Statement from President Joe Biden on Early Student Debt Cancellation for Borrowers Enrolled in SAVE... From Day One of my Administration, I vowed to fix the student loan system and make sure higher education is a pathway to the middle class – not a barrier to opportunity. Already, my Administration h...

The Biden Administration has made SAVE retroactive for 10 years, meaning that anyone who took out less than $12k of student loans and has been repaying for 10 years IMMEDIATELY has rest of their students loans cancelled. Community college students will receive most of this relief.

Notable on this one: House GOP leadership is very supportive of such a constitutional amendment, but none of them have co-sponsored this and some suggest a different amendment bill will be filed. Picked up 17 co-sponsors yesterday from a crowd that challenges leadership sometimes. #kyga24

Bill Belichick Will Be an Easy Act to Follow Now that Bill Belichick and the Patriots have parted ways, his successor may have an easier time following up the legendary coach

Same for me. I never even watch that show. I keep blocking accounts but that doesn't help much if at all. I'm going to pop in occasionally on that site through the election (I don't want to concede the fight) but after that I think I'm done regardless of the outcome. It's an open sewer.

The 2024 Kentucky legislative session kicks off Tuesday. Here’s what to look for State lawmakers return to Frankfort Jan. 2 for the beginning of the Kentucky General Assembly’s 2024 session. Their primary task will be passing a two-year budget for state government.

Good morning. Today is the first day of the Kentucky General Assembly’s 2024 legislative session. Here are some of the big items to look for over the next few months: #kyga24

Kentucky woman sues over state’s two strictest abortion bans A pregnant Kentuckian filed a class-action lawsuit Friday against Kentucky’s trigger and six-week bans on abortion. She says the laws violate her constitutional rights.

5. Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent Defendants from enforcing the challenged laws which, collectively, eliminated access to virtually all abortion in the Commonwealth and are inflicting acute and irreparable harm on Kentuckians. 6. Plaintiffs challenge two separate Kentucky abortion bans (collectively, the “Bans”) under the Kentucky Constitution: KRS 311.772 (the “Total Ban”) (attached as Exhibit A) and KRS 311.7701–11 (the “Six-Week Ban”) (attached as Exhibit B). Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 142 S. Ct. 2228 (2022), the Total Ban prevented the provision of any abortions in Kentucky except in very narrow emergency circumstances. The Six-Week Ban made it a crime to provide an abortion after embryonic cardiac activity becomes detectable, which generally occurs around six weeks of pregnancy, as measured from the first day of the patient’s last menstrual period (“LMP”)

NEW: A pregnant Kentucky woman has filed a class-action lawsuit challenging the state's abortion bans for violating the state constitution. She is represented by the ACLU. www.aclu.org/wp-content/u...

It's an odd signing in a vacuum, unless the thought is to package a couple of these infielders/prospects to try and land a starting picture with some years of team control.

I gave up caffeine in October of 2022. I was having chest pains and shortness of breath. Did the caffeine cause that? I have no idea, but my doctor recommended giving it up, and I haven't felt any chest pains since I did.

So long, asshole.

Shitty people, shitty culture, shitty values.

Rep. Patrick McHenry, who briefly served as acting House speaker, will not seek reelection For several weeks, the North Carolina Republican served as acting House speaker while Republican lawmakers struggled to unite behind a permanent speaker.

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), who served as acting House speaker for three weeks in October while GOP lawmakers struggled to unite behind a permanent leader, will not seek reelection next year, according to a person familiar with McHenry’s plans who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Gold bars featured in Sen. Bob Menendez bribery case are linked to a 2013 robbery, records show A businessman told police that he was the victim of a robbery in 2013 and asked them to recover the 22 stolen gold bars. Four bars were found a decade later in Menendez's home.

⚖️How could Sen. Ménendez have known when he gave an exculpatory public statement About the gold bars found in his windbreaker that the serial numbers were already recorded in a police report as belonging to the guy who allegedly bribed him?

Rule #1 for criminal defendants: Shut Up!

Update: that was fun to watch! First Bengals road win since Operation Desert Shield!

As a Bengals fan…this has been a rough season. Not a lot positive to watch.

Talking about how he and Biden "differ on Issues X/Y/Z" is pointless and a distraction. It's all part of the "normal political horse race" narrative that is blinding people to the danger ahead.

Too much to hope for, but:

GOP lawmaker: “There’s many of us after last Jan and Oct will vote to expel Gaetz too if Ethics Committee shows he’s guilty. We didn’t enjoy doing it to Santos, but it was necessary. With Gaetz, we want him out, and it can’t happen fast enough.” — Juliegrace Brufke, Axios

Well put, sir. And I must say, I’m happy to see your presence expanding outside the old place.

In Louisville, only one person can discipline the police chief Louisville's police chief gave false testimony in a recent civil trial over a 2021 police chase, which has raised questions about who can hold the city's top law enforcement officer accountable.

RIP to George Santos, the Poochie of cartoonishly inept corrupt comic villains of Congress; so off the chain that even Congressional Republicans were like "look I had the January 6 buffalo horns guy to my Thanksgiving dinner but buddy you? you gotta go."

great paragraph www.nytimes.com/live/2023/12...

the House just set a dangerous precedent that members who lie about literally everything, commit fraud as a lifestyle, and go on lifetime crime sprees cannot serve in Congress

Frankly, I'm shocked. The GOP values power over all. I convinced myself they would grit their teeth and keep him in office just for his vote. The guy really must be repulsive.

Contempt for the rule of law is a key hallmark of fascism, which is why those who insist it doesn't apply to them have to be held to account.

If Leonard Leo refuses to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, then it has a duty to find him in criminal contempt of Congress.
