The working class deserves more representation in newsrooms — I'm so glad @TexasTribune feels the same way. I will be a reporting fellow at the Tribune this summer. :)

@eddiesocket @PortlandEsther @ryanlcooper Biden is phrasing out at 70k, isn't 70k is middle class? Idk where you're getting 90k from? Plus their using 2019 tax returns for relief that needed in 2021; why don't you ask if the military really needs 721.5 billion? If you are concerned about the deficit.
