probably so private emails were never on the state servers where someone could view them. she didn't want to use two email addresses.

privacy/secrecy about her private life

Hillary Clinton’s campaign announced a proposal on Wednesday to eliminate tuition at in-state public colleges and universities for families with annual incomes up to $125,000 — largely embracing a core position of Senator Bernie Sanders, who had pledged to make tuition at public institutions free for all students.

would this have any shot at actually being a thing?

In September 2015, Carlson says she convened a meeting with Ailes to try to put a stop to the harassment, only to be harassed further. “Ailes stated to Carlson: ‘I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you’d be good and better and I’d be good and better,’” reads the complaint.

i'm going to pull a DIM and just post a picture of this guy:

seems like others would have to go along with it. Like, y'know, the state governments where the schools are. The proposal may incorporate some kind of carrot to entice states to buy in - maybe someone can check on that

Roger Ailes wrote:Gretchen Carlson’s allegations are false. This is a retaliatory suit for the network’s decision not to renew her contract, which was due to the fact that her disappointingly low ratings were dragging down the afternoon lineup. When Fox News did not commence any negotiations to renew her contract, Ms. Carlson became aware that her career with the network was likely over and conveniently began to pursue a lawsuit. Ironically, FOX News provided her with more on-air opportunities over her 11 year tenure than any other employer in the industry, for which she thanked me in her recent book. This defamatory lawsuit is not only offensive, it is wholly without merit and will be defended vigorously.

read that in Trump's voice and it's hardly different.

Chaffetz on teevee, he's so excited. He doesn't understand a drip like him got the call to do this interrogation of Comey because it's over. Sorry, chipmunk, you're just a little hack doing the only "work" a little hack can do

It's ironic, that in her eleven years with Fox News, that Fox News provided her more on-air opportunities than any other employer. Quite ironic.

jesus, Gowdy's on now. He's SOOOO bad at this stuff, with his cartoon character deputy voice, greasy hair, and malfoy mug. He's just. plain. awful.

R's rightwing freakshow continues with Jim Jordan giving one of his patented incoherent 500-words-per-second gibbering tirades. Pretty sure Comey hasn't spoken in 5 minutes

Is Kevin McCarthy in the background saying that they're gonna get Hillary's numbers down?

Hillary hot take: I'm glad that we seem to have a Machiavellian who will never let principle get in the way of her agenda on our side. Imagine this: Ryan refuses to hold a vote on something politically popular but controversial like free college. Hillary calls him up, and simply says: Vince Foster. It's gonna be like LBJ without a stupid war. Alas, I don't think she'll do much to reign in Wall Street types, but you can't have anything.

Also, even though JH says I shouldn't read redstate.com, they have gotten rid of Erik Erikson and I do think it's a useful window into the thinking of a certain segment of the right. They certainly don't like Hillary. But even today, the site has a lot more of its front page real estate dedicate to opposing Trump than criticizing Hillary.

Jim Cooper (D-TN) killing it. Notes that congresspersons with access to classified materials - he names the chair of the House committee conducting the Comey hearing as an example ("He lists his private email address on his business card") - are not held to same standard as SoS. he asks why not. His proposal: to avoid hypocrisy revealed by hearings of this kind, let's subject all congresspersons to the same standard as SoS or others who might become subject to the kinds of hearings House has been conducting

It'd just be an enhanced federal aid/grant program. The states wouldn't have to buy in at all.

Nevermind that a family making $130K in Northern VA still struggles to afford college for their (average) two kids absent substantial grants and loans. But hey, class warfare!

So less than 1% of emails on the servers were classified and none had a big classified header. And some may have had classified info in a forward, but the information in the primary email sent wasn't classified...though there may have been a little (C) somewhere.

Lock her up!

(still, the server was a stupid idea borne of convenience and laziness)

This Minnesota police shooting appears to be far worse than the Baton Rouge case.
