After House Democrats approved a far-reaching COVID-19 relief package early Saturday with all but two members of the caucus on board, progressive anger and despair escalated over the Biden administration s refusal thus far to make sure the $15 minimum wage increase remains in the bill as it heads to the U.S. Senate.
As journalist David Sirota, founder of the Daily Poster and former staffer for the 2020 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, put it on Saturday: If you were writing a Dickensian novel, it would be about millions of desperately poor people being promised a $15 starvation wage, and then watching their millionaire senators tell them that a parliamentary adviser in the palace said no. ....

The Georgia politician sat down with Ben Jealous, visiting scholar and former NAACP leader, to discuss topics from gerrymandering to romance novels in a virtual discussion.
Stacey Abrams and Ben Jealous during their virtual talk at Penn.
After Stacey Abrams lost the 2018 Georgia governor’s race, she said she was “the saddest I’ve ever been and the most worthless I’ve ever felt.” She gave herself 10 days to grieve, watch TV, feel depressed and mad, and then she transformed those emotions into action.
“Ambition doesn’t allow itself to be rewarded by not getting what you want.

Biden ‘can and must go big,’ say progressives urging president to #CancelStudentDebt
“Far more than $10,000 in cancellation is required to provide aid that 44 million families and the economy need.”
After he dismissed the idea of cancelling $50,000 of student loan debt per borrower through executive action, President Joe Biden on Wednesday faced a barrage of criticisms from progressive activists and lawmakers who called for putting more pressure on the president to use every power at his disposal to provide relief to the more than 40 million Americans saddled with a combined $1.7 trillion in student debt.
Does Biden “have the authority to cancel student debt with the stroke of a pen?” asked Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) on Tuesday night after the president told a national television audience that he “will not” forgive $50,000 per borrower even though 60% of registered voters support the move. ....
