Speaking at a White House awards ceremony for federal workers, Mr. Biden was asked whether he has finished his proposal to wipe up massive amounts of student debt for borrowers. “Not yet,” he responded. Mr. Biden is said to be mulling the forgiveness of a minimum of $10,000 in student loan debt per borrower through an executive order. The plan represents a massive shift from his earlier more cautious approach he has taken since entering the White House.

The Center, New York City’s LGBTQ community center, is celebrating the life and legacy of Keith Haring by renaming a wing after the beloved late artist. On Wednesday, on what would’ve been Haring’s 64th birthday, The Center announced a new name for its annex building: the Keith Haring Community Wing.

During his short-lived career, Haring used his unmistakable images of colorful, almost child-like images as a powerful tool

A sledgehammer-wielding robber smashed through a Bronx jewelry store’s front window, snatching $20,000 in chains and pendants, surveillance video obtained by The Post Wednesday shows. Screams can be heard on the video from inside M & NP Jewelers on White Plains Road during the smash and grab around 4 p.m. Sunday–before a roll-down gate nearly ensnares the culprit.

The first-year teacher posted their creations to her classroom door before administrators told her to take them down.
A brawler in a hooded sweatshirt knocked an elderly man to the ground, threw liquid at him and then kicked him in the face in a broad-daylight Bronx attack, police said Tuesday.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention paid for location data harvested from millions of cell phones to track compliance with COVID-19 lockdown measures, according to a new report. The CDC paid $420,000 for a year of access to the cell phone location data from the data brokerage SafeGraph, according to documents reported by Vice News on Tuesday. The data was aggregated, meaning that it was intended to show general trends rather than the movements of specific phones, however the move still set off alarm bells with some privacy advocates.(Snip)According to Vice, the documents show that the CDC planned to use the data to analyze compliance
Amazon will reimburse its staff in the US up to $4,000 in travel expenses annually for a range of non-life threatening medical treatments, including elective abortions, as conservative-led laws look to block access in many states.

Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide. In a message sent to Amazon employees on Monday, obtained by Reuters, Amazon told its employees that the new work benefit would apply to an employee if an operation could not be done within 100 miles of their home

Rep. Ilhan Omar is demanding the Supreme Court add more justices to override its conservative majority while other Democrats are renewing their calls to nix the filibuster and codify the right to an abortion after a leaked preliminary opinion revealed the court is looking to overturn Roe v. Wade. 'Overturning Roe would put the lives of women across the country at risk. It would fly in the face of decades of precedent and the overwhelming majority of public opinion. And they will not stop here. Expand the court,' the Minnesota Democrat said on Twitter. 'Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land

New York—Broadway theaters are ending the policy of requiring customers to show proof of vaccination. The Broadway League says in a statement that beginning Sunday, the owners and operators of all 41 Broadway theaters are extending the mask requirement at least through the end of May but many will no longer check for vaccination status.

Portland Public Schools plans to provide free menstrual products in both the boys’ and girls’ bathrooms as districts move to comply with an Oregon state law for “menstruating students.” “Starting next year (2022-23), products will be available in all restrooms (male, female, and all-gender) in every PPS building where education occurs,” said the April 19 memo titled “Update on PPS Implementation of Menstrual Dignity Act.” Last year, Democratic Gov. Kate Brown signed HR 3294, which requires K-12 public schools and universities to stock bathrooms with tampons and sanitary pads at no cost to students to give them the “opportunity for safe, dignified self-care.”

Wade, saying he believes that "a woman’s right to choose is fundamental," and arguing that "basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned," while saying any potential final decision on the case by the high court should push voters "to elect pro-choice officials" during November’s midterm elections.The high court is poised to overturn Roe v.

ROME—Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Pope Francis has floated the idea that he wants to take a trip to Kyiv to try to broker a ceasefire. But now he says he would prefer to go to Moscow to try to talk some sense into Vladimir Putin, who he has not outwardly condemned in the now nearly 3-month-old war and only did so lightly in a lengthy interview with an Italian newspaper. “I feel that before going to Kyiv I must go to Moscow,” he told Corriere Della Sera in an interview that ran on Tuesday.

The leaked draft of the Supreme Court’s decision to end Roe v. Wade has caused uproar on the Left — and it’s only going to get worse. Get ready for an epidemic of disgusting, hysterical, socioathic behavior the likes of which you’ve perhaps never seen. Swallwell’s comment is particularly stupid, as two sitting justices are in interacial marriages. Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, have dusted off their aloof, cool, intellectual act to bless us with their thoughts on the recent development. The former president tweeted out a document entitled

Just like his secret plan to eliminate the Coronavirus, Brandon was just blowing smoke. A Republican president of course would (rightly) be hammered about that in the press, but since our government controls the press and wants the destruction Brandon brings, here we are. And because most Democrats have their thoughts and opinions provided by the MSM, few have any problem with him. (Compare and contrast with the very vocal "I am the resistance!" pussyhat crowds that opposed President Trump for 4 years.)
