Kevin Lamarque | ReutersThe Biden administration is sending emails to tens of millions of borrowers this week about its new plans to cancel student debt. The Department of Education estimates that at least 25 million borrowers could qualify. The same day the Supreme Court blocked President Joe Biden's first attempt at sweeping student loan forgiveness, Biden announced that the White House would try to deliver the relief another way. People who are already eligible for student loan forgiveness under one of the government's existing programs but just haven't yet applied. The Education Department is expected to publish its final rule on the debt relief sometime in October.

But I understand the appeal of calling out what looks like hypocrisy when we see it, especially now. To give hypocrisy a pass, one might argue, is to slide down a slope toward having no principles at all.

Two federal judges in Kansas and Missouri on Monday at the urging of several Republican-led states blocked President Joe Biden's administration from further implementing a new student debt relief plan that lowers payments. The Biden administration is gearing up to try to forgive the student debt of tens of millions of Americans again, after the Supreme Court struck down its first effort last year. In the coming days, the U.S. Department of Education will begin emailing borrowers who may be eligible for the wide-scale loan cancellation, the department said on Wednesday. The same day the Supreme Court blocked President Joe Biden's first attempt at sweeping student loan forgiveness, he announced that the White House would try to deliver the relief another way. For his Plan B, he has directed the Education Department to pursue the regulatory process, which experts say should increase its chances of surviving the inevitable next round of legal challenges.

The U.S. Department of Education is placing federal student loan borrowers enrolled in the Biden administration's new income-driven repayment plan, known as SAVE, into an administrative forbearance. The SAVE plan has been a magnet for controversy ever since the Biden administration rolled out the program in the summer of 2023, describing it as "the most affordable student loan plan ever." Borrowers can explore their other repayment plan options, "but that would lead to a higher monthly loan payment," Kantrowitz said. "By staying in the SAVE plan, the borrower doesn't lose anything other than time," he added.

A tanker carrying 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel capsized off the coast of Philippines, leading to one casualty and a vast oil spill, local authorities said Thursday. The vessel had departed Limay and was bound for fellow Philippines' port of Iloilo, according to data from MarineTraffic.com. The Coast Guard said it is now addressing the oil spill and intends to finish siphoning the fuel from the sunken tanker to prevent further spreading within seven days. The Philippine Coast Guard Aviation Command separately alerted that it had deployed air assets on a search-and-rescue mission to the sunken tanker. The Philippines-flagged tanker MT Princess Empress suffered engine troubles in rough seas and sank with its load of 800,000 litres of industrial fuel oil off the central Oriental Mindoro province.

The couple left Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia on June 11 en route to the Azores, a group of Portuguese islands in the mid-Atlantic, around 2,000 miles away. It is not clear why the couple abandoned the Theros and got into a lifeboat.

The bodies of two sailors who planned to sail from Nova Scotia to the Azores using green energy were found washed ashore at a Canadian national park this month, four weeks after they were last seen, the authorities said. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police responded to calls on July 10 that a 10-foot inflatable lifeboat containing human remains had been discovered on Sable Island National Park Reserve, according to a news release from the agency. The authorities did not identify the remains, but said they believed they were those of a 70-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman from British Columbia. A Facebook post by the man’s son, James Clibbery, later identified them as James Brett Clibbery and his wife, Sarah Justine Packwood, who had left Halifax Harbor in Nova Scotia on June 11 bound for the Azores. “The past few days have been very hard,” the younger Mr. Clibbery said in the post, adding that DNA tests would be carried out to confirm their identities.

US President Joe Biden speaks about student loan debt relief at Madison Area Technical College in Madison, Wisconsin, April 8, 2024. The U.S. Department of Education says it will pause millions of student loan borrowers' payments while it defends its relief plan against legal challenges. Borrowers enrolled in the Biden administration's new repayment plan, known as SAVE, will be placed "in an interest-free forbearance," according to a statement from U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. "It's shameful that politically motivated lawsuits waged by Republican elected officials are once again standing in the way of lower payments for millions of borrowers," Cardona said. Before the legal challenges, the Education Department had already forgiven $5.5 billion in student debt for 414,000 borrowers through the SAVE Plan.

So far, around 8 million borrowers have signed up for SAVE, according to the White House.

US President Joe Biden speaks about student loan relief at Madison College in Madison, Wisconsin, on April 8, 2024. The Biden administration announced it will cancel $1.2 billion in student debt for 35,000 workers, as a result of its recent fixes to a popular debt relief program for public service workers. But the program has been plagued by problems, making people who qualified for the relief a rarity in the past. Under the Biden administration, the U.S. Department of Education gave borrowers a second chance to qualify, as long as they'd been making payments on their loans and working for an eligible employer. The Biden administration has so far cleared $69.2 billion in student debt for 946,000 borrowers under PSLF, according to the Education Department.
