🧵on #IDR recently, I talked with the #CBO as a SME to help their modeling, with the limited information they had.
I refused to guess what % of people in the portfolio would go into the "new IDR" as details were lacking. I smart not to as REPAYE will be the vessel of changes.

I think this plan will encourage more people with UG debt to enroll in REPAYE and see what happens - sorta like insurance against economic shocks, as I said to @AnnaHelhoski in the piece she modeled outcomes for last year.
The ≤$12k marker for UG debt to be forgiven at 10 years seems arbitrary - as $17K is the average loan debt for those with an Associates and $14k with a certificate.
This should help stop-outs, though - but $20k just makes more sense without the complexity of +$1k = 1 more year.

@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ Offshore #PSP (Payment Service Provider) #CheckoutDOTcom (formerly #OpusPayments) - “Checkout”: ‘how Europe’s most valuable start-up lost its crown’ (ft.com/content/308048…). Checkout (like it’s PSP brethren) was ‘formally’ authorised by the …
2/ UK’s blind eyed financial regulator (@TheFCA, formerly #FSA) in 12/2012, following implementation of the 2011 #Emoney regulations: Checkout’s website would follow months later. The FCA’s ‘#Emoney scene’ has been long covered by a thick ‘FCA fog’ which scandal …
3/ after scandal has sunk in to (#Wirecard, #AlliedWallet, #Payza etc - the subjects of future exposes). Little is known from the press about Checkout (precursor: #OpusPayments) - many press articles read like the same company press release, simply regurgitated.
NEW - #ISIS announce the death of leader Abu al-Hassan al-Qurashi -- "killed in action," but no details as to when or where.

The idea that the CIA's T-50 program with the #FSA "failed" & the DOD's Train, Advise, Assist & Equip program with the #YPG-#SDF "succeeded" -- one key point made here -- is a bit of a simplification.
There can't be a direct comparison, given the operational differences.
There can't be a direct comparison, given the operational differences.
The CIA's T50 program was covert & limited strictly to weapons supply & [very] limited intel support/external advice to groups (a) active in a highly complex environment, amid hostile jihadists & (b) against governments, with airforce/s, artillery etc.
What happened in #Daraa today was not a surprise -- it's been on the cards for 2+ years.
#Assad won't "reconcile" with opponents he has labeled "germs" since 2011 & #Russia has unsurprisingly proven incapable of facilitating the impossible.
This is why UNSCR 2254 exists.

S. #Syria: this morning this huge convoy reached town of #Daraa. It has 100s of 4th Division soldiers with heavy artillery & many armor incl. Adra tanks equipped for urban warfare. Way to get concessions but any offensive has to been greenlighted by #Russia (not the case so far).
Zionist terrorist gangs are no different to #ISIS #FSA #NusraFront terrorist gangs in #Syria. Synergy is important to fully understand. Deir Yassin massacre 9/10 April 1948. Pregnant women were raped & murdered, their abdomens torn open, bodies dismembered. Irgun gang led by...
2. Menachem Begin. Purpose was to drive fear into Palestinian hearts & force them fm homes & villages in ethnic cleansing pogrom.
In #Homs Western/Israeli-backed terrorist gangs "moderates" paraded women naked, mocking them. Pregnant women were raped, foetus were torn from

3. their abdomen & armed gangs played football with it. Women were tied between two cars, the cars drove further & further apart until the body was torn in two, while still alive. This is all based on survivor testimony, totally ignored by Corporate media criminals who portray
From released videos of Turkish Grey Wolves mafia leader (Sedat Peker),we have learnt that;
⭕️Turkish govt sell cocaine/heroine in Europe & Turkey
⭕️Turkish govt use drug money to finance #FSA groups in Syria& #Afrin

This is great by @jeromedrev & @patrickhaenni -- #HTS has come to represent something uniquely challenging.
After violently achieving domination (vs. #FSA, #AQ & #ISIS), it's now pursuing a policy of "gradual opening & mainstreamisation," giving concessions & seeking acceptance.

@jeromedrev @patrickhaenni The U.S, #Europe & #Turkey should press #HTS to address concerns & "define clear benchmarks which (if met) could enable HTS to shed its “terrorist” label," argue @dkhalifa & @NoahBonsey.
Doing so would symbolize a new diplomacy+military approach to CT.

@jeromedrev @patrickhaenni @dkhalifa @NoahBonsey Following yesterday's public revelation of #HTS hosting @FrontlinePBS (& others) in #Idlib, my thread below details how the former #AlQaeda affiliate has adapted in recent yrs & created new realities & challenges/dilemmas we'll have to deal w. eventually:
Over the years, #bced teachers' objection to the #FSA has often been narrowed to the Fraser Institute's ranking of schools. Although this is a particularly odious use of the results, it should by no means be considered the sole reason to dispense with this standardized exam. 1/
The #FSA is bad pedagogy. The format and content are outdated. Giving a test unrelated to classroom learning in an unfamiliar format is completely contrary to best practice in assessment and evaluation. The exam does not align with #bced new curriculum. 2/
The exam reduces student service. Administering the #FSA takes up valuable teaching time. Time that could be spent serving the student is spent serving the test. Low scores for a school result in no additional support or resources for students. 3/
The intra-jihadi dynamic in #Idlib is rapidly intensifying, as #HTS is seeking to re-assert itself vis-a-vis (1) the opposition, (2) local civil society, (3) #Turkey & (4) increasingly exasperated #AlQaeda-leaning factions.
In doing so, it's revealing its multiple identities.

I recognize the right of the people of #CHAZ to self determination and independence, I'm thinking of giving them some oil wells in #Alaska to survive; maybe #Russia can help secure those wells, and calling on freedom fighters of the world to move there:
SATO (South Atlantic Treaty Organizations) should immediately deploy in #CHAZ and secure its territories from the regime of #DonaldTrump which in real oppress and kill their own citizens live on camera with support of the #US National Guards militias.
#GeorgeFloyd #ICantBreathe
#GeorgeFloyd #ICantBreathe
The people of #California should allow #FUSA (Free US Army) to burn their wheat fields in order to support #CHAZ independence from the regime of #DonaldTrump who lost legitimacy and is hiding in a bunker under the #WhiteHouse:

#Syria: rebels claim to have launched an counter-offensive on the village Nayrab, in order to break the siege on Saraqib and relieve the rebels still stuck inside the town
#BREAKING: An #USAF's MQ-9 Reaper drone used its Hellfire R9X to slice a top JIhadist commander in pieces in al-Bassuta, #Afrin, #Syria. First footage of the aftermath of the airstrike which left a commander of #AlQaeda affiliated #HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) & two others dead 👇

Wreckages of the missile used by #SyAF-#Russia|n warplanes on a refugee camp in Qah.
Still unclear to me the logic of using such weapon since now Russia cannot share its well-known fake news about White Helmets staging the attacks.
