Good news:
AOC is open to permitting reform.
She correctly recognizes that the process for siting and building clean energy infrastructure also needs reform. https://t.co/03YmaocUN1

It takes on the ground work to end the homelessness crisis. Good to spend some time with the team at District 3 doing that vital service. https://t.co/flXsmnRO8G

The reason this is incorrect is that if the student loan payers had been required to pay, their payments would have gone to the U.S. Treasury. Without those payments, the Treasury can choose to either run deficits or levy taxes to meet its spending commitments.

Taxpayer money isn't paying off student loans.

It's a myth. Say it with me.

Salting barista at my local Starbucks complimented me on my Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Plant hat.
Never forget that anti-nuclear politics is union-busting!

This is terrible. Ukraine has lower metro construction costs than Britain, it should be advising Britain and not the other way around.

Today I met my friend @OlKubrakov, the Ukrainian Minister of Infrastructure, to sign a historic Joint Action Plan to help rebuild Ukraine's transport network using UK expertise.

"Rooming houses offer the cheapest possible route to secure, private housing for those most in need, a crucial step for those seeking to get back on their feet."
Daniel Pearson @DPearsonPHL
The benefits of legalizing boarding houses are plentiful. It would help ensure residents of grey-market rooming houses are living in properties that are safe and up to code, provide affordable housing to those at the lowest wages, & give renters options.

Meta-Analysis: Trigger warnings don't help people to emotionally prepare for distressing material or to avoid it – the two things they're intended to do. Their main effect seems to be to increase people's anxiety about encountering the material. [Preprint] osf.io/qav9m/
