Watch @ewarren explain how this is a K-shaped recovery and why more stimulus is needed.

Elizabeth Warren

A recovery looks like a K when an economy bounces back from a recession in an unequal way. One group — the billionaires and giant corporations — not only recovers, but some even do a lot better. Everyone else falls sharply and struggles to make it out of crisis.

Axios: “There's a big focus on housing in the 2025 budget President Biden just sent Congress.”

Why Biden's so obsessed with housing policy

America's housing shortage plus record high mortgage rates, rising home prices and rents are a big worry for voters .

I am leading a letter with 16 other AGs to urge President Biden to take executive action and cancel up to $50,000 in federal student debt. For years, we have fought for struggling student borrowers —how much longer do they need to wait to get the relief they deserve?

While this site is on the topic of student loan forgiveness, here’s a PA GOP-funded mail piece from the election touting that Trump suspended student loan payments. Trump also worried about the appeal of Dems’ student loan forgiveness plans last year.
