Biden & Harris: Appealing to white suburbanites
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 16 hours ago
Krystal Ball explains why candidates shouldn't be judged by the diversity box they check, but by their records, views, and commitments to voters. Some very good reporting here on Kamala Harris and the Biden team. Good to see more alternative media talking about these issues. We need to let the air out of the 'cheer leaders' balloons so that the public can see all the writing-on-the-walls before it gets washed away and forgotten. Bruce
Medicare for All, Forgiving College Loans and the Keysering of American Voters
Teodrose Fikremariam, The Ghion Journal - 16 hours ago
The US political system is a lot like the movie “Usual Suspects” where politicians play the part of Keyser Soze and the voters are flimflammed like Agent Kujan. Every election cycle, the two political parties sell pie-in-the-sky plans and fanciful ideas to their respective base in ways that would make Verbal Kint shake his head in disbelief. Yet, the minute the last votes are counted and politicians move into their posh offices in Congress and… The post Medicare for All, Forgiving College Loans and the Keysering of American Voters appeared first on The Ghion Journal.

The Air Force’s Next Fighter Must Be More Than a Souped-Up F-22
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * A sixth-generation aircraft will be expected to complement and operate alongside the F-35. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Also, perhaps the faster-than-expected development of a sixth-generation aircraft is in part intended to address the problems that there are insufficient numbers of F-22s in the fleet.

* What Joe Biden Has Said about Canceling Student Loan Debt* There has recently been more and more discussions about President-elect Joe Biden's plans to cancel student loan debt when he enters the White House in January next year. While Biden has not committed to canceling all student debt, his administration will be able to introduce changes that could affect millions of borrowers—although this will also likely depend on who controls the Senate. In March, Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer called for $10,000 relief for all student borrowers in light of the fi...

The Wall Street Journal points out that's *exactly* what the Democratic Party appears to want. Bold, underlined text is my emphasis.
