“Tick Tock”
*“Tick Tock”* by Jams Quinn “This country, and with it most of the Western world, is presently going through a period of inflation and credit expansion.

But there used to be a time where animals ... more »

BREAKING: Comparing the greatest House victory margins!
*MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2018Three years out of college:* Democrats won control of the House in last month's elections. That said: Was it the biggest such victory ever? In an admittedly snarky performance, that's what we liberals were told: MAJOR CABLE NEWS HOST (11/28/18): The reason I'm being a little snarky is because all this comes just as Nancy Pelosi led her party to an electoral victory that will return them to power in the House with *the largest margin of victory in the popular vote of any party ever in the midterm election.* No party ever in the history of the country has wo... more »

Trump will never force the drug manufacturers to bring prices of drugs down to the levels they are in other countries. Profits are being shared with the Republican Party and with Republican politicians and those are not toes Trump will ever step on. So what about the newly elected Democrats in Congress? Don’t make me laugh. There’s a reason the establishm... more »

HEA Reauthorization Can Reduce the Equity Gaps that Persist for Students of Color
A new Congress presents a new opportunity to restart the process of reauthorizing the Higher Education Act (HEA).

Monday Linky Randomness
*A Breeding Ground for Thoughtlessness and Contempt.* Twitter is poison to American political discourse. In fact, if you set out to design a platform that would poison America’s discourse and its politics, you’d be hard pressed to come up with something more destructive than Twitter.
