Mindwalker Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Court temporarily blocks Biden’s student loan forgiveness A federal appeals court late Friday issued an administrative stay temporarily blocking President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel billions of dollars in federal student loans, throwing the program into limbo just days after people began applying for loan forgiveness. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals issued the stay while it considers a motion from six Republican-led states to block the program. The stay ordered the Biden administration not to act on the program while it considers the appeal. https://apnews.com/article/st-louis-missouri-kansas-nebraska-education-9b73de3404719e08a3910ed58e8481c7?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=TopNews&utm_campaign=position_02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State Secrets of the highest and most sensitive nature. The sad part is he has been up to it in broad daylight and has faced no consequences. Will noone save us from this monster?

teej6 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Early voter turnout is very high. NYT is reporting: “More than 5.5 million people have cast ballots in person or by mail. Experts predict high turnout in the midterm elections… Through the first five days of early voting in Georgia, in-person turnout is up 70 percent compared with turnout in the 2018 midterm elections, according to the secretary of state’s office. In North Carolina, absentee ballot requests are up 114 percent compared with requests in 2018, according to the board of elections. And in Florida, the total early vote is up 50 percent compared with the early vote in 2018.” Is this a good sign for the democrats or have elections changed so much in the recent past that nothing is a predictor anymore?

I plan to vote the first day of early voting, which here is the 29th. Not there's much to vote for, maybe two candidates, mostly voting against as with governor. Again, I'm being forced by the Dems to vote for a non-entity at best, just to keep the reichlicans from getting it -- if indeed they don't get it. They might, since the nonentity incumbent Dem isn't firing up anybody, anybody at all. But I vote in all elections and always have, so no indicator of anything.

ThinkerX Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Bizarre claim that a certain Iowa senator might actually be in danger of losing his seat in this election. Is this even somewhat credible? Or is this poll a fluke? I also have to wonder how many other supposedly 'safe' seats - especially on the House side - are actually not so safe after all. I don't expect any to actually flip, but several far closer than expected contests doesn't seem out of the question. Iowa Poll shows Mike Franken within striking distance of Sen. Chuck Grassley. Could he really win? (msn.com) ----- Mike Franken has less than three weeks to do what no one has been able to accomplish in 64 years: defeat Chuck Grassley. A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows he’s within striking distance. Grassley leads by 3 percentage points among likely voters. Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning. “We are right on the cusp, and he knows that,” Franken said of his opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So..it seems as if he has a good chance to only lose by three. In terms of chances to win, I'd say these polls drop Grassley from, like, 99% to 90%.

Not sure why you're concluding that. Right now the partisan split is 40/30 Dem to GOP. Granted, it's not as disproportionate as Pennsylvania (which doesn't have any in-person early votes), but it's a better split than both Florida and Arizona (both of which also don't have any in-person early votes yet, but also have long histories of no-excuse mail-in balloting).
