Today is “Mini” Super Tuesday with primaries in Idaho, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Dakota, and Washington.

Michigan has the most delegates today. Bernie Sanders holds the polling edge with Latinx voters while Joe Biden holds the edge among African American voters. Will President Obama’s auto industry stimulus program give Biden a boost?

How insane is this? We tell young people to get the best education they can, and then saddle them for decades with crushing loan debt.

It is not a “radical idea” to tax Wall Street, make public colleges and universities tuition-free, and cancel $1.7 trillion in student debt.
