Another republican “program” falls by the wayside as a result of Americans choosing better government.

Every sane and good woman in America should carry a gun, be thoroughly trained in its use, and be ready to use it at a moments notice.
Would prevent many rapes, murders, robberies, car jackings etc.

All Mrs. Bambu needs to handle you is a simple electric cattle prod.

Mind your business till you get a clue.

In 2019 about 406,970 women were raped/sexually assaulted in the US.
Staring down the barrel of a Glock the attackers would most likely have backed off.

Oh Joe!

Sky News:
"Biden not backing the progressives student-loan forgiveness plan."
Did lots of young voters vote for Biden because they thought student loans would be forgiven?

Read carefully, with better sources.  Biden is not sure he can legally void debt through executive order,  so his advisors and education secretary are looking at legislative options for Congress.   

Politics is "the art of the possible."

On Ted Cruz's inane claim that no Hispanics use the term "Latinx" and other aspects of the evolution of names for groups.

Dr. Fauci has indicated that he is not convinced that COVID-19 was naturally occurring.

Seems to me that's not what he used to say...

Reread the David Brooks interview I referenced last week.
Especially the part where Biden says

The idea that you go to Penn (the University of Pennsylvania) and you’re paying a total of 70,000 bucks a year and the public should pay for that? I don’t agree," Biden says, in the interview with David Brooks of The New York Times.
This mess was all predicted to happen when Obama insisted on federalizing student loans.

Now Biden is faced with figuring out how to get out of the bag he helped create.

Progressives?

---Activist groups and politicians in the United States and abroad have been weighing in on the conflict, with more progressive Democrats urging the Biden administration to be tougher on Israel and Netanyahu. The official Black Lives Matter Twitter account showed support for Palestinians in a May 17 tweet.

"Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians," the tweet says. "We are a movement committed to ending settler colonialism in all forms and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation."---

White Evangelical conservatives love Israel but hate Jews. The love of Israel is predicated by the end times theology embraced by the religious right.

Context:  Biden doesn't believe in complete erasure of student loans, but that does not mean he doesn't approve of removing some of that debt to help students.  Like, say, $10,000 would help a lot of students, especially the ones who can only afford in-state tuition at a land-grant school and so aren't payiing $70,000/year.  As Barton noted, politics is the art of the possible.

How about a stipend for all students who were diligent in paying off their loans?
