In MAJOR news (aka something that will immediately help millions of people), the Biden admin has announced that the SAVE Plan is ready to be implemented before repayment starts. This will significantly lower monthly payment amounts here is what the SAVE plan does: 1/ The SAVE Plan is the new income driven repayment plan:
1. It raises the "discretionary income" cap from 150% to 225% of the federal poverty level. That means you pay 0% of your income. If you make under $33,000 and are single, you pay nothing. It increases with household size.

NEW: Master thread of threads

I've made several accomplishment threads over Joe Biden's first two years and I've put them together for easy access in one place for reelection "What Has Biden Done" questions.

Thread 1: 100+ Accomplishments thread

1/ Image Have you seen this graphic around Twitter? The great @briantylercohen created it based off a list I put together of President Biden's first year accomplishments. While it is outdated, it is still the most detailed list out there.

Thread 2:

I am confused as well. The official role of the VP is to break ties in the Senate, something she's done the 2nd most in history of, including to pass the major legislation of the ARP and the IRA.

Unofficially, it's to serve the President's agenda, which she's done in spades 1/ She's travelled the world to represent the admin, including going to Munich in the days before Russia's invasion of Ukraine to meet with NATO and Zelenski, to Asia to counter China, and most recently to Africa on a wildly successful trip to strengthen relations 2/

Wow! A judge who committed felony crimes by running her own personal debtors prison for financial gain? There must be a lot of news stories on that, and not just this guys thread when you Google it!

I mean, come on guys. So anyways, the misrepresentation about Keva Landrum: 1/ The Orleans Criminal Court as a whole, not Keva Landrum, was sued over aggressive enforcement of court cost and criminal fines. Orleans Courts, long before Keva Landrum, were required to fund a significant part of their budgets from court costs. 2/

If you want to know another thing the media has been REALLY bad at, it's letting you know that wage growth during the recovery is an artificially low number, because recovering jobs lost in the pandemic brings down the average.

Going to try to explain in this thread: 1/ Want to know the greatest month in human history for average wage growth? It was April 2020, when the economy lost 20 million jobs. Those of you who kept your job during the pandemic, do you remember getting a massive raise? You didn't. The pandemic broke the metric. 2/

WHAT 51 SENATORS ALLOWS US TO DO:

1. Full control of committees: This means we no longer have to split membership with Republicans, who could force time consuming discharge petition votes if they deadlock on nominees. They could even block nominees by boycotting a committee.

1/ 2. Subpoena power: Previously, Republicans could block committees from issuing subpoenas because of the split membership. Now Democrats can investigate who they want, with full subpoena power.
3. Absences: 2 Dems can be out and we can still pass a party line vote.

When he tweeted this, the needle had Warnock as a 58% chance and the projected margin as Warnock 0.8%. 15 minutes later it jumped to 71% chance for Warnock with a D +1.8 projected margin. Just updated to 77% Warnock with a D +2.4 projected margin.

Here's why 51 is much better than 50, even if we don't keep the House. And no, it's not (mostly), about Manchin and Sinema.

Right now, with a tied Senate, we govern with a power share agreement, where Republicans get an equal split with Democrats on committee membership 1/ This gives them a lot of power to mess things up, because they can do 2 things:

1. With a tied vote in committee, they can force a discharge petition, which is an extra vote that takes up floor time.
2. Go nuclear, and boycott committees, preventing votes from happening.

Forcing a "peace" settlement of the war that allows Russia to hold on to Ukrainian territory is the pro-war position, not the anti-war one. Because it will prove Putin right. It will show him that the West is weak willed. That Democracies talk big but wilt under pressure. 1/ And that Russians can suffer and outlast us. And he'll regroup. And he'll rebuild his army. And then he'll come back for all of Ukraine. And Moldova. And Georgia. And every non-NATO old Soviet Republic. And he'll threaten nukes every time. But then he'll start thinking 2/

Two stories dropped on Republican Senate candidates today:

Dr. Oz conducted studies where over 300 dogs were killed, often brutally and for no scientific purpose.

I'll try to answer this as the more general "why doesn't the US give X", and it's not about why the US does or doesn't choose to give a separate thing, but all the considerations that have to be undertaken when deciding what military assistance to give to Ukraine and when 1/ The first thing everyone needs to understand is that the President doesn't have unlimited authority to transfer whatever he wants. He has a specific budgeted authority provided to him by Congress. Even old items not in use have a value. Plus the cost of transfer, training, etc 2/

Right now President Biden (117th Congress) and President Obama (111th Congress) are locked in a friendly competition for most productive 2 years since LBJ.

People forget quite how much Obama got done, especially with numerous consumer protection laws. It wasn't "just" the ACA 1/ He landed 3 major bills (Lilly Ledbetter, CHIP expansion, and Stimulus) within his first 30 days. He also passed landmark anti-hate crime legislation, student loan reform, and green energy programs. So I want to make sure that in celebrating Biden, we don't erase him. 2/

Free Dark Brandon explainer for the joyless media: It's meant to be fun, celebratory, and tongue in cheek. No, we don't actually think Joe Biden controls gas prices with his Tweets. But we feel emboldened to reject the image you created of him as a week and ineffective leader 1/ After this last month of incredible accomplishments. We've seriously had an administration's worth of accomplishments in a month. And it goes to show we were right about Joe Biden. And you all, with your journalism degrees and inside "sources", we're wrong. 2/

After BBB failed, almost everyone rushed to declare President Biden's entire presidency a legislative failure. Ignoring that we had already passed 2 landmark pieces of legislation by then, the pundits and Twitterati declared that nothing happened and nothing would happen

1/ The Biden Presidency was dead. Nothing else substantial would happen through Congress. Year 2 was going to be a waste.

You all heard the proclamations.

They were proved wrong almost immediately, as Breyer announced his retirement.

If you want to know why Dem Senators usually don't go scorched earth on Republican Senators look at the Senate right now: 4 Democrats are out, yet Dems are confirming 6 judges because at least 3 Republicans (including Graham) are voting for all 6. They could have blocked all. 1/ I know sometimes it feels like Democrats play nice and Republicans don't play by the same rules. And that may be somewhat true. But there is still some old school Senate behavior left. And Republicans have conceded things to Dems they don't have to. It's a balance. 2/
