Wake Up, Yahoos! DREAM Hasn't Died.

But a) a "proprietary vote simulation and prediction engine" called WhipCast gives DREAM a 33 percent chance of passage; b) Microsoft and other tech companies are pushing for it; and c) even more worrisome, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's spokesman gives a shockingly nonchalant answer when asked if stopping DREAM is a priority:
