The President can still cancel student loan debt
The Supreme Court just overturned President Biden’s plan to cancel student loan debt.
But the fight is not over. The President can still cancel student loan debt — and we need your help to push him to act, NOW, before payments resume in the Fall.
Without debt cancellation, the restart of payments in September will result in financial disaster. Before the pause, 9 million borrowers were in default, and 1 in 4 borrowers were behind on payments. President Biden needs to use every authority he has to stop this economic catastrophe, as soon as possible.
Congress already gave the President the authority to cancel student debt when it passed the Higher Education Act. There’s a clear precedent. In 2022, the Department of Education was able to cancel at least $6 billion in debt for Americans who were defrauded by for-profit universities.
Sign our letter today to ask President Biden to provide student loan relief NOW, before payments resume in the Fall.
In solidarity,
Team Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Heatwave can have major impact on pets
As the Bay area experiences near record-breaking heat, some pet owners are doing things a little differently to protect their animals.
At Dale Mabry Animal Hospital, Dr. Hansel Leavengood said there are some things you should not be doing with your dog in the heat:
“Things to avoid; walking on hot pavement, never jog with your dog when it’s hot outside, never ride your bike with a dog when it’s hot outside.”
Dr. Leavengood said the heat can be fatal to dogs and if you notice your pet is having problems, you need to take action quickly.
“Cool water, not ice water, and a fan — get them started on that, but get to the emergency ASAP.”
If you don’t take action, he said your pet may quickly experience severe health issues.
“The central nervous system shuts down, the kidneys shut down, the liver shuts down, the heart has problems,” Dr. Leavengood warned.

DeSantis pushes to delay Disney trial until after 2024 election
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s attorneys are attempting to delay a trial in the governor’s long-standing political and legal fight with Disney.
The GOP presidential candidate’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the case this week, and they want a judge to delay the trial until August 2025 if it is not dismissed. If granted, that would move the Disney political football well beyond the 2024 presidential election.
