45 million people in the US — about 1 in 6 adults — owe $1.7 trillion in student-loan debt.

Following a 5-year study, @ryannliebenthal.bsky.social traces the origins of the student-loan system, and breaks down the ways we can fix it

An email template for Kentuckians to contact their legislators to discuss changing the weighted funding system for Kentucky higher education

If you've seen my video on higher education funding in #KY, you know how much it doesn't work for Kentuckians

Go to my bio and use the email template we created to contact your legislator to advocate for change to better benefit #KYstudents.

Together, we can make a real change

Congratulations!

The video regarding Kentucky higher education funding is done and posted on my tik tok. Working on a longer version for YouTube, stay tuned for that.

Check out the linktree in my bio for an email template to contact your legislator to help end weighted performance funding in Kentucky!

We recently had our first interview in the channel! We spoke to Michael Frazier & Tate Ohmer. They've both help work to get some amazing bills passed, & we spoke for about an hour and a half about the weighted performance funding in Kentucky. Have a few more interviews, keep an eye out for the vid!

Luigi charged with "2nd degree murder as an act of terrorism"

do y'all feel terrorized yet?

The real terrifying thing is the police deciding which people are rich enough to be worthy of the resources to solve the case. But I digress

I can not stand someone who tells you to "just leave" when you criticize the US. You can love it, you can be proud of it, but god forbid you want it to be better.

Curious what the masses think. How do Democrats start to effectively reach rural voters?

I believe now is the perfect time to talk to McDonald's CEO about all day breakfast.

Congratulations! The people appreciate all y'all are doing in these trying times

Love to see it. Y'all are providing journalistic integrity when it's needed most

Joe Rogan Finds Out He Lost to MeidasTouch the Hard Way Written by Ben Meiselas

BREAKING: MeidasTouch has SURPASSED Joe Rogan and every other platform in the U.S. in the month of October in digital video ratings, tying Disney Junior for #1 spot—per Ad Week and analysis by Tubular Labs.

I’m not going to stop fighting until Roe v. Wade is the law of the land again.

So when are we going to start talking about all these companies who stayed quiet during the election and are now begging Donald Trump not to impose tariffs?

Amazing starter pack. Thanks for sharing, was able to nearly double my following list!

Here's a document from a recent video on my Tik Tok page where I go over how'd I run a democratic campaign, from the perspective of a young Democrat in southeastern Ky. Go give it a watch if you wanna hear me explain my thought process!

Just recently hit 4k followers on Tik Tok! If you're interested in political content, go check it out! I'm a young democrat from southeastern Ky, trying to improve the rural areas around me!

Gaetz backing out after the leaks in the investigation isn't surprising. Just waiting on the GOP to paint it as him sacrificing his career to save trump from the dems.

Mind blowing that everyone on both sides doesn't want this man gone. Since when is sleeping with an underage girl not a big deal?

A screenshot of a news article from "The Hill". It covers the new policy barring trans women from Capitol bathrooms.

1 trans woman in the house, 32,000 homeless veterans in America. Thank you speaker Johnson, for wasting everyone's time. Up there on Capitol Hill acting like highschoolers, doing anything to make the other side mad. Wasting our time and money for what equals to high school clout. It's ridiculous.

Agree. Was a delight to read through

Can't answer that, but I imagine the foreplay gets really into tax cuts for the ultra wealthy

How sure are we that Trump's mental health is at a level where he can handle the presidency? I'm being serious at this point. Does he have no one around him trying to help him? It feels like his age is genuinely playing a factor at this point. I have no other explanation for these picks

Definition of “kakistocracy” as a government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.

Word of the day. Or week. Or next four years.

An image of a tik tok page labeled "the policy pulse" with a Republican elephant and a Democrat mule as the profile picture

About to reach 4k over on tik tok! Glad so many people find a use in my breakdowns, and informational videos.

I wonder if I ask trump nicely, he'd give me a cabinet position? I have no experience and would probably be horrible at the job, so I seem to meet qualifications

Thanks for putting me on to what looks like an amazing follow!

Beautiful start to my day. Such amazing karma to know The Onion had the help of the Sandy Hook families he kept defaming. Can't wait to see him get made fun of on the show he used to own 😂

I'm just not so sure the presidency and the position of attorney general were meant to be safe havens for people trying to avoid prison time
