☆ A Democratic lawmaker who voted to block Biden's broad student-loan forgiveness doubled down on his opposition and said borrowers can 'pay back their loans just like working class people'

Rep. Jared Golden was one of just two Democrats who voted with the GOP to block Biden's student-debt relief in June. The Blue Dog Coalition, which Golden co-chairs, recently received a maximum contribution from student lender Sallie Mae. But Golden wrote in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, that Sallie Mae's contribution did not sway his beliefs on student-debt relief. The Education Department is currently in the process of finalizing a new student-debt relief plan using the Higher Education Act. Meanwhile, other Democratic lawmakers are continuing to push for relief for borrowers — especially with the student-loan payment pause ending in September.

☆ Midterm elections push House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to step down. Biden should pay attention.

As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said herself, quoting scripture on the House floor Thursday: “For everything there is a season — a time for every purpose under heaven.”For Pelosi, the season to be leader of House Democrats has passed. She’ll continue to represent San Francisco while serving as an invaluable source of guidance and resolve for the next generation of House Democratic leaders. At 82, Pelosi is a historic figure, of course: the first female House speaker and one of the strongest speakers, if not the strongest, that America has ever seen. Yet as a minority in a GOP-run House, Democrats won’t be able to rack up accomplishments like they did in the last two years. There were calls for Pelosi to step aside in 2010 when Democrats lost 60 House seats — a true wipeout.
