Fringe conspiracy theory has now become mainstream
Far right White supremacist groups, conservative media personalities and some Republicans in Congress are trying to inflame nativist feelings among conservative Whites by warning that liberals want immigrants to “replace” native-born Americans.
CNN’s Sunlen Serfaty reports elements of replacement theory appear to have motivated some of the most heinous recent mass murders.
House Republican leaders have lambasted President Joe Biden for his perceived inaction in enforcing existing measures against Iran. Representative Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, voiced concerns over the administration's policies allegedly facilitating Iran's oil sales, which fund terrorism. The Biden administration faces mounting pressure to deter future attacks without exacerbating regional tensions or antagonising China, a major buyer of Iranian oil.

Biden Cancels Over $7 Billion in Student Debt , for More Than 277,000 Borrowers.
On April 12, President Joe Biden said that over 277,000 borrowers in more than
40 states will have $7.4 billion in student
loan debt wiped out, 'The Hill' reports. .
To date, the Biden administration has canceled $153 billion in student loan debt. .
From day one of my administration,
I promised to fight to ensure higher
education is a ticket to the middle class,
not a barrier to opportunity. , President Joe Biden, via statement.
I will never stop working to cancel
student debt – no matter how
many times Republican elected
officials try to stop us, President Joe Biden, via statement.
'The Hill' reports that Biden's loan forgiveness has largely been aimed at helping
"public service workers, those on IDR plans," .
people who've been defrauded by educational institutions and those with disabilities. .
Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, issued a statement in response to Biden's actions. .
The administration is tone deaf.
There’s no other way to put it, Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
We know that instead of doing its
job the administration focused
time, energy, and resources on
its illegal student loan scheme. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
And that has been frustrating, especially
since it has jeopardized the academic
journey of millions of students, Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
But what is absolutely maddening is
that the administration is STILL not
doing its job and instead focusing on
its student loan shenanigans. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, , “We know what Republicans are going to do; we can’t
stop them from that. But it’s also not going to stop the president from acting and taking action, like he is today.”

the economy have dipped in the past few

hikes could still be on the way if the central
bank's efforts to fight inflation stall.

Federal Benefit Helping , Low-Income Households , Afford Internet Coming to an End.
CNN reports that next month, low-income
Americans face a crisis that threatens millions
of households with economic distress.
The United States government says that
it can only pay about half of what it owes
on a popular federal benefits program.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announcement
represents the first tangible impact of Congress' failure
to extend the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
The pandemic-era benefit provides
monthly discounts on internet service
for over 23 million households in the U.S.
As a result of dwindling funds,
April will be the last month
households can receive full benefits. .
In May, ACP will only be able to
provide 46% of the normal benefit
payments before ending entirely in June.
The end of the program means that millions of
people will have to choose between paying
for internet, housing and food.
According to the FCC, Internet service providers (ISPs)
could decide to close the gap for millions of households
that will be impacted by the program coming to an end.
We encourage providers to
take efforts to keep consumers
connected at this critical time, FCC statement, via CNN.
The FCC went on to add that ISPs could offer discounts, low-cost
internet plans or take other measures to ensure that service is
not interrupted for millions of low-income Americans.

White House Issues New Rules , on How Government Can Use AI.
The policy was released by the White House on March 28, 'The Hill' reports. .
It is intended to reduce AI risks
within the government.
According to a White House memo, federal agencies must now appoint a chief AI officer, add safeguards and issue reports about how AI is being used. .
Those reports will also be made public, according to 'The Hill.'.
However, some AI uses, such as those
employed by the Department of Defense, do not require reports because they would be "inconsistent with applicable law and government policy.".
Agencies will have 60 days
to appoint a chief AI officer.
Safeguards to protect Americans' rights and safety must be implemented by December.
