Every Morehouse Class of 2019 student is getting their student debt load paid off by their commencement speaker. This could be the start of what’s known in Econ as a ‘natural experiment.’ Follow these students & compare their life choices w their peers over the next 10-15 years.

My first-grade teacher, Mrs. Wilson, attended my law school graduation. I know just as well as anyone that our successes are shaped by the teachers we’ve had. We must give teachers a raise and invest in them as they’ve invested in us.

Trump: ”There was no obstruction, none whatsoever, and it was a complete and total exoneration.” Barr’s summary: “The Special Counsel states that ‘while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.’” n.pr/2JAa56T

In America, public school teachers are paid about $13,000 a year less than other college graduates. That could be mortgage payments or the cost of groceries for a family for a year. It’s a national failure. It’s time we give America’s teachers a raise.

History made! Governor @GavinNewsom signs #SB126 into law. Charter schools will finally be held to the same standards of transparency and accountability as public schools. Victory for students, parents, and educators! ✍️☑️ #KidsNotProfits

I will oppose the nomination of Chad Readler to be a Judge on the 6th Circuit. While at DOJ, Mr. Readler was involved in the decision not to defend the Affordable Care Act, including its provisions protecting individuals with pre-existing conditions. 1/2 collins.senate.gov/newsroom/senat…

This isn’t about support or opposition for the wall. The question before us is this: Do we want the Executive Branch—now or in the future—to hold a power that the Founders deliberately entrusted to Congress? 2/3

We have a whole generation of Americans living with the sinking fear that they won’t do as well as their parents because their wages are stagnant and they are drowning in debt. We need to speak that truth.

My big chance was a commuter college that cost $50 a semester. Today, America has saddled our young people with $1.5 trillion of student loan debt. We’re crushing an entire generation – and we need to stop before it’s too late.

Contrary to the stereotype, the #NeverHillary voters were largely *not* leftist voters who thought Clinton was too conservative. They were mostly moderate and conservative Democrats, or independents and Republicans who chose to vote in the Democratic primary.

Immigration status should not be an excuse to treat people in an inhumane way. We should make it easier, not harder, for people who have the desire to pursue an education to get one. I am proud to introduce this bill with Rep. Gallego. #HigherEdDreamAct johnlewis.house.gov/media-center/p…

I'm running for president because we need to have the best educated workforce in the world. That is why we need to make public colleges and universities tuition free and lower student debt.

This primary will most likely be won by ideas, not pragmatism. Trump won the same way, ideas of building a wall, draining the swamp. Lofty goals that aren't pragmatic but capture the attention of the voters. That's why we're hearing so much of the GreenND and Medicare for all.

Our current system of federal student loans makes no sense: Stopping graduates from buying homes or starting businesses is a drag on the whole economy. We need to let existing debt be refinanced to a lower rate like any other, then make debt-free college a reality for everyone.

Student debt is at a crisis level in this country, and it holds our whole economy down. One of the first things I'd do as president is allow all students to refinance their loans at 4%. The federal government shouldn't be making money off the backs of our students, period.

How about we make an academic center for all students instead? There are already far too many students for the available seats in libraries/study rooms....
