@EdWorkforceCmte @virginiafoxx I read independent analysis that clearly demonstrates most borrowers under the CCRA would face significantly higher monthly payments, and receive no safeguards for required payments past 25 years. Where's the "real solutions" for most borrowers? ticas.org/affordability-…

.@virginiafoxx: “I don’t know how many times the Biden-Harris admin. needs to hear this before the message sinks in: its student loan schemes are illegal. Quit trying to force SAVE through & instead work with Republicans on real solutions to the problem, like passing the CCRA."

In April 1985, an extraordinary event took place over the Irish Sea, captured by Adrian Meredith in what would become the only photo of Concorde flying at supersonic speed. Adrian, who was flying a Royal Air Force (RAF) Tornado jet, had the opportunity to participate in a planned rendezvous with the legendary Concorde. The Tornado, a versatile and powerful combat aircraft developed and used by the RAF, was primarily designed for air defense, ground attack, and reconnaissance missions. While it could match Concorde's cruising speed, its fuel consumption rate was significantly higher, allowing it to sustain that speed only for a matter of minutes. Despite the Tornado's capabilities, capturing the iconic photograph posed a unique challenge. To maximize its speed and keep up with the Concorde, the Tornado was stripped of all non-essential equipment. The crew made every effort to maintain the pace, racing to catch up with the Concorde as it soared through the skies. However, due to the Tornado's limited endurance at high speeds, the crew had to make the difficult decision to break off the rendezvous after just four minutes. Meanwhile, the Concorde, an engineering marvel of its time, continued its journey, gracefully cruising towards its destination at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Despite the Tornado's formidable capabilities as a combat aircraft, it could only briefly keep pace with the Concorde's supersonic flight. The juxtaposition of these two aircraft highlights the distinct roles they played in aviation history—the Concorde as a pinnacle of supersonic passenger travel and the Tornado as a versatile military workhorse. Together, the Tornado and the Concorde symbolize the remarkable advancements in aviation technology during the late 20th century. Their fleeting rendezvous over the Irish Sea and the remarkable photograph captured during that encounter stand as a testament to the ingenuity, dedication, and pursuit of excellence that define the aviation industry.

Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:

Another day in America: Students jumping out of windows to flee a crazed gunman. This isn’t freedom. This isn’t public safety. THIS. ISN’T. NORMAL.

Oliver Anthony shuts down Republicans for claiming “Rich Men North of Richmond”: “It’s aggravating seeing people on conservative news trying to identify with me like I’m one of them... I wrote that song about [GOP presidential candidates]. That song has nothing to do with Biden.”

I know none of this is funny but I also cannot stop laughing at this graphic

Noem's ad claims that the average starting salary of apprenticeships in SD is $77,000. But that's not true. That stat is based off of the national average of workers who have COMPLETED an apprenticeship. listen.sdpb.org/politics/2023-…

But with Minnesota waiving tuition for in-state students whose families earn $80,000 annually or less — a program that begins in fall of 2024 — the pressure to compete with South Dakota’s neighbors is only increasing. thedakotascout.com/p/south-dakota…

I swore I would not quote Clinton again (as a lightning-rod and a has-been) but damn it, she told us in no uncertain terms.
