@alex071002 @etonewowo @JennDinKC Would help if borrower gave more details. Did they take more loans? And during the pandemic loans were at 0%, prob made no payments and big capitalization happened.

Portland just banned foie gras.

Not food waste. Not hunger. Not seafood fraud. Not PFAS contamination.

Foie gras.

To be clear, reasonable people can disagree about foie gras production. But when elected officials have a buffet of major food system challenges in front of them, it's fair to ask whether this is really the issue that deserves the most attention.

What bothers me isn't the loss of foie gras. I can live quite happily without it. What bothers me is the opportunity cost. Every hour spent debating a luxury product consumed by a tiny fraction of Americans is an hour not spent tackling problems that affect all of us.

@tumisole I’m with you. No issues with anything players wear on court.

@ToddScoullar I’m no fan of Serena, so calling her the female GOAT is the right call and not hard. This was the best case scenario for fans even if they don’t know it.

@CydHenderson I’d love to know if she can provide any substance to this claim. I can make any claim I want as well. If she did, terrible and ppl need to be better. If not, is she another LeBron with the N word on his gate we never saw?

@espn See ya later!!!

Every single ounce of data tells you otherwise… but he is wearing glasses, so it must be a smart take

What rights are under attack?

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

At a time when LGBTQ+ rights are under attack across our nation, Pennsylvania will remain a place where everyone can love who they love and be who they are, proudly.

Happy Pride, Pennsylvania.

@adammocklerr Was there anything else in the bill? Was it a standalone?

[Bill Shambach @TheKurd]

@onelordmichael @Taallonn @SKWrestling_ Yeah we can’t agree on that. He’s mid at best and no idea how this plays out.

[Bill Shambach @TheKurd]

@Martina And this is the USA’s fault….how????

[Bill Shambach @TheKurd]

@WWE Unreal a guy this fucking mid is champ.

2% is below inflation: Taxpayers would lose $ in real terms.

We need loans fully repaid because we have a $39 TRILLION national debt, & retroactive "help" encourages more bad borrowing.

We also need to end inflationary, unconstitutional, fed student loans going forward.

@BMartin1776 @ChrisLoesch I think having schools be their own lender is a decent option using their endowment as collateral. How do we keep schools
From increasing tuition even more?

[Bill Shambach @TheKurd]

@SurdoOppedere @ChrisLoesch @DLoesch Good points but the refi. Govt loans can be refinanced but not at a lower rate until the reset. And a private loan…can absolutely be denied for plenty of reasons, not all greed.

The green sea turtle is no longer endangered. 🎉

In October 2025, the IUCN moved the green sea turtle from Endangered to Least Concern on the global Red List, skipping Vulnerable and Near Threatened entirely. It's one of the most dramatic uplistings the organization has ever recorded.

The global population has grown by roughly 28 percent since the 1970s. Nesting beaches in Mexico, Hawaii, Brazil, and Florida are seeing numbers that haven't been recorded in living memory.

Florida alone counted 77,000 green turtle nests in 2023. The recovery came from protections that were put in place decades ago and held: international bans on commercial hunting, Endangered Species Act protections in the US, beach monitoring programs, and fishing regulations requiring turtle excluder devices in nets.

The work was slow and often invisible. Sea turtles take decades to reach sexual maturity, so the eggs protected on a beach in 1985 are the breeding adults we're counting in 2026. The results were always going to arrive a generation later than the effort.

But keep this in mind: the global designation is good news, but the species is not saved everywhere, and the threats that drove the original decline, illegal egg harvesting, bycatch, beach development, and warming waters affecting nesting success, haven't disappeared.

But after 40 years on the list, the green sea turtle is coming back.

@DukishDog @The_Astronaut18 @RepLuna @RepMoskowitz Agree with both of you. Feds should get out of the game entirely. Capping interest rates on Fed loans solves almost nothing when most are on some form of IBR now.
