This is the wrong approach. Student debt isn’t the problem, predatory lenders and educational institutions are. This just rewards those grifters, and makes education even more inaccessible. What we need is accreditation for free online programs that already exist. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/04/12/biden-to-forgive-7point4-billion-in-student-debt-for-277000-borrowers.html

House Republicans revolt against spy agency bill, signaling trouble for Johnson

Nineteen far-right members opposed a procedural hurdle known as a rule Wednesday, preventing FISA and three other proposals from being debated and ultimately voted on this week.

House GOP kills FISA/ 702… let’s be clear, this is not going to last, but the cancel and reauthorization that is inevitable will wipe the slate of data brokers that sell commercial data to the IC. #Trump administration, should he win, will undoubtedly steer the new commercial data broker relationships to companies they control. If he doesn’t win, this authorization is likely to be dragged into some Trump loyalist controlled entities. If the choices are politicians care about privacy or money…

Yesterday, House intelligence chair Mike Turner and foreign affairs committee chair Michael McCaul, both Republicans, admitted that some Republicans are tools for Putin in the House and the party as a whole.

As if on cue and to prove their point, House member Marjorie Taylor Greene stated that Putin is defending Christianity because Ukraine is attacking Christianity – a big pack of lies, but that's Ms. Greene's métier, isn't it?

'Disinformation': Greene pushes pro-Putin propaganda in 'war on Christianity' rant

After two top Republican House committee chairmen said Russian propaganda has made its way into Congress and “infected” some in the GOP base, U.S. Rep.

There is no excuse for using: source <(#curl -sL some.host.invalid)

This is obviously #malicious (I don't believe in Hanlon's razor in this case). The -L there allows curl to follow the HTTP->HTTPS redirect to make it work at all.

Someone (Charlie Pierce?) once observed that libertarians can make sense for 59 seconds ("War isn't good, pot should be legal, etc."), and then at the 60 second mark they go completely off the rails ("And that's why we should have privately run poorhouses.")

It's been a good guideline to keep in mind when people discuss libertarian-promoted ideas - don't engage with the first salvos, because eventually the train is going to crazy town.

#apple acts as the Long arm of the #CCP censoring content critical of #china. #antitrust laws need to be enforced sooner than later, and they shouldn’t stop with Apple.
