President Joe Biden will announce a significant new plan next week to cancel federal student loan debt for new categories of borrowers. It comes nearly a year after the Supreme Court ended his administration’s first attempt to relieve debt for millions who attended college. Biden will talk about his new plan Monday in Madison, Wisconsin. Three people with knowledge of the plans confirmed this information. The new effort is making good on Biden’s promise after the Supreme Court struck down in June his initial $400 billion proposal. A majority of justices insisted it needed congressional approval. The president called that decision a “mistake” and “wrong.”

US military C-130 cargo planes have airdropped food and aid in pallets over Gaza. It's the opening stage of an emergency humanitarian assistance authorized by President Joe Biden after more than 100 Palestinians who had surged to pull goods off an aid convoy were killed during a chaotic encounter with Israeli troops. Three planes from Air Forces Central dropped 38,000 meals into Gaza at 8:30 a.m. EST Saturday. The bundles were dropped in southwest Gaza, on the beach along the territory’s Mediterranean coast and U.S. officials said after the drops they were able to see civilians access the food. The U.S. says the airdrop is expected to be the first of many.

Relatively few Americans are excited about a potential rematch of the 2020 election between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump. But more Republicans would be happy to have Trump as their nominee than Democrats would be with Biden. That's according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Randy Johnson, a Republican from Monett, Missouri, says, “I find it sad for our country that that's our best choices.” That apathy from voters comes even as both Biden and Trump, at least for now, seem like they'll easily get their parties' nominations next year. To independent Andrew Collins from Windham, Maine, “This is probably the most uniquely horrible choice I’ve had in my life.”

President Joe Biden has made his case before the U.N. General Assembly that the world must remain united in defending Ukraine against Russian aggression. In an address in New York on Tuesday, Biden warned that no nation can be secure if “we allow Ukraine to be carved up” as he tries to rally support for Kyiv’s effort to repel a nearly 19-month-old Russian invasion that has no end in sight. The U.S. president called on world leaders not to let support for Ukraine diminish and he argued that Russia is counting on countries to grow tired of prolonged conflict in Kyiv which would “allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence.” Biden is scheduled to host talks Thursday at the White House with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
