directly help hard-working people who borrowed money to go to school because they didn’t come from a family that could write a big check.
By canceling student debt, President Biden is helping working people who are struggling with rising costs. He’s freeing people up to buy homes or start new businesses or start families. And he’s helping narrow the racial wealth gap for borrowers. It’s a big step forward.
I’m going to continue working to reform our higher education system & put technical schools, community colleges, & public universities within reach for every family. And we’ve got to make sure that everyone who’s eligible gets this relief as quickly as possible.
I’m grateful for everyone who’s raised their voices to #CancelStudentDebt. Today is a win—and it paves the way for even more victories to come, if we keep fighting side by side.

Right-wing extremists tried to pull a fast one on us in Kansas last night. They thought they could sneak a ballot measure through a low-turnout primary to clear the way for extreme abortion bans. But they forgot something: we’re fighting back like never before.
The threat was real. Abortion bans in Kansas would leave a huge reproductive health care desert in the middle of the country.

But Kansans turned out in huge numbers and sent a strong message: no, no, NO, we are not going back.

Thank you for staying in this fight.
Kansas sent a message to every anti-choice politician in the country last night. For their sake, they’d better listen.

The stakes couldn’t be higher in this year’s midterms. Today, I’m glad to endorse two more Warren Democrats who will fight to make our government work for everyone.
As State Senate President, @BeccaBalintVT passed one of the strongest reproductive rights laws in the nation, raised the minimum wage, & passed Vermont's first gun safety laws. Becca has the experience, record, & grit to fight for families in Washington. I’m proud to endorse her. A photo of Becca Balint nex...

I want to talk about some very concrete next steps now that Roe v. Wade is gone—where we can go on offense as well as defense in our fight for the right to an abortion. Here’s a quick thread:
In Michigan, @mireprofreedom is fighting to get an initiative on the ballot to protect reproductive freedom—including abortion & contraception—in the state constitution. It could be a blueprint for many other states. Chip in to their campaign if you can: ewar.ren/6br Michigan: Expand protection...
Kansas protects the right to an abortion now—but a measure on the ballot 8/2 would eliminate it & leave a huge reproductive health desert in the middle of the country. Chip in to @Kansans4Freedom if you can to fight back: ewar.ren/r7d Vote NO if you’re in Kansas. Kansas: Hold the line on bl...

Today, I’m endorsing two more House Democrats who dream big and fight hard for working people every day:
I’m proud to endorse @IlhanMN for re-election in #MN05 because she’s a champion for the working class, a strong fighter for climate action, a fierce advocate for abortion rights, and one of the leading voices in Congress for canceling student debt. A photo of Ilhan Omar next to text that says Elizabeth Warre
.@JamaalBowmanNY isn’t afraid to challenge the system and fight for real, structural change—from delivering climate action and preventing gun violence to defending abortion rights. I’m glad to endorse him for re-election in #NY16. A photo of Jamaal Bowman next to text that says Elizabeth Wa

President @JoeBiden has the unique power to marshal the resources of the entire federal government to defend abortion rights. @PattyMurray and I led this group of senators to lay out six initial steps that federal agencies can consider:

1. Increase access to medication abortion and make sure people can get accurate information about their options there.
2. Provide resources for people who need to travel for abortions in other states—which could include vouchers for travel, child care services, and other forms of support.

After my daddy had a heart attack, he couldn’t work for a while. Bills piled up. One day, I walked into my parents’ bedroom. My mother’s face was red and puffy. A dress was laid out over the bedspread—the dress that only came out for weddings, graduations, and funerals:
"We are not going to lose this house,” she kept saying. She’d never worked outside the home. She was terrified. But she knew what she had to do. She put on that dress, walked down the street to Sears, and got a minimum wage job that saved our house and saved our family.
This #MothersDay, I’m thinking of my mother’s courage. I’m thinking of all the mamas fighting for their families. And I’m thinking of all the ways the deck is stacked against them: A black-and-white photo of Elizabeth Warren as a young girl,
