No one knows for sure which amendments will reach the Senate floor for debate, but one can expect several key amendments on the Department of Defense’s (DOD) abortion travel policy. That policy was targeted in the House version of the NDAA that passed last Friday covering “woke” policies such as diversity, equity, and inclusion; critical race theory; and transgender healthcare.

The Biden administration announced Friday they will automatically discharge $39 billion in Federal student loans for 804,000 borrowers in the coming weeks as the Department of Education (DOE) implements fixes to address “historical failures” in the loan program. According to the DOE press release, the fixes implemented by the administration will ensure all borrowers have an accurate count of the number of monthly payments that qualify toward forgiveness under income- driven repayment (IDR) plans. Eligible borrowers will receive the student loan debt forgiveness if “they have accumulated the equivalent of either 20 or 25 years of qualifying months.” Click for Full Text!

U.S. senator challenges Biden to fly pro-life flag after Pride celebration

Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska is calling on President Joe Biden and his federal agencies to show inclusivity toward pro-life Americans by flying pro-life flags during October, which is Respect Life Month. The Nebraska senator sent 20 letters to Biden administration agencies with this request, first obtained by The Daily Signal. The White House and the agencies are very unlikely to fly flags honoring the unborn, but since Biden heads the most pro-abortion administration in United States history, the move highlights the one-sidedness of the administration’s much- criticized decision to fly the Pride flag on federal buildings, including the White House, throughout the month ...

The Republican attorney general of Kansas sued Friday to force the state to be among a few that prohibit transgender people from changing their sex on their driver's licenses and to repudiate the Democratic governor, who continues to allow such changes despite a new anti-trans law. Attorney General Kris Kobach filed his lawsuit in state court, seeking an order to stop Gov. Laura Kelly, and agencies under her control, from letting transgender people change their licenses. Kobach contends a law that took effect Saturday prevents such changes and requires the state to reverse any previous changes in its records. Click for Full Text!

The California Reparations Task Force's final report has recommended the termination of all interest on unpaid child support payments if the debtor is Black, The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday. The report criticized "discriminatory laws" for having "torn African American families apart," and for resulting in a larger portion of Black fathers owing child support. In addition, the 10% interest applied to unpaid child support debt further hinders the ability of Black fathers to further their own educations while paying off their debts. Click for Full Text!
