Spurious challenges to cancellation are causing financial anxiety for borrowers. Denying relief would be a financial disaster. @YoungInvincible said "it would be devastating & carry generational implications…for communities of low-income backgrounds & communities of color.”

President Biden has clear authority under the HEROES Act to cancel student debt which will provide targeted relief to low-and middle-income borrowers and offer financial freedom from crushing student loan burdens. Here’s what @1kWomenStrong had to say about the benefits: https://t.co/lNcnCNrmZD

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments from Republican officials and special interests trying to block President Biden’s plan to cancel student loan debt for millions of Americans. Today I released a new report about what’s at stake. https://t.co/6NYe8iZgjU

After the East Palestine disaster, we need more scrutiny of the rail industry. Greater consolidation risks community safety, harming workers, and higher prices. The Surface Transportation Board should heed @TheJusticeDept's warnings and stop this merger. https://t.co/kc0A6gJd6D

Despite years of desperate attacks from Republicans & corporate lobbyists, the constitutionality of @CFPB & its funding structure have been upheld. If the Supreme Court follows precedent, it will strike down the Fifth Circuit’s decision before it throws our economy into chaos.

A study by @BostonFed found that corporations in the most concentrated sectors have been the most successful at expanding their profit margins on the backs of consumers. This is exactly why we need to enforce antitrust laws and increase market competition.

I was honored to deliver the Congressional response to @NCAI1944 President Fawn Sharp’s #SOIN23 address. I'm grateful for the work of NCAI & many others to hold the US government accountable for upholding its trust & treaty obligations to tribal nations. https://t.co/Z12IxDH6zM

.@Merck has raked in billions from Keytruda—a life-saving cancer drug—due to their abusive patent practices & isn’t planning to stop. @SenSanders, @RepKatiePorter, @RepJayapal & I are urging @USPTO to scrutinize them & stop their anti-competitive tactics. https://t.co/JgWuIeHjPJ

I joined @SenMarkey, @RepStephenLynch & Mayor Sullivan in Brockton to celebrate over $11M in federal funds we secured for housing, mental health, recreation & infrastructure programs across the City of Champions. I’ll keep fighting to ensure the fed gov is a strong partner to MA. https://t.co/IwUIM7PyTM
