Agreed! And that's why I don't get why you'd choose this to be the big public push of "doing something about college affordability" - especially with Ivanka as the face of it. It's not good optics - or policy. If they really wanted to do something they'd a. lower borrower's interest rates to under 5% b. make income based repayment 5% of your adjusted gross income instead of the 10-15% it is now. OR at least extend the 10% to all people currently on IBR instead of just those who borrowed after 2014. Like I rage about this one a lot. 5% is a lot of fucking money. c. Make loan forgiveness after 15 years or a certain period of time working (not just in specific fields) I should be the face of this fucking campaign. My God. Girl, me too. I work in public service but loan forgiveness is unavailable to me because of the timing of my loan disbursements and the type of loans I have. MH and I pay 10% of our income in loan repayments. We'll be in our 60s when our loans are paid off. Preach.

I just talked with my doctor and I have managed to have strep and bronchitis both at the same time. We both agreed we blame climate change. I’ll join you in the Strep club. I got a positive rapid test this morning. My doctor says it’s spreading like wildfire in the area right now.

I'm sure y'all saw how Devin Nunes is suing Twitter/twitter accounts @devincow (and the Devins mom one that was suspended). After I saw the story the @devincow account went from 14k followers to 45k and counting. I think it had just over 1k when the lawsuit details dropped.
Most hilarious are all the parody accounts that have since been created.
A sampling: Devin Nunes' Scrotum (and many other body part accounts) Devin Nunes' Hurt Feelings Devin Nunes Tears " dad " neighbor blanche " Great aunt wendy

I can't sleep because cough so I'm watching the HGTV app and they KEEP PLAYING this ad for a video game in which all of DC is burning down and destroyed and I can not handle it. Leave my city alone, Tom Clancy.

I don't understand suing Twitter. Was it a verified account?

Looks like Devin is up to a stupid publicity stunt. Color me shocked. A lot of folks are sharing the Devin Nunes complaint that Fox News posted, but that document has no proof that it was even filed. There's not even a case number. t.co/KZk5Zk7ayv

Cohen warrants have been released (in redacted form):
Apparently it's a shitton of documents and will take a while to go through.

Mike Pompeo can kiss my atheist ass. I hope other news organizations make all kinds of noise about it.

NBC's Pete Williams just reported on @msnbc that Rod Rosenstein is staying at the Justice Department "a little longer than he intitally said."

Fuckin Bart. Oof. This is terrible news. SCOTUS rules 5–4 that ICE may arrest and detain an unauthorized immigrant *indefinitely* once he has been taken into criminal custody. Doesn't matter if he was released from custody months or even years ago. t.co/Ldw7cr9phY
