President Biden is set to announce a student loan debt forgiveness of 10,000 dollars for Americans who make under 125,000 dollars per year and an extension to the payment pause of federal student loans through the end of the year. NBC News’ Ali Vitali has the details.
What about us responsible people that don’t have student loans?! Why don’t we get any money???
Republicans already out there lying their asses off about Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan.

The GOP have no solutions to help Americans, let alone the middle class. They just have caterwauling and seditious conspiracy to end democracy and sabotaging govt. They don’t have any ideas that would help all Americans.

there’s a case to be made that one of the reasons tuition has skyrocketed is because it’s relatively easy to borrow money for the costs. Law school is notorious for this. In 1980, you could make it through law school with relatively little debt. Now, even a fourth-tier program is 50-60k a year. And of course, if you go to the fourth-tier, you have way less chance of being some place with a strong civic sense of providing financial assistance to the student body. I got offered a spot—without applying—at some crummy law school in Brooklyn. “You don’t pay a thing!” Yes, you don’t pay a thing for the first year. Then, grades come in. If you’re outside the top 10 percent, you suddenly discover that you’re paying your own freight from that time forward. And because you are at a fourth-tier law school, when you’re an L3, trying desperately to land an interview with a big box firm, or land a coveted gig as a law clerk, you’re shit out of luck.

Totally sounds like him.
The fact that he had these documents in his possession meant that they were relevant to some policy decision or foreign activity during his administration. It’s not as though Obama left documents lying around when he vacated the premises that Trump gathered for his own use. Or maybe these were high value documents that certain foreign leaders requested (MBS? Putin? Erdogan?) that could identify American assets in hostile territory. A multitude of other possibilities for why he would have obtained them — none of the reasons are due to their accidentally showing up in the WH.

i dont know that there’s only one good way how to attack this.
10 or 20k is either a lot, or for the 250k art history major - insignificant enough not to matter.
then there’s the 125k income ceiling - should limit some of who doesn’t “need” it desperately.

DeSantis has been luring absolute morons to Florida since the covid restrictions hit, and driving sane people out of the state. I have little hope for Florida at this time. I’ll revise that opinion if Charlie Crist wins and sets a sane tone for the state.
I have 2 kids in Middle School here and we are already planning a longer term bail out of Florida as soon as they leave high school. However if the political situation worsens here we will likely move up the timetable to flee to California before then despite protests. Knowing I am living amongst a majority of outright proud racists with the Klan hoods finally off that have control over local and state governments that I pay taxes towards will make me want to vomit every day.
The good news is the real estate market here in Florida the past few years has provided the financial opportunity to make the once unobtainable California market possible for us. Rich MAGA elite and soulless housing corporations from all over the South have flocked here to the Panhandle to be with their own kind- rich and racist. I’ll take that money when it comes time to sell and move to a state that at least a glimmer left of reason, enlightenment and learning.

Ditto here; I had Social Security benefits to cover my undergrad degree, BEOG funding and a TA position to cover grad school - at a time when in-state tuition was like $300 per semester, something you could cover with a part-time and/or summer job.
No debt; parents paid for undergrad (I went to UMD as a state resident, so fairly reasonable in cost) and my advisor paid for my Ph.D.
My younger daughter became a speech therapist. A Masters degree is required.
Her work improves the lives of lots of kids. She loves her job (excluding idiot administrators).
It cost her over $160K to get the necessary degrees from good schools.
And FYI, teacher pay sucks.
My wife and I paid for my degrees.

These Trees Are Spreading North in Alaska. That’s Not Good
White spruce trees are expanding into the Arctic tundra with stunning speed, with potentially serious consequences both for the region and the world.
wired.com
Thawing permafrost is the aspect of Arctic greening that concerns scientists the most. These frozen soils are loaded with dead organic matter that hasn’t fully decomposed, but will decay rapidly once it thaws. Microbes then begin munching on the material, spewing both carbon dioxide and methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas. Permafrost is now thawing so fast that Arctic land is collapsing, gouging great big holes in the landscape. “The implications are significant,” says Goetz. “It always comes around to the permafrost in the end, because that’s the big carbon reservoir that’s being mobilized.”
re: #1 Eclectic Cyborg
What about us responsible people that don’t have student loans?! Why don’t we get any money???
Give people who had no college at all $10,000. /s
Already the Republican destruction of education by excessive fees was beginning by the time I was old enough for college. Being poor and the eldest of a single mother, I was the first person in my family in generations not to go to college, because the price was already out-of-reach. My sister tried to go to Columbia for veterinary school, but was out after one year because she exhausted her money. Only one cousin in my generation has earned a degree (registered nurse) because her church paid for it.
My wife started at the University of Florida at age sixteen for a computer science degree in 1979, then DeVry (the actual campus) for a business administration degree. (There was a photo in the Gainesville newspaper of her as the youngest and an eighty-something woman as the oldest graduates from UF—the elderly woman earned a degree in Fine Arts-Music). We only paid my wife’s school debt off several years into our marriage after 2007.
I also paid my first wife’s debt off for her degree in Fine Arts-Music from the University of South Florida.
On the putative $250,000 Art History degree from Harvard above and saying “you should know what fields you can make money in,” the overwhelming majority of student debt in this country is held by medical or law students (two fields where you can allegedly make scads of money, as long as you don’t practice in rural areas, which is why we have a shortage of doctors and lawyers).
That whole argument “you should know what you can make money in” belies three issues.
The first is that treats education as simply creating cogs for the capitalist machine. The world needs art history majors (and fine arts in general) too.
The second is a useful degree (to capitalists) when you start may not be useful when you finish, or later.
The third is even “useful” degrees (like library science or education) will fall to the relentless barbarian cultures wars which have always been endless on the right (book bannings and burnings, firing teachers for sharing the QR code to a library or not teaching the fascist-approved version of race history or saying “gay).
Conservatives will destroy an entire society (and there are countless examples of that in history) rather than let anyone have an iota of power in an “unapproved” area.

What’s most vulnerable in a unexpected wave election are Gerrymandered House seats that are supposed to be just red enough to ensure GOP victory.
Not enough to flip my R+56 district though unless voters here get really mad. (If they’re mad enough to flip my district, that would flip every district.)
On the other hand, my representative is actually having to come to the district and actually campaign, where he gets challenged at every stop, because though the national party won’t assist “hopeless” seats (thus ceding them and always making them hopeless), the state party is leaving no seat unchallenged and making the GOP defend them all.

I can see these things working well in Ukraine. But at some point a sheriff is going to decide he needs one to keep kids from filming his deputies, and the deputies are going to wind up zapping each other in the testicles with it.
So you just stumble across things….

For me it helps quite a bit, but it’s imperfect, and the nuisance remains. Still, it would be much worse for me without Lactaid.

With the fight over abortion rights looming large over the midterm elections, voters in Florida ousted two prominent anti-abortion elected officials in separate races on Tuesday.Florida Rep. James Bush lost his reelection bid, a notable defeat for the sole Democrat in the state legislature who voted on a 15-week abortion ban and the anti-LGBTQ “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
His opponent, 37-year-old lawyer Ashley Gantt, ran on a platform focused on affordable housing, public education, and criminal justice reform. Gantt, an attorney and former public school teacher, has criticized Bush for siding with Republicans on the abortion ban and the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which bars “classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity.”
“As a Black woman, I was offended when he voted to restrict my rights, our right to make decisions over our bodies,” she said last week. “As a former teacher, I was insulted that he voted to inject Tallahassee extremism into our classrooms and deny local control over our school systems.”
Gantt and Bush were the only two candidates vying for District 109. As the winner of the Democratic primary, Gantt is now the representative-elect.
Bush was first elected to the Florida state House in 1992. He was elected again in 2008, then in 2018. His penchant for supporting Republican-sponsored bills drew the ire of his fellow Democrats, some of whom publicly voiced their support for Gantt in the election; Democratic state Sen. Jason Pizzo recently accused him of “voting against Democratic values and kissing the Governor’s ass - all day, everyday.”
Florida voters also ousted Jared Smith, an incumbent circuit judge for Hillsborough County who gained notoriety for rejecting a teenager’s request for an abortion because her grades were low.
