* Many articles refer to people with criminal records as "ex-offenders" or "offenders". While we appreciate all the positive press these issues receive, we are working to use other terms to describe our clients that do not carry such negative connotations. These terms include "people with criminal records" or "people reentering society".

THE BIG STORY, BY E.J. DIONNE
It turns out that there is at least one question on which Mitt Romney is not a flip-flopper: He has a utopian view of what an unfettered, lightly taxed market economy can achieve.

VEEPSTAKES
Marco Rubio gave a major foreign policy address at the Brookings Institution Wednesday, and near the end of his remarks, the Florida senator -- who has mocked President Obama on multiple occasions for using a teleprompter -- had to pause after accidentally misplacing the last page. And that's only the least of his problems. READ MORE

THE GREEDIEST CASES
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the president bluntly explains why his White House hasn't done more to address global warming -- much less pass a comprehensive cap-and-trade bill -- and how his opponents have stymied change. READ MORE

SOCIAL SECURITY AND YOU
The latest news stories focused on a recent report issued by Social Security's Board of Trustees, based on data compiled by Social Security Administration actuaries, that the program's trust funds will run dry in 2033, three years earlier than the estimate in last year's report.

My message to all concerned is to take a deep breath and calm down. READ MORE

FEATURED COLUMN: LEONARD PITTS JR.
John Raese is feeling persecuted.

Raese, a West Virginia businessman running for the U.S. Senate, declared in a recent speech that he doesn't want the government telling him what to do "because I'm an American." Specifically, he lamented that he is required to place a "huge sticker" on his buildings declaring them smoke-free environments.

"Remember Hitler used to put Star of David on everybody's lapel, remember that? Same thing," he said. READ MORE

FEATURED COLUMN: TIM PRICE
Politicians are big, fat liars. It's a belief so deeply ingrained in American culture that we're taught to revere George Washington as the one-of-a-kind exception who narced himself out for chopping down a cherry tree, and even that story is completely made up. But it's not necessarily true that politicians produce lies the way plants produce oxygen. READ MORE

Domestic violence is not a partisan issue. We need a system that encourages victims to come forward. Not a system that discourages them from seeking help, or one that intimidates victims into staying in the shadows.
Rep. Hansen Clarke: Trillion Dollar Crisis: The Case for Student Loan Forgiveness
For at least a century, this country has run on an implied social contract that says "if you study hard and work hard, you'll have a steady middle-class income and a stable career." Let's reinstate that contract and put student borrowers back on higher ground.
Robert Reich: How Europe's Double Dip Could Become America's
What's the problem with Europe? Don't blame it on the so-called "debt crisis." There was no debt crisis in Britain, for example, which is now experiencing its first double-dip recession since the 1970s. Blame it on austerity economics.
