Handing the Biden administration an unexpected win amidst a legal back-and-forth, a court over the weekend agreed to let the Education Department continue implementing the final phases of a student loan repayment plan that will lower people’s monthly bills.

This comes after the department had already begun the process to put 3 million borrowers into a payment pause, a move officials said was necessary to comply with the court’s initial ruling last week to halt the payment cuts. But because of the latest ruling, borrowers enrolled in the SAVE Plan will now go forward with payments at their new rates beginning in July and August, officials said.

Full disclosure: I took out temporarily in the headline because it isn't true that we know it's temporary.

Please do not overlook the good Joe Biden is doing over his failure on Palestine.

Do you remember the bans on Muslims, the kids in cages and separating kids (especially girls) from their families (many still haven't been found), the bribes taken, letting the Erdegon's goons rough up protestors, etc., etc. I seriously could go on for paragraphs and this all happened in our country. Our options are either an evil POS or a guy who caters to one of our allies way too much.

Well said, that's why I support both Biden and BDS/No Thanks.

Great, now please take action on the deteriorating democracy that needs more urgent attention.
