President Joe Biden says his administration has approved 9 billion dollars in student debt relief—an action he says will provide aid for 125-thousand Americans. It’s part of what is so far nearly 127-billion dollars the Biden administration has provided as it seeks to make college more affordable and to put it in reach of more people. In his remarks at the White House, Biden also took aim at what he calls MAGA extremism in Congress, opposition to Ukraine aid, and a “poisonous atmosphere” and dysfunction in Congress.
