Time and again, Betsy DeVos has shown just how determined she is to help her friends who run predatory for-profit colleges, no matter the cost to the students she is supposed to protect. Last year was no exception, as the Department of Education released a new regulation that would further hurt students already defrauded by for-profit colleges. The decades-old “borrower defense to repayment” rule is meant to cancel the student loans of student borrowers who have been defrauded by their colleges. The Obama administration updated and formalized this process in a 2016 rule. But when DeVos became secretary of education, she set out to undo it. And that’s not all: she is currently being held in contempt of court for continuing to collect on the debt of students whose debts are supposed to have been cancelled already. Instead of supporting students, DeVos has attacked defrauded borrowers, limiting their loan forgiveness by millions of dollars, and allowing schools to use the forced arbitration “ripoff clause” in their contracts, which bars them from having their day in court if their school breaks the law. For many affected students—so many of whom are veterans, first-generation college students, and people of color—it’s a double whammy: not only are their finances and careers wrecked by having worthless degrees, they have no way to seek justice because DeVos has changed the rules to stack the deck against them. DeVos’ rewrite puts the burden of proof on individual borrowers,, a tactic meant to make it harder for borrowers to win their money back even when they have been ripped off, and to stop people fighting back together. DeVos’ version of the rule would force hundreds of thousands of students defrauded by for-profit colleges to suffer yet another injustice. But Congress could stop her! Congress is poised to vote on whether the DeVos rule should be repealed. It’s time for Congress to stand up for students and reject Betsy DeVos’ gifts to abusive for profit schools at the expense of students. Tell your lawmakers to vote to repeal the DeVos borrower defense rule, by supporting H.J.Res. 76 and S.J.Res. 56.

We need it!

Our current jerseys are awful.

The American public are entitled to know the facts.

San Antonio must make a very clear stance that “security” is not enhanced by ramping up the lethality of forces lined up along the border or aggressively targeting immigrants. These are methods of terror. San Antonio should redefine “security” to mean access to food, housing, health care, education and work. These are the things that lead to meaningful, secure lives, not assassinations at borders or deportation of beloved community members. San Antonio has the important responsibility to behave like a compassionate city as articulated by our own city Charter for Compassion: “Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.” We are charged with the responsibility to actively demand better for ourselves, for each other, and as a city. Because of this, we demand a compassionate San Antonio that envisions, fosters, and creates a welcome home for immigrants, not an enabler of those who terrorize them. Again, rise to the challenge, and say no to the expo.

This is important to me because my brother got bullied at our old school for years and nobody did anything about it, not even the teachers standing right there! Not all teachers are like this. Some genuinely don't know about or see bullying happening. So, I feel like teachers should keep a better eye on students. Also, the students around did nothing either. It makes you just as bad as the bully if you see bullying occurring but don't do anything about it.

We need Chad back. His enthusiasm, his passion and his heart are missed. USA BMX, do the right thing!

The reasoning for this being important is to signify that Warwick truly does care about its students thoughts.

He most likely will never receive a subpoena and he can change the course of the impeachment proceedings. Either way we will have his truth.

This is so important because when kids feel like they have no help or no one to talk to they take the wrong path which causes the juvenile crime rate raise and we need to make it go down.

This is a very important issue to me. I'm very concerned for myself being LGBT and my brothers and sisters in this state that we shouldn't be discriminated against just because of who we love

Even after House members have voted to impeach President Trump, they still have important work to do. Right now, they’re negotiating with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to stop him from rigging President Trump’s impeachment trial for an acquittal. But McConnell can’t stop them from continuing to investigate the White House as a co-equal branch of government. And they can start right now by subpoenaing former National Security Advisor John Bolton -- who said he’d be “prepared to testify” in a Senate trial. Top national security officials have already testified that Bolton, who abruptly left in September, was concerned by Trump’s efforts to strongarm Ukraine by withholding military aid -- allegedly equating the discussions to a “drug deal.” Bolton has firsthand knowledge of Trump’s extortion scheme -- others have testified that he tried to stop it as it happened. It’s possible that he’ll be a big crack in the dam, leading to more and more administration officials coming forward to tell the truth and avoid going down with Trump. A House subpoena is backed by force of law -- and even though Bolton’s lawyers won’t confirm whether he’d testify to the House as well, the House would be within its rights to use any legal means needed to compel his testimony. If you agree that we have a right to hear John Bolton’s potentially damning testimony about Trump, add your name to tell House Democrats to subpoena him.
