The Story

If you're waiting on student loan forgiveness, you might not want to hold your breath.

Why's that?

The Supreme Court seems skeptical. Yesterday, it heard oral arguments in two cases challenging the Biden admin's student debt relief program. One case is from six Republican-led states who argue President Biden doesn't have the authority to cancel student loans. The second was from two people who didn't fully qualify for the relief program. Biden's debt relief plan would wipe out up to $20,000 in debt for more than 40 million people. However, the program's been on hold amid legal disputes, leaving millions of borrowers in the balance.

What did the justices say?

After more than three hours, some conservative justices appeared to focus on the six GOP-led states' arguments that the admin overstepped its executive authority. The justices were also worried about fairness, saying those who took out business loans wouldn't be granted the same type of forgiveness. Meanwhile, Justice Amy Coney Barrett seemed like the potential swing vote that millions of Americans could be hoping for. It comes as the US remains divided on the topic. One poll found that 50% of midterm voters supported debt relief, whereas 47% opposed it.

What happens now?

Many expect the justices to issue their ruling by late June. Until then, student loan repayment is still on pause until August...but so is the forgiveness program. In the meantime, the Supreme Court has two big questions to answer: do the challenges have legal standing, and is the Biden admin's plan legal and within the scope of the president's power? Experts say the program is facing an uphill battle, especially since the justices focused on executive power. Meanwhile, Biden has said he's "confident" he's got the authority to carry out the plan.

For some borrowers, forgiveness could wipe away their entire debt balance. For others, it could make a dent. But whatever the outcome will be, much of America remains divided as the cost of higher education continues to rise.

 
And Also...This

Who's got child care on their mind…

The Commerce Dept. Yesterday, the department announced any company that wants federal funding to build a semiconductor plan needs to provide affordable child care. Last year, President Biden signed a $280 billion package to pour federal dollars into manufacturing and researching semiconductors. During the pandemic, there was a shortage of semiconductors — which are essential to manufacturing cars, smartphones, and laptops. It was also a move to ramp up competition with China. Now, the Biden admin says companies who want a piece of the $39 billion pie to fund new plants need to provide child care for facility and construction workers. A record number of parents reported having to miss work because of child care.


Where officials opened up an investigation…

Iran. Since November, hundreds of Iranian school girls have been poisoned in a wave of attacks. Some of the victims reportedly smelled tangerines or chlorine before suffering from things like nausea, heart palpitations, or headaches. Officials apparently didn't take the poisoning claims seriously, but about 30 schools in at least three cities have been targeted. The string of attacks comes months after Iranians protested the country's lack of women's rights. Now, the prosecutor general has opened a criminal investigation. Gov officials say it's possible these attacks are "deliberate." Meanwhile, some parents have pulled their kids out of school amid concerns they could become ill.


What people are monitoring…

Greece. Last night, a train carrying about 350 passengers collided head-on with a freight train in northern Greece. At least 36 people died and more than 80 others were injured. The train had been traveling from Athens to the northern city of Thessaloniki. Multiple train cars derailed, with others catching on fire. Rescue operations are underway and the death toll is expected to rise. It's unclear what led to the collision. The incident is Greece's deadliest train crash in recent years.


What's sending out alerts…

Nissan. The company is recalling more than 700,000 Rogue and Rogue Sport SUVs after a defect in the keys had cars turn off when driven. Owners who drive Rogue Sport models between 2017 to 2022 and Rogue models from 2014 to 2020 are advised not to attach accessories to their car's key fob.
