Roberts isn't even right on the facts: that "bankrupt borrowers may have their loans forgiven" just writes the 2005 bankruptcy bill out of the picture.
But these amateur lawmakers unfortunately have the gavel.

to recap: google is mad at people using youtube ad blockers because they don't want to give away their content for free, and mad at the canadian government for charging them to use news stories because they want to get their content for free.

NPR: Five local cases of malaria in the U.S. have been reported --mosquitoes carrying the malaria parasite bit and infected the individuals. How worried should we be?

@DEDGirl GOP knows this and complains for show, but they want poverty and no real education for everyone but white straight “Christian” men.

Y'know, I was prepping a long response to this... but nah. Your comment says everything it needs to about how likely you are to read it.

Voting isn't about what you think you can change in one session. It's about establishing a precedent of change you want to see in the future, about continuously pushing the status quo the direction you want it to go.

With the amount of pressure that gets put on kids to believe and then ACT on the belief that college is how you achieve a "better future," in american society? And then you want to mock and punish those same kids when that pressure WORKS?

The fuck is that?

Trust and believe, forgive all student loan debt and make college free and watch how quick we find out what "bettering ourselves" can really mean in this society.

"I wish that the USA #SCOTUS was as principled as the Brazilian one" is definitely a phrase that I didn't expect to think/say today.

I will be reinstating my out of office message.

What's the matter? It's the same distance?

All I’m saying is that if Jack Smith made Monday another Trump Indictment Day then the U.S. could have a four-day weekend.

KARMA!
