This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny

If you told me 20 years ago that I would be texting with one of the members of Guster about the unconstitutional federal occupation of my city by unaccountable goons, I probably would have been pretty impressed with myself.

Personally, I think the special treatment is playing 12 FBS games, losing 3 (two decisively) and still making the 12 team playoff.
For the better part of a half-century, Notre Dame has insisted on playing by its own rules. Now that the Irish aren’t getting the special treatment they believe is their due, they’re throwing a tantrum.
Notre Dame football whining like spoiled child over CFP snub
Notre Dame football keeps whining because it didn't get special treatment from the College Football Playoff that it thinks it deserves.

We might lose Notre Dame-USC soon for embarrassingly silly reasons. What better time to look back at train rides, Heisman winners, The Comeback, green jerseys, Joe Montana, 1 vs. 2 and, of course, the Bush Push?

On the deep red Eastern Shore, this is a big deal.
Failing to draw their Republican Congressman Andy Harris, hundreds of people flocked to a middle school gym on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to hear from a willing Democratic stand-in — U.S. Rep Jamie Raskin. Raskin brought some sharp criticism of his fellow delegation member.

This is the whole ballgame for me: You cannot run a functioning democracy in a media environment where voters do not know basic facts about what candidates do and believe.
Voters are living in a post-internet world and legacy institutions have not kept up.

I reported on economics for one (1) year. Everything I learned about it—from data on corporate pay penalties for mothers, co-pays for births, and lack of federal policies on issues like childcare or paid leave—loudly indicated there was little to no incentive for me to have children in the US.

You'd think at some point that billionaires and corporate America would wake up to the fact that Trump is an even bigger risk to quarterly earnings than, like, clean water regulation, but they're all so safely ensconced in their wealth cocoons that this sounds fresh and exciting.
This should be the story tomorrow, and every day:
The leader of one of America’s two major political parties has just signaled to the Kremlin that if elected, he would not only refuse to defend Europe in World War III, but he would gladly support Vladimir Putin.
