There are a lot of myths going around about what @POTUS canceling student debt would mean.

So let's tackle the top three biggest myths out there: Myth #1: @POTUS doesn't have the authority.

As Toby Merrill, co-founder of @eddebtjustice and current lawyer at the DOE, says, "The power to create debt is generally understood to include the power to cancel it." fortune.com/education/stat…

THREAD: With the big news that @Sen_JoeManchin
will vote YES to proceed with debate on protecting democracy, here are some thoughts on the landscape, the forks in the road, the leverage, the key questions for activists (and pundits) to consider. A thread. thehill.com/homenews/senat… The big question advocates have asked for weeks is: Will there be 50 votes to move forward the substance? Without that, the filibuster doesn't matter. 50 Democrats are saying together: We are committed to protecting democracy. "Inaction is not an option."

THREAD: @RonJohnsonWI is one of the WORST senators. An apologist for Jan 6 insurrectionists — and for Putin interfering in our elections.

Here’s some good news: A bold progressive just stepped up to run against Johnson in 2022 — @ChrisJLarson!

#WISen

pccc.me/2SkSCEK .@MehdiHasanShow told @chrislhayes, "When I saw Putin speak about 1/6, I thought, 'Wow, the President of Russia is doing his best impression of Sen Ron Johnson of Wisconsin!'"

In reaction, @ChrisJLarson called out Johnson as a "Trump/Putin puppet":

THREAD: Current Republican senators saying, as a matter of principle in their minds, there should be no Supreme Court vacancy filled during an election year.

As @LindseyGrahamSC says, this applies even for a Republican president... #HonorRBG #RBGRIP

THREAD: Sen. @MarcoRubio (R-FL) in 2016: “I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term — I would say that if it was a Republican president .” #HonorRBG

Hey, y'all! Take a quick listen to this story of Frances Perkins. It's about power, and it's about what we can do together.

"Let me take you back to that day of the fire. A woman was visiting friends who lived in a townhouse behind me when the fire broke out." #WarrenNYC "She hurried into the street, joining the crowds as they ran across this park and headed to the Triangle Factory. When she got there, she watched. Watched as women on the ledge begged for help. Watched as they held each other. Watched as they jumped to their deaths."

The New York Times apparently couldn't find a single person in Iowa or New Hampshire who thinks Elizabeth Warren's big, structural change is how we beat Trump in 2020, so we thought we'd help them out. Wayne - a lifelong Republican who voted for Reagan, Bushes, Grassley and considers himself moderate - switched to Warren after hearing her in Fort Dodge, IA: "I have to say, she brought me to tears with the history of her life. And her plans & policies just really impressed me."

.@ewarren at #CADem19: “For decades, the entire structure of our system has favored the rich and powerful. Pick any issue you care about and it’s painfully obvious.”

(📸: @DavidOAtkins) "Tax loopholes favor the richest people & biggest corporations. Environmental regulations benefit drillers and polluters. The racial wealth gap holds back families generation after generation. The list goes on: gun violence, healthcare, and housing costs are piling up around us.”
