Allow me to helpfully translate the subtext of this article from academic to English: there was a massive cheating ring on GroupMe, the professor was unable to do anything about it except make his class harder in response, and the cheating students retaliated and got him fired
Imagine a big disaster in a landlocked state; residents begging their fellow Americans for food, medicine, etc; BUT DC blocks the delivery trucks unless they're US-made/owned/operated, AND there are only like 10 eligible trucks & 2 eligible rds
That's Puerto Rico & the Jones Act

Amazing. Media Matters VP who, according to the group’s Form 990, makes $180k a year, is mad that a targeted debt relief program won’t do much for her.

Nope, sorry Mr Krugman. They changed the rules to make the ships wait 150 miles off shore where they won't show up in these metrics. Out of sight, out of mind. Check https://t.co/2N6FPvAoZj for more accurate data about transit times. Delays persist.

"the United States could, with a stroke of a pen, totally destroy the capacity of Russia to compete militarily or economically with us by offering a green card to any Russian with a technical degree who wishes to emigrate to the United States" https://t.co/odDEIxEFjX
Deterrence failed. Now it’s time for Putin’s defeat. Sanction Russia. Seize oligarch assets. Arm Ukraine. Arm Ukrainian insurgents. Make Ukraine the graveyard of the Putin regime’s imperial dreams: https://t.co/IeHc5yzGIQ
