Serving Students First: Federal Student Loan Servicers Face Higher Standards
In October, the U.S. Department of Education unveiled the latest set of requirements in its ongoing process to select new companies to service the loans of tens of millions of federal student loan borrowers once the current contracts expire in 2019. The standards are voluminous: There are more than 4,000 new rules in a massive spreadsheet that govern every aspect of the loan servicing process, covering topics from acceptable paperwork processing times to the stationary that borrowers receive in the mail.
These requirements implement the ambitious vision for student loan servicing outlined in a July 2016 memo from U.S. Department of Education Undersecretary Ted Mitc . This memo lays out
the federal expectation that servicers must be active guides that help borrowers navigate their way out of debt.
The do ent also suggests a change in how servicers will be judged. Under the new requirements,
they would be
evaluated not only on their borrowers’ outcomes but also on whether they are reaching out to and communicating with borrowers as clearly and effectively as they should be.
This way, borrowers no longer receive unclear and inconsistent information.

Trill Till is already making liberals foam at the mouth. That's how I know he's a good pick.
A Guy Who Exists Purely to Troll the Humane Society Was Just Hired by Donald Trump
USDA transition leader Brian Klippenstein heads a group that literally defends puppy mills.
Brian Klippenstein, executive director of a group called Protect the Harvest. The brainchild of Forest Lucas—a right-wing oil magnate and cattle rancher who has himself emerged as a contender to serve as Trump's secretary of the interior—Protect the Harvest seems to exist mainly to troll the Humane Society of the United States.
On its website, Protect the Harvest warns that HSUS seeks to "put an end to animal ownership."
This is nonsense—the Humane Society is by no means coming for your furry friend. Its website features "tools you need to help the pets in your home and beyond." I asked Paul Shapiro, vice president for farm-animal protection at HSUS, whether his group opposes the keeping of pets. "That would certainly be news to the vast numbers of our staff who bring their dogs to work here," he replied.
Protect the Harvest's real beef with HSUS appears to be that the group promotes legislation that curtails some of the harsher aspects of factory-scale animal farming.
The two groups recently clashed over a Massachusetts ballot measure this fall to ban tight cages in egg and pork production. Lucas personally donated nearly $200,0000 to defeat the measure, and Klippenstein actively campaigned against it. The measure passed with overwhelming support on Nov. 8.
Protect the Harvest's zeal to fight regulation of animal farming extends even to "puppy mills"—large facilities that churn out dogs like factory farms churn out pigs. Back in 2010, the year
Protect the Harvest was founded, it vigorously opposed a Missouri ballot measure to "require large-scale dog breeding operations to provide each dog under their care with sufficient food, clean water, housing and space; necessary veterinary care; regular exercise and adequate rest between breeding cycles"; and "prohibit any breeder from having more than 50 breeding dogs for the purpose of selling their puppies as pets."

lol partisan hack
Samuel Adams, to encourage resistance among those who were considering "retiring into private life":
“If ever the Time should come, when vain & aspiring Men shall possess the highest Seats in Government, our Country will stand in Need of its experiencd Patriots to prevent its Ruin.http://www.alternet.org/election-201...-devours-apple
There may be more Danger of this, than some, even of our well disposd Citizens may imagine.
If the People should grant their Suffrages to Men, only because they conceive them to have been Friends to the Country,
without Regard to the necessary Qualifications for the Places they are to fill,
the Administration of Government will become a mere Farce, and our pub-lick Affairs will never be put on the Footing of solid Security.”
Tillerson is a former director of the UNCF, helping countless African-Americans go to college and get higher education and all the opportunities that come with it. He also was president of the Boy Scouts for several years and ended the ins ution's discrimination against openly gay members. And he has a long history of fostering productive relationships with foreign leaders.
Just shows how racist, phobic, and xenophobic the left is that they hate this guy so much.
Christian Taliban, eg Tony Perkins, etc, are going to fight Tillerson's approval because of his "white washing" of Exxon by supporting social issues, as smokescreen over Exxon's knowing destruction of the planet
Responding to Trump's transition team requests for a list of department employees who have worked on climate change-related projects or attended climate change-related meetings, the Energy Department is telling their new boss to get bent.
Energy officials resolutely rejected the request, while reassuring workers. [...]http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/1...28Daily+Kos%29
“We will be forthcoming with all publically-available information with the transition team. We will not be providing any individual names to the transition team.”

Perry, a climate change denier and extreme right-winger, even serves on the board of Energy Transfer Partners, the company behind the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline.

Here Is Rex Tillerson's Awesome Record at ExxonMobil
Was Rex Tillerson a good CEO at Exxon? Over at Bloomberg, Vincent Piazza says Tillerson has two big claims to fame:
Number one, it's the relationship with Russia and the expanding relationship there as well. But also the recent acquisition of XTO back in 2010.
That was a major bet on natural gas that did not pan out—a $35 billion bet on natural gas that seemed to turn the other way on them.
So...a lousy acquisition and, um, Russia. The Wall Street Journal goes into more detail on that:
“I have a very close relationship with [Mr. Putin],” Mr. Tillerson told students at the University of Texas, his alma mater, in February....He was successful, in part because he negotiated with Mr. Putin, who became Russian prime minister in 1999 and has run the country, either as president or prime minister, ever since. Mr. Tillerson’s ties helped him catapult past other executives to lead the company in 2006.
....At a June 2012 meeting with Mr. Putin, Mr. Tillerson said Exxon’s Arctic deal enhanced U.S.-Russian ties. “I agree, as you point out, that nothing strengthens relationships between countries better than business enterprise,” a Kremlin transcript quoted him as saying. The next year, Mr. Putin awarded him Russia’s Order of Friendship for his work.
Well, OK then. He's chummy with Vladimir Putin and he blew $35 billion on a bad acquisition.
But at least he's a great businessman, right?

its just confirmation that conservatives are bought off by oil interests which explains their stance on climate change "skepticism"
Why Trump is leaning towards Rep. Ryan Zinke for interior secretary
Zinke, who serves on House Natural Resources and Armed Services committees, describes himself as "a steadfast advocate for Montana veterans and military personnel and families."
He advocates greater use of public lands for energy production such as oil and natural gas.
Zinke has prioritized development of oil, gas and other resources on public lands and has advocated for state control of energy development on federal lands,
a stance that some environmental groups say threatens national parks. Zinke has voted against efforts to designate new national parks that would diversify the National Park System.
Zinke attracted attention in the 2014 campaign for calling Hillary Clinton "the antichrist."
Zinke has raised doubts about climate change as "unsettled science."

No. He's a "libertarian"
Rick Perry running the energy dept.
The very dept. he wanted to get rid of with his first run for president. It was one of 3 departments Perry wanted to get rid of but he forgot the name, Energy Dept. Now he is gonna run it. You can't make this up. just beautiful stuff..
Just an odd factoid. Hillary wanted to destroy Obama then ended up working for him.
Begs the question.
If climate change is pressing, you should not be able to buy anyone off who isn't dishonest. If you can buy conservatives off so they ignore impending doom, then you're saying the right is corrupt with or without the climate change issue. That also means you're saying liberals are not corrupt and couldn't be bought off even though we all know better.
She wanted him dead?
And don't worry, she not gonna be president.
"you should not be able to buy anyone off who isn't dishonest"
they are all for sale to BigDonor. I suppose some actually want to serve their cons uents, but the corruption of money to win elections, means they must continuously pander to BigDonor who buy votes
