The OPT rule is out, and it's a mess. DHS is aware that this rule will be challenged in court, but didn't even bother to do a defensible analysis of the costs. For example, their estimate of costs that this rule will impose on the public over 10 years is a range between $241 million to $29 billion.

Due to high uncertainty in regulated parties’ behavioral responses, DHS uses ranges to estimate costs and transfers. These ranges reflect different scenarios for how many OPT fees the educational institutions would fund. If all OPT fees are paid by schools, the main impact would be the transfer of payments from the fees. If some OPT fees are not paid by schools due to reduced participation, there would be opportunity costs from the lost OPT participation. DHS estimates the annualized costs of the proposed rule would range from $32 million to $8.2 billion, with a primary estimate of $4.1 billion discounted at 3 percent. Discounted at 7 percent, the estimated annualized costs of the proposed rule would range from $34 million to $8.2 billion, with a primary estimate of $4.1 billion. DHS estimates the 10-year total costs of the proposed rule would be $275 million to $69.9 billion, with a primary estimate of $35.1 billion discounted at 3 percent (see Table 10). Discounted at 7 percent, the estimated total costs of the proposed rule would be $241 million to $57.7 billion, with a primary estimate of $29.0 billion.

About 15 minutes ago I saw a massive mosquito on the wall, and as I went to grab something to take care of it, it flew away. Haven't seen it again. So, anyway, tonight's the night I die.

I was living in Philly, running a campaign at the time and out of all my coworkers, my place was closest to the office. So 15 of us ran to my 1bd apt and sat there and watched the vote... and had the same sort of celebration. If you didn't live it, you have no idea how big of a deal this was.

"Disgraced." Hastert was paying hush money to another man whom he sexually abused as a child when he was the child's wrestling coach. He later admitted to molesting 4 kids. He got 15 months for the financial crimes (served 13); 0 months for the sex crimes, as the statute of limitations expired. 👇🏻

I feel like the news has moved on from Christa Pike's execution, which failed. She's in the hospital unable to wake. Severely injured. Essentially we've used state sanctioned methods to torture her. Which is illegal. This country is a horror show.
