Nothing like waiting until just before an election to actually make positive change smh

Are you aware this was not the first action of this type? Maybe read beyond the headline.

They can't, it's paywalled

Well, the $4.8 billion from the headline is in conflict with

"This brings the total debt cancellation my administration has approved to $132 billion for over 3.6 million Americans through various actions," Biden said in a statement.

That could be a clue it's not been the first and only action of its kind.
Or did I miss the sarcasm in your reply? 😅

Reuters is not paywalled lol

The article is 2 paragraphs long.

You are correct. Let me rephrase. Registerwalled

I am not registered with Reuters. I can read every Reuters article.

They are an independent news distributor, from whom major news networks pull reporting consistently.

Reuters is one of the best sites in the world if you just want facts as they exist

I'm not posting the screen shot, it sends me to a pop-up that reads, register for free to continue reading reuters.

Nothing I've said has refuted Reuters as a reputable news source, it's quite well known that it is.

I'm still not registering with a website to read its content occasionally.

What country are you in? Perhaps it's related to locality?

US

Man that's super weird. Idk dude. Got no answers for that one lol

It is weird. I can go to Reuters and search their site and read the articles but if its a linked article it gives me the registration pop-up.

Just before? Did it become October 2024 when I wasn't looking?

Right?

This is "just before an election" like Obama's Garland nomination.

Which reminds me: when is Mitch McConnell going to finally die?

Just before an election.
