Biden administration is moving toward a narrower student loan relief

The Biden administration is moving toward a narrower student loan relief plan that would target specific groups of borrowers those with soaring interest, for example rather than a sweeping plan like the one the Supreme Court rejected in June. The Education Department on Monday released a draft of new federal rules paving the way for a second attempt at student loan relief. The proposal targets groups that are seen as especially vulnerable, focusing on those who owe so much, or make so little income, that they otherwise may never repay their loans. Though full details are likely months away, the department says it wants to cancel some or all student debt for: borrowers whose balances exceed what they originally owed; those who have loans that entered repayment 25 or more years ago; those who used loans to attend career-training programs that led to unreasonable debt loads or insufficient earnings; those who are eligible for other loan forgiveness programs but did not apply.

Donald Trump calls on US Supreme Court to 'intercede' in legal fights

A day after being arraigned for the third time, former United States President Donald Trump on Friday called on the Supreme Court to "intercede" citing the time and cost spent on several legal battles, CNN reported."My political opponent has hit me with a barrage of weak lawsuits, including DA, AG, and others, which require massive amounts of my time and money to adjudicate," Trump stated on Truth Social."Resources that would have gone into Ads and Rallies, will now have to be spent fighting these Radical Left Thugs in numerous courts throughout the Country. I am leading in all Polls, including against Crooked Joe, but this is not a level playing field. It is Election Interference, & the Supreme Court must intercede," Trump added.On Friday, Trump also pleaded not guilty to the new charges special counsel Jack Smith brought against him in the case alleging mishandling of classified documents from his time in the White House, CNN reported.The filing marked the second time in 24 ...

Unthinkable: Biden on court's decision to strike down student relief plan

The US Supreme Court dealt a blow to Joe Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan on Friday

Biden offers alternative student debt plan to remove instant default threat

President Joe Biden is offering an alternative student debt plan designed to ease borrowers' threat of default if they fall behind on their payments, after the Supreme Court struck down his original initiative. Biden on Friday blamed Republican opposition for triggering the Supreme Court's ruling and slammed the decision as wrong. The president said he will work under the authority of the Higher Education Act to begin a new programme that would begin loan repayment but remove the immediate threat of default. He said the plan would take longer but provide relief to millions of borrowers. The president earlier had insisted that this fight is not over after the Supreme Court struck down his USD 400 billion student loan forgiveness plan. He blamed Republicans' opposition, aiming to direct the ire of millions of borrowers towards them rather than his own party in next year's elections.

US Supreme Court blocks Biden's $430 billion student loan forgiveness

A sharply divided Supreme Court ruled Friday that the Biden administration overstepped its authority in trying to cancel or reduce student loans for millions of Americans. The 6-3 decision, with conservative justices in the majority, effectively killed the USD 400 billion plan, announced by President Joe Biden last year, and left borrowers on the hook for repayments that are expected to resume by late summer. The court held that the administration needs Congress' endorsement before undertaking so costly a program. The majority rejected arguments that a bipartisan 2003 law dealing with student loans provided the authority Biden claimed.

VP Kamala Harris rallies as high court eyes abortion pill rules in country

Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday urged Americans to take action during a critical point in our nation's history as thousands of protesters demonstrated across the country against new limits to abortion rights making their way through the courts. Saturday's nationwide rallies were sparked by the U.S. Supreme Court's actions the day before, when the high court intervened to delay rule changes that would have limited the way the abortion drug mifepristone could be used and dispensed. The limits were paused while the court reviews the case more thoroughly. Harris made a surprise stop in Los Angeles at one of the rallies, where she called the latest upheaval over abortion rights a further incursion by conservatives into myriad fundamental rights many Americans thought they had. And so this is a moment that history will show required each of us based on our collective love of our country to stand up, and fight for, and protect our ideals. That's what this moment is, she said ...
