Considering that he apparently raised that money by running the worlds first ever succesful ponzi scheme I don't imagine the SEC will let him keep it for long.

Honestly if we could only teach Americans One Thing That Sticks, how tax brackets work is way down my list of priorities really.

How likely is this Republicans asking Iran to delay prisoner release? It's starting to blow up on Twitter.

I agree with what someone said in the Iran thread. It's pretty unlikely but if it turns out to be true I wouldn't be surprised at all.

I think it's plausible for some freshman tea party congressmen to try and relay that message, but I find it incredibly improbable that nobody in central intelligence would've picked up on it if it really was a thing.

A fundamental restructuring of the way we teach math, which as the common core initiatives have shown, is an uphill battle since people don't like being shown how dumb they are.

Best part is where the woman gave an interview saying how cool it was that the Cruz campaign wasn't concerned about her past, and then later she called the interviewer back and basically said "whoops, they do care."
