My state rep is on the record for being against student loan forgiveness. My state rep received a PPP loan for over $40,000 and it was completely forgiven. He forgot to mention that part…

I know several teachers who are at their 9th and 10th year who were really counting on this forgiveness. They’ve been making payments and doing a service to society, and they are going to get screwed.

Thank you for your important work Jess. I watched a show on Amazon about dark money and what happened in Ohio with the house speaker finally going to jail for 20 years in the end. I am blown away by the ability of the GOP to throw hot button issues at rural America as a ruse to rob them blind.
