NBA fans everywhere have been blessed this season with the opportunity to witness the historical greatness of the 65-7 Golden State Warriors.

(03/22/16 3:20am)
Anna Alaburda, a 2007 law graduate from the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, just recently got her first day in court. However, unlike what many would expect, she was not working but was rather suing her law school with the claim that it inflated the employment data for its graduates as a way of attracting new students to enroll, according to a March 7 New York Times article. Now, Alaburda, 37, has more than $170,000 of student-loan debt without a full-time salaried job as a lawyer.

Reject propagation of “politics of resentment” by Sanders and Trump
(03/22/16 3:20am)
Ridicule and immaturity have been the defining characteristics of this year’s presidential race. Candidates’ tweets, debate speeches and campaign ads — they’ve all been rife with shameless “politics of resentment.” Two striking figures, in particular, have dominated the political and media landscape.

They ostensibly come from opposite sides of the aisle, and yet, they are remarkably similar. They are Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.
