President Biden: student loan borrowers enrolled in SAVE “who took out less than $12,000 in loans and have been in repayment for 10 years will get their remaining student debt cancelled immediately" ( www.whitehouse.gov )

“Borrowers who may be eligible for early debt cancellation to sign up for the SAVE plan at studentaid.gov,” a statement by the White House says.

They’re doing it in small chunks to make it harder for the Republican’s to block it. I think the total is above $120 billion forgiven at this point out of the $400 billion target. Couple hundred million here, few billion there. They’ve been doing a lot better than most people understand at getting it done as best they can.

I think it’s just a bunch of people reading through all of the laws and looking for any way it can be forgiven without congress, and without the SCOTUS.

The Texas National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, and is denying U.S. Border Patrol agents access to the area ( www.rollingstone.com )

The Biden administration sued Texas last week over recent legislation signed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott signing that grants local law enforcement the authority to arrest migrants and allow judges to order deportations. The administration argues that the law goes against constitutional mandates granting the federal government...

On Thursday, Abbott was subject to widespread criticism when asked where the line was for him in terms of border enforcement mechanisms he suggested the only reason Texas is not shooting migrants crossing the border “is because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”

uhhh what?

Sorry, no, absolutely not.

This should be a federal thing. No reasonable person should be debating if a person should receive life saving care or not.

Reasonable people can disagree with little things, like how high a fence can be in your front yard, not if someone should die because other people don’t have a modest grasp of high school biology.

The big priorities for Biden seem to be making up ways to get more of our money dumped into Ukraine

We are not sending pallets of cash to Ukraine. The money is buying arms and equipment that is being sent to Ukraine. The arms and equipment are produced here, in the US. The VAST majority of the money is going into the US economy. It’s literally creating good paying jobs here in the US.

Further, the latest batch of Ukraine spending was funded by cutting funds to the IRS, so we’re not only losing money now, but in the future too.

Yeah, blame the republicans for that one.

No, it isn’t, because our government doesn’t mandate a living wage nor regulate the prices of war materials,

You may not like what is being produced, but the jobs producing arms are good paying.

and in fact, there’s been extensive reporting on price gouging in the war industry.

For sure. It never should have been privatized.

Home owners insurance is going to pay out and sue the ever-loving crap out of everyone to recoup.

House Committee issues stern warning to SEC chair Gary Gensler over continuing to "obstruct congressional oversight" ( oversight.house.gov )

James Comer, chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, accuses Gensler of not revealing certain documents and information on the SEC’s involvement in the development of European social engineering initiatives disguised as disclosure and due diligence directives being developed by the European Union (EU)....

There seems to be a concerted effort to try and smear liberals/democrats here lately. Attention grabbing headline that not untrue, just purposefully distorting the reality by conveniently leaving out important information.

There was a post yesterday that has since disappeared titled “California governor Newsom vetoes bill that would have set a $35 cap for insulin”, which conveniently left out that it was a copay cap, not a real cap making it a worthless token gesture.

Question is will any colleges of value accept such an exam?

Yes, and any college that does should be a giant red flag to prospective students. (edit missread you)

No college of value will accept and any college that does should be a giant red flag to prospective students.

I really hope the young people in Florida are paying attention to just how fucked their prospects are due to republican governance.

Someone with more experience can correct me, but I doubt you’ll get enough energy transfer via the radiator in the house.

I think you’d get a lot more mileage out of an attic fan. Keeping the attic cooler during the day will slow the heating of the house.

You may also want to take a look at better roofing materials. There are roofing materials designed to reflect more of the sun’s energy as well as radiate what heat does get absorbed better than others.
