U.S. President Joe Biden plans to announce on Wednesday that his administration has approved an additional $9 billion in student debt relief for 125,000 borrowers, the White House said.

Biden has said he will pursue new measures to provide student loan relief to Americans after the Supreme Court blocked his plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.

The president’s announcement, planned for 1 p.m. EDT at the White House, will bring the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden administration to $127 billion for nearly 3.6 million Americans, the White House said.

    Damn man, he didn’t say you were stupid, he just said he disagreed with you. Don’t need to sling mud for a different opinion.

      He did insult someone who has likely accomplished 1000x more with his life, Dr. West. So no, I’m not the one slinging mud here.

        Someone saying a public figure with little experience in politics is doing poorly at their third party run is not mudslinging.

        This is one of the many reasons that third parties aren’t taken seriously. If party members clutch their pearls at critical observations of their candidate, they don’t stand a chance in hell.

        Besides, Greens are anti science sensationalists. Or have they admitted fault yet on being anti nuclear, anti GMO, ambivalent on vaccines, and entertaining pseudoscience like wifi causing cancer? I don’t need Republican lite, grifting populists.

          Except he does have political experience and had been involved in many campaigns. You just won’t bother to learn or even read his campaign website.

          The greens change like any other party depending on leadership. Go read their website and see that you’re mistaken on those views. Many have changed over time since I first read them over ten years ago.
