You’ve not paid a attention to how a bill becomes a law. I think they made some cartoons about that you could probably find online.

A root canal would be way different though, and unlikely to be something they could do at school.

The cost for an extraction is almost all the dentist’s labor, so if these were volunteer dentists it wouldn’t have necessarily cost the program anything extra. Still messed up, of course. 

And I’m not even sure there’s such thing as an emergency cavity. Even the worst dental carries can wait a day or two to get proper informed consent.

It’s been introduced during sessions when Republicans controlled both houses. It’s was introduced during every session of Bush’s presidency. It’s literally never made it out of committee.

This bill has been introduced every congress for years. It’s dumb, for sure, but it’s not trump related by any stretch.

It’s never made it out of committee, even during the various years when Republicans controlled both houses. I’m not saying it’s 100% certainty that the same will happen this year, but there’s really no reason to think it has much of a chance.

Incorrect. Democrats won more House votes state wide in California by nearly the same margin as seats won, and they consistently win statewide federal races (senate and pres).

Sure are. The oldest members of that cohort are around 35.

PSLF was a Bush era law, believe it or not. It’s just that most of the law didn’t become active until Obama’s first year.

Fun news for you: if he’s doing PSLF the forgiven amount is not considered taxable income!

He’d never be in the general population - they couldn’t even keep him from getting punched when he was awaiting trial.

I’m fairly sure there’s no cross examination in the sentencing hearing.

I’m sorry your daughter died. That is just an awful thing to experience.

As far as the Twins org goes, it’s basically putting out a press release, just via twitter rather than the paper. It’s reasonably common to do, I doubt they’re looking for any sort of Internet points.

Nor can you write off “publicity you created”. Donations have to be real things - money, goods, actual services.

Provided she doesn’t have a contract, which she almost certainly doesn’t, those views don’t even need to conflict with the company. At will employees can be fired at any time for any reason not explicitly prohibited by law. In general, the only expressions specifically protected are discussions of wages and working…

Ugh, that’s a shame. I’m an alumna of a niche liberal arts college that has struggled (they closed and reopened in the 2000s), and alumni support and outreach has been absolutely critical to keeping the re-opened college going. It’s completely ridiculous that they wouldn’t leverage one of their greatest assets, a…

The fuck is he doing for 12 hours a day???
