New this morning: @ewarren calls for cancellation of $50,000 of student loan debt for households with incomes under $100,000, $100B investment in Pell Grants, $50 billion fund for HBCU's and a ban on for-profit colleges receiving federal dollars thedailybeast.com/elizabeth-warr…
Overall, the policy is estimated to provide total debt cancellation to more than 75 percent of Americans with student loan debt and some form of relief to more than 95 percent. thedailybeast.com/elizabeth-warr…
Warren also suggests instituting an annual audit for public colleges to address shortfalls for lower-income students and students of color and prohibiting them from considering citizenship status or criminal history in their decisions on admissions. thedailybeast.com/elizabeth-warr…
Estimated cost of the free college plan + debt cancellation is around $1.25 trillion over ten years, a figure Warren would want to pay for with her ultra-millionaire tax proposal thedailybeast.com/elizabeth-warr…

There is a campaign type ad playing before Schultz’ book event tonight. “We are living at a time where some for whatever reason want to do everything they can to divide us.” It’s a largely biographical ad
Schultz still says he’s considering. A msn screams “don’t help elect Trump, go back to Davos!!!”
He gets taken out by security. Also says “go back to getting ratioed on Twitter!”

I’m just going to use this an open thread for random comments about CNN’s town hall marathon tonight.

The order: Klobuchar, Warren, Sanders, Harris and Buttigieg.

Here we go with Klobuchar.

(open thread)
Klobuchar gets three good questions right out of the gate.

Where does she stand on:
1) Pursuing impeachment
2) Criminal justice reform
3) College tuition and student loan debt forgiveness

Meandered on impeachment; gave a fairly vanilla answer on CJ; balked at free college.
Generally speaking, having now watched Klobuchar in public forums like this Town Hall a few times:

Even as a careful listener, I find it very hard to peg what her position is on overall issues.

Lots of details. No pithy, memorable lines. Becomes static for me quickly.

NEW: @EWarren education policy 👇

—Cancels up to $50,000 in student loan debt for incomes under $250k

—Estimated to fully erase debt for 42 million or 75% of people w/loans

—Free 2- and 4-year public college

—Costs $1.25 trillion, funded by wealth tax

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Student loan debt in America topped $1.5 trillion last year.

Elizabeth Warren is making an appeal to millennials on a major crisis for their generation.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
How Warren’s plan works:

If your income is <$100k, erase up to $50,000 in student debt. Gone.

Then for every $3 in income, that $50,000 in forgiveness drops by $1.

So if you make $130k, get $40,000. If you make $190k, get $20,000.

By $250k you get $0.

Good morning. Big day for folks who follow education politics and policy. We have DeVos testifying before the House Ed Labor Cmte regarding the administration's ed priorities, which is sure to be a bit contentious. AND Sens. Alexander and Murray will hold another #HEA hearing.

Chicago universities partner to fuel Conservative agenda, empower white Christian ruling class
2/ Seven years ago, Roosevelt University opened its $123 million, 32-story Vertical Campus in Chicago's South Loop. It's the sixth-tallest academic facility in the world. Moscow State University is the tallest.

3/ The high-rise was part of a university transition under then-president Charles Middleton to move away from serving the non-traditional, older, part-time student and focus on enticing more traditional, college-aged, full-time students.

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house

New #PA Congressional map is pretty much the best one Democrats could have hoped for. At least 2 pickups in neutral environment, likely ability to win 11 in current D+6 environment. Post coming
PA redraw creates map that is almost entirely drawn from scratch. Huge shifts from 2016 plan all over the place. Dems favored to win 9 seats there in almost any national environment.
(big swings mostly from renumbering, but aggregate differences are clear)
