"There are still roughly four million people across the rest of the country who are prevented from voting due to felony convictions, according to The Sentencing Project. Voting rights experts say that such laws are racially discriminatory given that African Americans are disproportionately falsely convicted of crimes in the U.S."

"The Education Department has finalized a rule that will force schools to prove that the loans students are taking out are paying off. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music, and cosmetic certification programs will be hit the hardest." https://newrepublic.com/post/213446/trump-litmus-tests-student-loans-degrees-income #UsPol 2/n
