This week, Briahna speaks to Representative Ro Khanna about Biden's commitment to some student loan debt cancellation, and what the progressives plan to do to get full cancellation. Will they use this moment to push Bernie's legislation to make public colleges tuition free? Why do corporate Dems like Tim Ryan get to undermine Biden's policy agenda on student debt without being attacked as "Trump lovers," while the left maligned again and again? How did Biden decide on the 10k number? What does Khanna think about the messy redistricting that pit progressives against progressives and establishment dems against establishment dems? Should Yuh-Line Niou run third party on the WFP line? What does Ro make of Yang's third party pitch, and is Yang stepping on Ro's own midwest messaging as a tech-focused first generation politico with strong silicon valley? Are democrats going to start pressing for medical debt cancellation?

The end is the hardest to get through but at least he's clear about his idealism and determinism. You could perceive Bernie as almost winning, but we have less time and money to fund this stuff every year and our opposites get more powerful as they conglomerate. To believe that the next 20 years will be smooth fro progressive policy tells me everything I need to know about Kanna's lack of para political understanding

On Bill Maher’s point about non-degreed workers like plumbers paying for other’s college loans, he’s pushing a false narrative. #DeadWrong A ton of student loan debt is attributable to students who attended trade schools to study plumbing, truck driving, beauty and barber and all the other trades. Trade schools participate in federal student loan and pell programs too and those certifications are hella expensive as these for-profit “schools” up charge students to rake in large profits for shareholders. Trade school students are also benefitting from Biden’s up to $20k in student loan debt relief, thankfully. Please make this point going forward Bri. We need to dispel this false narrative that non-degree holding laborers are student loan debt-free but are paying for others to attend college.

God I can’t stand this guy. Not even going to listen, though I’m sure BJG is going to interview him as sharply as she always does. I just don’t have time to listen to BS anymore.

Ro Khanna will always get credit from me for being the ONLY congress person willing to say they are a progressive and come on left media. Its very telling that no one else wants to do it. We disagree on tacticts but at least he's coming to the table. What I don't understand is why he's never in the room when the Biden makes these calls.

Good grief can this be the last time he’s on this year at least? This guy is the ultimate tip-toer, no backbone. Please Brie, let’s move on from this fella. Nice guy sure, but you’d have to torture a real answer out of him.

/Ro: Bri, everything is ok. /Bri: We have a lot of work to do, and we don’t see anybody willing to do it. /Ro: Damn it Bri! Why won’t you suck on this pacifier!

Yup

You go Brie! - I LOVED Morgan Harper, I supported her, and I think she has a brilliant future in politics. It the House power elites (Pelosi et al) had kept their thumbs off the scale in the first round of primaries, we might be looking at a very different landscape vis a vis November.

I do give Rho Khanna credit for agreeing to participate in these interviews where, clearly, Brie can ask him whatever she wants. However, he doesn't appear to understand that most in this space are virulently anti-imperialist. As long as Khanna continues to vote for huge weapons packages to be sent hither and yon--of course, most recently, to Ukraine--he will never be mistaken for a leftist.

ughhh as if

I can’t believe I used to think this guy would make a great president. Him and the of the squad are complete sell outs. Dude drives me nuts
