Three friends in Cobb County Georgia have not received their ballots yet

That's really suspicious to me considering they all have different addresses. The last day of early voting before election day is this Friday. I asked them to call the Georgia voters' hotline ASAP. The number is 1-888-730-5816 for anyone else in the same boat. I voted in person so I'm not sure if I would have met the same fate. I didn't trust kemp enough to do that this time around.

Interesting email I received from the US Department of Education

Your Student Loan Debt Relief Application Has Been Approved


So right away I'm intrigued because I had already heard that the forgiveness measures had been squashed.

This email provides you with an update on the one-time Student Loan Debt Relief plan that President Biden and I announced on August 24th.

We received your application or have the income information to process you for loan relief. You do not need to take any further action at this time.

Unfortunately, a number of lawsuits have been filed challenging the program, which have blocked our ability to discharge your debt at present. We believe strongly that the lawsuits are meritless, and the Department of Justice has appealed on our behalf. We will keep your application information and will continue our review of your eligibility if and when we prevail in court. We will update you when there are new developments.

The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to helping borrowers as they recover from the pandemic.

Education is a great equalizer, and we will never stop fighting for you!


In Service,

Miguel A. Cardona

U.S. Secretary of Education


Well done but they should have gone further in singling out republicans specifically. Vague references to "lawsuits" allow republicans to continue to gaslight and lie to Americans. Start calling them out by name, dammit!!
