Lawmakers earlier this year set aside $25 million for a program that provides student loan relief to eligible healthcare providers in the state in an effort to address doctor shortages. Only 7% of applicants have been awarded. sfnm.co/4rQz3jR

Lawmakers promised student loan relief for New Mexico doctors. A tiny fraction got it.
The program is highly competitive and financially constrained, despite a big investment by state lawmakers earlier this year.

At the leadership level anyway the two parties are "represents billionaires with openly racist beliefs" and "represents billionaires who have mostly submerged their racist and genocidal beliefs." Which is why you can't get any party leadership to sign up for transformative change the people want.

The way this segment is put together highlights the fact that the Republicans were not asking questions appropriate to the hearing. They were simply spewing their insane rhetoric. Listening to themselves speak. Grandstanding. That's what they now believe Congressional hearings are for.

my favorite part of reporting this out was the trump White House told us our reporting on the president privately calling them the “midterm ads” is “false” (it’s not), but they didn’t even bother denying — and yes we put it to them plainly and in bullet point form in the comment request — that…

Why has the GOP been so procedurally extreme for so long? Because Republicans radicalized themselves against the government they were working within. There was a real logic to it, quite apart from the awful substantive vision. Now, Dems are working in a government fully corrupted by Donald Trump...

After Tracy DeSenti’s husband passed away, Connecticut sent her a $232,733 bill for his former prison stay—and suggested she sell her home to pay it. Her story isn't unique. States nationwide charge pay-to-stay fees, with CT charging up to $347/day.

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.
