Has anyone else noticed the announcement on the delay in student loan garnishment references OBBBA now allowing two chances at loan rehab? That doesn’t kick in until 2027; and ED was adamant no Direct Loan payments count until July 1, 2027 at neg reg ed.gov/about/news/pre…


Been trying to educate my Swiftie household that this is the best “Ophelia” tune.. It is going as one might expect 😂 youtu.be/xe7y7ByOrwQ?si…

I maintain that we do not appreciate the legend of Jim Abbott enough The man was born without a hand, was a staring MLB pitcher for a decade, threw a no-hitter, and even got a hit What are your baseball accomplishments with two hands? I personally led my JV team in HBPs and…

Nice to see Jim Abbott back on a MLB mound as he threw the ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium last night



How did a tweak to Direct Loan repay saving $100+B get Byrd bathed, but other parts of the bill arguably making major policy changes survive? Repay tweak seems perfect reconciliation fit (provided the courts didn’t outlaw pre passage). I can’t make sense of it.


Search data for this one has to be off the charts rn g.co/kgs/NPwBNNX

Federal outlays in FY 2023 were $6.1 trillion, so improper payments would be less than 4%. I'm sure Americans would welcome action to reduce fraud -- that's part of what inspectors general at 17 different departments did until Trump fired them.

Forty-three paragraphs into the NYT's latest hit piece on @elonmusk, the six (!) by-lined reporters reveal that the federal government lost $236 billion to apparent fraud ("improper payments") in 2023 alone. Maybe this isn't the dunk you guys thought it was?

I caught A Complete Unknown. Thoroughly enjoyed it. There was only one thing missing: Positively 4th Street. I don’t understand how you can make a film where the climax is Newport in ‘65 and not play that song at some point. Could have even been during the credits!

Luigi is a random, private school clown who never lettered in shit and murdered someone who was 1000x more successful with far more humble beginnings. This shouldn’t be hard. And anyone who thinks it’s hard is a goddamn idiot


Everyone in higher ed over the next 5years when the prop school debate reaches masters programs

Ten percent of all graduate students in the U.S. are enrolled at just 15 online mega-universities.

The only one that makes money is the one that is flat out predatory.

All loans except Parent PLUS now cost the government money.

This might be the most tone deaf postgame comment from a conference I’ve ever seen! Your “command center” literally gave them the W cc: @EddieRoyalWR @HokiesFB @WhitBabcock

MAKE THAT 5-0 🙌

so you're telling me the 4-0 ACC team had the call go their way from the ACC command center in Charlotte NC and it gave them an undefeated 5-0 record seems legit


I show this one to the kiddos often

She’s gotten the grades, applied, been admitted & is heading to Illinois State University. She’s excited about sharing a dorm room with a friend. But, there’s one big problem: She doesn’t have any idea how much it will cost her. @WBEZ @opencampusmedia wbez.org/stories/fafsa-…



I didn’t think this was real when I first saw it. Holy moly

As a parent, I know how important #BetterFAFSA is for families. 2 years ago when filling out the FAFSA w/ my son it took about an hour. This year when filling it out with my daughter it took about 30 minutes. For busy families, that time saved counts. Studentaid.gov/FAFSA
