“On Feb. 13, Miguel A. Cardona, the education secretary, told reporters that once the technical problems were cleared, FAFSA would be a ’15-minute process’ and a ‘net win’ for students and schools.”

Cardona, Mayorkas-waddya have to do to get fired from Biden’s administration?… https://t.co/2g3q2KNmF7

Arguably the blame-shifting effort has already begun. But if you read WaPo’s account, it seems as if the Biden Education Department turned a narrow mandate into a chance to revamp the system, and then failed to deliver. Seems like it’s mostly on them. https://t.co/RCno7wqGH8

How long before the Biden administration blames its front-page student-aid FAFSA fuck-up (screwing over DREAMERS, minorities and the poor) on Congress, or on Trump? https://t.co/eexM9tGD3F https://t.co/Y83kmYYLCj

This was the passage in BIden’s prepared SOTU that threatened to be eloquent: “In my career I’ve been told I’m too young and I’m too old. Whether young or old, I’ve always known what endures.

“I was born amid World War Two… I grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania….” Rereading Biden’s SOTU–a whole lot of it sounds like a pol introducing himself to the American people at a party convention, not someone who’s already been President for 3 years. https://t.co/tzN8xAhtx9

I don’t think it was that bad, but yes. Basically yelling at Republicans, focus on campaign hot buttons (eg Jan 6), none of the border initiatives that were trial-ballooned. Lots of “I”, less “we.” Not what people expect in a SOTU. https://t.co/GAsl1HJR5k

Not a foreign policy expert, but haven’t the neocon fantasies about deposing Putin been put to rest by events? There will be (at best) a negotiated settlement. So send Ukraine the ammo and then pressure them to cut the best deal possible. Maybe I’m missing something. https://t.co/H4cW3uQR0l

I don’t think it’s a big deal at all if Biden doesn’t remember the year his son died–happens all the time. The enormity of the event overwhelms the details.
