By freeing millions of Americans from the crushing burden of student debt: More homes would have been bought. More businesses would have been started. More couples would have had the confidence to start families. The Republican elected officials who sued us blocked all of it.

Some of the same elected Republicans who voted to overturn my student loan relief plan benefitted from thousands in pandemic relief loans to keep their own businesses open. Those loans were forgiven. Now, they refuse to extend the same relief to borrowers with student debt.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the big ice storm. Millions of people without power and the power outages lasted for weeks for some. Incredible destruction. Ice build up in inches. #icestorm #weatherwisdom #Maine

I need encouragement and a hug. #nursingschool is probably the hardest thing I have ever done.
Something I never expected to say in #nursingschool, “Alright! I barely failed!”
I haven’t said it publicly until now but my ducks are in a row now. I’m going to nursing school in a few weeks. The price of books is OUTRAGEOUS. Evidentially there’s a large lobby for text books. Gross.

Just like there were heat maps during the pandemic, I wish they’d make them for the staffing crisis.

"What could be more valuable" than child and home care workers, asks labor activist @aijenpoo. And it turns out, even @melindagates agrees. The philanthropist's company is now going to help support a $10 million grant to help the group care for these populations.

If a childcare facility failed 80% of its compliance criteria, would it still be allowed to operate? Are we accepting horrendous standards of care for older people because we think they're going to die anyway so why bother? @thischairrocks @anmf_federal @lynlinking @AgedMatters
🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨Richard Colbeck's aged care regulator green-lit Newmarch House despite it failing almost every criteria in a crucial safety audit - after the deadly 2020 Covid outbreak. Systemic, heart-breaking abuse uncovered. Gov't waived it through anyway. theklaxon.com.au/home/newmar…

Stat of the Day: 327. That's how many people are in #Maine hospitals w/#COVID19. Two weeks ago, that number stood at 427. Also notable is the drop in ICU patients, from 100-->79 today. These numbers are better than they have been, but still challenging.
