]]>鈥淢y own research shows that misperceptions about public policy are widespread鈥娾€斺€奺ven regarding issues that Americans care deeply about,鈥� she wrote. 鈥淔or example, while many Americans express serious concern over the national debt, two-thirds mistakenly believe China owns at least half of the U.S. national debt. In reality, it owns about eight percent. Sixty-two percent believe that interest on the national debt is more than half the federal budget. These misperceptions are common among both Democrats and Republicans.鈥�

]]>“What he was so well known for was playing these characters of great dignity, great gentle humanity and paternal qualities, and this is so completely the opposite,” Thompson told USA Today. “It would be like suddenly hearing a scandal about Santa Claus. You’ve got a person who was really important in the history of the development of the medium; a person who was the star of the one of the most popular programs of all time, who rescued a network; (but) someone who was playing (a character) completely at odds” with the stories told by his accusers.鈥�

]]>鈥淭his was definitely headline grabbing today, a lot of people are talking about it, but we have to remember that the parent group of Cambridge Analytica has a lot of subsidiaries, and in a lot of ways, this is a shell company,鈥� Grygiel said. 鈥淪hutting it down doesn鈥檛 necessarily impact the parent, and there has also been reports that they could be rebranding and just relaunching the company.

]]>鈥淭his can really set the region ablaze. Having a country like Iran becoming unstable, in this situation, when the whole Middle East is imploding in one way or another, can really raise the stakes, considering Iran鈥檚 size, population, and the geopolitical position it occupies,鈥� he said.
]]>鈥淟ampooning our leaders is as American as apple pie, baseball or campaign contributions. The Supreme Court has agreed,鈥� he wrote. 鈥淚n an important case, Hustler v. Falwell (1988), the Supreme Court provided a history lesson in the role that satire has played in the democracy 鈥� from the country鈥檚 founding, with influential political cartoons as a form of dissent in the colonies, to mockeries of every president since, including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.鈥�
]]>鈥淚t really depends on the Europeans and how far they are willing to go in this game of chicken,鈥� she said. 鈥淚f they really stick to their guns the Trump administration may accept some kind of sop given to them . . . We might get a deal. But [for the US] it鈥檚 not going to be much of a deal.鈥�
]]>鈥淭he hearings that have taken place in the United States and now in the UK have really shown how the company is being run,鈥� Grygiel said. 鈥淲hat we saw unveiled today about these details, not even reading the terms of service, again are showing us how this company is being run. And this wasn鈥檛 just likely an issue for one app, this is likely going to be the same case for many, many apps that have been set up on this platform.鈥�
]]>鈥淧erhaps the most important thing to look is any penalties or APR,鈥� Dutkowsky said in reference to what to look for when getting these cards. 鈥淧eople with bad credit are one step away from having really bad credit, especially if they experience an adverse life event that could affect their ability to repay. People with bad credit should try and avoid severe consequences from a card.鈥�
]]>鈥淎t first, I thought, well, this will be easy. You show up, they give you a smart dog, and it鈥檚 like picking up a car, and then you leave, right? That鈥檚 what I thought,鈥� he said in the interview. 鈥淎nd I didn鈥檛 realize that you learn more about dogs than you ever knew possible, one, and, two, they are building you up, the trainers, to feel not only that you can do this, but that this was the life you were always meant to have.鈥�
]]>“There is certainly nothing categorically wrong with artificiality,” he told the publication. “Art is artificial by definition. When we read a novel or a poem or watch a fictional television show, that stuff is all contrived. Take some of these dating shows, for example. 鈥楾he Bachelor鈥� is filled with people behaving inarticulately, stupidly, insecurely. But when you think about it, courtship in the 21st century is filled with insecurity, stupidity and inarticulate communication.”

The Trump administration wants to use American market power to force our trading partners to adopt policies that help us shape our economy. Neither accepts the damage this behavior does to the rules-based system they both rely upon.鈥�

]]>鈥淕roups of people who鈥檝e been historically treated as suspects fear [being viewed as a suspect] more than those who鈥檝e have enjoyed the privilege of being innocent until proven guilty historically,鈥� Hall said, adding that these assumptions continue a cycle of discrimination in airport security.
]]>鈥淪eason one of 鈥楾he Apprentice鈥� was a rip-roaring success,鈥� Bob Thompson, a Trustee Professor at Newhouse and director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture, told Politico. Season two,听however? Not so much. 鈥淭he slide was pretty precipitous,鈥� Thompson said, while also adding that now, no one is behind the scenes giving instructions to Trump. 鈥淢ark Burnett [the producer of 鈥楾he Apprentice] made Donald Trump look rational, fair, decisive and strong, week after week after week.鈥�
]]>鈥淭hese funds helped pretty good cities be better, as opposed to really helping cities in need to become more viable,鈥� Dutkowsky told North Country Public Radio. 鈥淧laces like Governeur or Tupper Lake.鈥�

]]>鈥淧eople who do international trade, international affairs, their hair is on fire. And I think what the President is really doing here is signaling that we have to change the way we deal with China in particular,鈥� he said. 鈥淎nd it really is over ideas. It鈥檚 innovation.鈥�
]]>鈥淚’m not sure Trump is wired to do what Obama did,鈥� Reeher said. 鈥淐ertainly, he won’t be shy about using executive powers 鈥� that will be the same 鈥� but Obama also used his remaining time, especially in his second term, to exercise the rhetorical presidency. People can debate how much difference that ultimately made, but President Trump, being more fond of Twitter and short, simple critical statements, may not see, or realize, the same opportunity for using the presidency in that way.鈥�
]]>鈥淗ere, because Jeff Sessions has refused from the questions surrounding this investigation, then it鈥檚 up to the Deputy Attorney General,鈥� Banks said. 鈥淧resident doesn鈥檛 like the way the Deputy Attorney General, he could do his job, he could dismiss him.

OrangeSeeds volunteers for the 2016 Big Event.
Check-in begins at 9 a.m., with volunteers returning to campus by 3 p.m. The Big Event is put on by a group of first-year and transfer students who connect with local nonprofits to provide service and volunteer work throughout the day.
鈥淭he Big Event is a first step in making a more service-oriented student body,鈥� says freshman member Patrick Linehan. 鈥淰olunteers will learn about the issues facing our city and the incredible nonprofits doing work to help address those issues. It will be an eye-opening experience, where the volunteers will benefit as much as those they are trying to help.鈥�
Organizers from OrangeSeeds have paired with 14 local organizations to volunteer for the Big Event, including Adapt CNY, Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels and the Ronald McDonald House of CNY. Volunteers will help these organizations by providing different service work for each, such as putting together a community garden at Adapt CNY and helping to organize and execute a cookout for guests at the Ronald McDonald House.
鈥淰olunteering off campus provides an opportunity to expose students to a beautiful, vibrant community full of people with rich and important stories,鈥� says A.J Seymour 鈥�21.
鈥淗aving the opportunity to engage with the community right around us is so rewarding and should be utilized. It鈥檚 a wonderful opportunity to make someone鈥檚 day and create memories,鈥� says Isabella Falcione 鈥�20.
Check-in on April 21 begins at 9 a.m. at Hendricks Chapel. A light breakfast will be provided and T-shirts will be given out to the first 150 people to check in.
At the check-in, two speakers will begin the event with welcome speeches. They are the Rev. Brian Konkol, dean of Hendricks Chapel, and Syeisha Bird, the director of the Office of Engagement at 黑料不打烊.

It was widely reported that somebody from Palantir had gone and helped Cambridge Analytica in the design of their app so it was surprising that he punted that one.”

]]>It鈥檚 an “an important milestone,鈥� Grygiel said. “This is a first step in the process of writing much needed regulation. It is clear from congressional testimony that self-regulation alone is not working and that regulatory oversight is needed in the United States in order to ensure safe social media.”
]]>鈥淭here are two types of Democrats that we鈥檝e seen emerge in the wake of Trump,鈥� she said. 鈥淭he bulk of those are coming from the liberal Democratic end, but there are pockets of more conservative-leaning Democrats that have the potential to anchor the party at the center and shape the party鈥檚 ideological course in the years to come.鈥�
]]>“I don’t know how law enforcement could really rein in anybody in a situation like this,” he said. “It all depends on the nature of the language used to inspire people to send those nasty emails. It could fall under some general incitement principals, but then the second part of incitement is imminent lawless action, and I’m not sure we have that here.”
]]>“I think we are going to see, within the next year or two, a real attempt to show a no-holds-barred Trump family, and I don’t know exactly what that means,” he said, “but something that really does address the specifics of what the news keeps showing us as the Trump supporter. As people are looking at, ‘How are we going to top “Roseanne?’ I think that’s probably what they’re looking to do. How that’s going to be executed could be very dicey.”
]]>“This particular episode is going to play right into their ability to get people on their side because Trump is seen as the aggressor,鈥� she said of Xi鈥檚 government.
