Cuomo proposes that NY enact the Clinton free tuition for those making under 125k plan:
Under the governor’s plan, any college student who has been accepted to a state or city university in New York — including two-year community colleges — will be eligible provided they or their family earn $125,000 or less annually.

Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, unveiled his proposal at an event at LaGuardia Community College in Queens alongside Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who had sought their party’s presidential nomination with a similar stance last year, arguing that student debt was crippling the prospects of generations of young Americans.

If the plan is approved, the Cuomo administration estimates the program would allow nearly a million New York families with college-age children, or independent adults, to qualify. The estimated costs of the program, when fully put in place in 2019, would be $163 million, though the administration acknowledges that estimate could be too low — or too high — depending on participation.

Current tuition at four-year State University of New York schools for state residents is $6,470; at two-year community colleges the cost is $4,350. Costs for City University of New York schools are approximately the same.

He probably sees it as a tool for blackmail..."do as I say or someone will be making an anonymous report to the OEC about your conduct."

they've shown themselves to kiss his boot and ask for more despite anything and everything he's ever said about them. one more won't make them finally grow some balls. and he gets to distance himself from hated Congress in the minds of Republican voters. they see him as a way to finally pass all their wet dreams.

Does he have enough room to slime around having essentially these same words thrown back in his bloated orange face over his appalling conflicts of interest? On a normal planet, in a normal universe, no

Ryan demonstrating he's genius at political maneuvering

we had a kid on my HS football team who somehow got to play on special teams. We joked that his job was to get run over by the opposing team's kicker. That kid looked for all the world like Paul Ryan.

It's going to be amazing watch her morph suddenly into a "mainstream journalist" and criticize the same people for whom she was just carrying water for the past half-decade.

We live in a country where the anchor/chief political correspondent for ABC News was a major figure in a Democratic administration and the president of CBS News is the brother of a top Obama foreign policy aide and the political director of NBC News is a former Dem campaign staffer. It will be amazing to see a mainstream journalist who actually has some background on the right.

They're columnists and commentators, not straight news people.

NYE in India was pretty much a sexual molestation festival (sexual molestival?). The Indian PM blamed it on girls dressing like Westerners

Republicans are going to dismantle the ACA via reconciliation. The Senate is rolling up its sleeves. The Republicans didn't feel like working last Congress but for some reason they have a pep in their step this time around.

Uh huh. This is pretty weak stuff, jh. Stephanopoulos has a glorified title but is still just a co-host of GMA and the co-host of a Sunday morning show that virtually no one watches. He's there for name recognition while Martha does the heavy lifting. Chuck Todd worked for Tom Harkin's campaign, bfd. And the brother thing is hilarious.

Besides, my point is that it'll just make the Fox News political theater be that much more transparent.
