Putting #PeopleOverPolitics

President Biden delivered another $7.7 billion in student debt relief to 160,000 Americans, bringing the total number of Americans who have received relief during the Biden Administration to 5 million borrowers who have had $167 billion in student loans forgiven. President Biden’s student debt relief program is transformative for millions of Americans, helping make higher education the pathway to opportunity it should be.

From the Headlines

The Supreme Court issued a ruling upholding South Carolina’s congressional map, which was previously determined to be racially gerrymandered to dilute Black voting power. In his concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas even went so far as to criticize the historic Brown v.

Jim spoke with the Philadelphia Tribune about his roles in Democratic House leadership and on President Biden’s campaign, the dangerous prospect of another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and how we should engage voters in this year’s elections.

“[Donald Trump] tells you he is going to take retribution against people who disagree with him. He tells you he’s going to indict folks who he does not like. That’s not what this country has been about all of these years. This country has not always been good to me or my parents, but we have made significant gains… [Trump] wants to turn the clock back on that.”
