Biden student loan forgiveness may proceed after small win in lawsuit
A federal judge declined to extend a temporary restraining order halting the regulation, clearing the way for the Biden administration to move forward with the plan.Danielle Douglas-Gabriel (The Washington Post)
The ruling, issued late Wed by US Dist Judge J. Randal Hall in #Georgia, stems from a lawsuit filed in Sept by 7 #Republican-led states to stop the #Biden admin’s new #StudentLoanForgiveness rule. The
states — #Missouri, #Georgia, #Alabama, #Arkansas, #Florida, #NorthDakota & #Ohio — claim that the admin is exceeding its authority & illegally preparing to forgive #loans before the rule is even in effect.
Federal prosecutors laid out their most extensive case to date against former President Donald Trump for his effort to overturn the 2020 election in a sweeping legal brief that was unsealed Wednesday by a federal judge who is weighing the explosive criminal charges against him.

Trump Fumes Over Release of New Evidence in Election Interference Case
Donald Trump raged on Truth Social after a DOJ evidence brief related to his election interference case was unsealed on Wednesday.Nikki McCann Ramirez (Rolling Stone)
For the 1st time ever, a plurality of swing state voters now think that a #Democrat will win the presidential #election. This month, 46% of voters think #Harris will win, compared to 39% who think it will be #Trump. That is an 11-point swing in Harris’ favor since Aug, & suggests that Harris has been successful in presenting herself as a serious candidate.

Candidates who are afraid of fact-checking are afraid of the truth…and afraid of being caught lying.
Today Vance complained to debate moderators that he was being fact-checked.
Today Trump refused an invitation to appear on 60 Minutes because he didn’t want to be fact-checked, according to his campaign.
Their intention is to lie and deceive.
Trump-Vance cannot be trusted. They don’t deserve our votes.

Key takeaways from #CorporateMedia punditry about the #VPDebate:
- #Facts don't matter
- It's all about the feels
- Style over substance
- #Lying is just fine if you are confident and poised while doing it
- #Racism is just fine if you do it without screaming
- Scapegoating of #immigrants is just #normal American politics (again)

From late summer’s VP pageant of Democratic middle-aged American white men, #TimWalz emerged as an avatar of football-coaching, social-studies-teaching, father-figure affability, & this appeal helped carry him past arguably more strategic choices to a spot on the #Harris ticket. His affect, along w/his record as #Minnesota governor, made progressive policies look like a matter of folksy #CommonSense.

That may be true in a sociological context, but in the realm of pop culture & style, the increasing ambiguity of “dad” has made it a handy floating signifier.Dad jokes, dad hats, dad shoes, dad bods, dad thrillers, dad rock, sad dads: to the extent that “dad” is a brand, dad is never bad.

“The paradigm for this snug arrangement is familiar,” he wrote. “It’s the *traditional* American family. ‘Daddy’ locks the doors at night & brings home the bacon.” [again 🖕]
By the time Matthews was writing, it was an arrangement already in decline [TYVM]. From 1972 to 1992, the share of marriages in which a man was the sole provider had fallen from 49 to 23%, a shift that left open the question of how #fatherhood might evolve & be redefined.
In 1991,…Chris Matthews, in a TNR column, proposed a dichotomy that has since become a cliché: the #Democrats were the “Mommy” party [🖕], responsible for the nurturing work of #healthcare, #education, & #SocialSecurity [those exclusively female concerns?], & #Republicans—the “Daddy” party—protected the country from criminals & foreign adversaries & kept a stern eye on the finances [soooo #sexist].
