However, it’s increasingly likely that the number of debtors who will actually be forgiven under the plan will be fewer than Biden’s initial proposal that inspired outrage from conservatives who accused him of “buying votes” with the pledge. Shortly after Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge announced a lawsuit with several other attorneys general targeting Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan Thursday morning, the Biden administration quietly changed the guidance language for who qualifies under the forgiveness plan, carving out those whose debts were held by private commercial lenders rather than the federal government....

In an economic speech after touring a Pennsylvania metal works facility, Biden outlined his plan—inspired by Senator Elizabeth Warren’s platform—that calls for $400 billion to be spent on American manufacturing and is expected to create as many as 5 million jobs. The “Buy American” plan is part of his broader economic initiative called “Build Back Better,” which includes improving infrastructure, investing in clean energy, and ensuring “historic investment” reaches communities of color....

Despite being ineligible for Tuesday’s Champions League showdown with Chelsea following his arrival from fellow last-16 participants Liverpool, Coutinho was dropped for Barca’s 2-0 win on Saturday. Coutinho – a €160million signing last month – started the goalless draw against Getafe but made way for Andres Iniesta as goals from Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba saw Barca equal a club record of 31 games unbeaten in LaLiga. Explaining his decision to drop Coutinho, Valverde told reporters: “I think it was best for my team to try to win....

Vidal was reportedly furious not to be named in the first XI for the 4-2 Champions League win at Wembley on Wednesday, in which Valverde reverted to a four-man midfield. An angry emoji was posted on social media by the Chile international, although it was later removed and followed up by a Twitter message in which he said: “Never give up! The best is yet to come.” Vidal has struggled to force his way into the starting line-up since joining from Bayern Munich and is reportedly growing frustrated with his lack of involvement, but Valverde appears unconcerned by his latest reaction....

Johnson opened up about this possibility, which he explained would solidify Black voices as their own entity, in a conversation with CNBC’s Squawk On The Street. “I’ve been convinced for a long time that 40 million African Americans who tend to vote as a block in one of the two parties limit their leverage in getting action from both parties,” he began. “I think it’s time that African Americans start an independent party, not be an appendage of one party or ignored by the other party, and using their leverage in a democracy to say we stand for things that are principally focused on the interest of the 40 million African Americans, and not have that diluted....

According to Bethesda, this new relationship between the two companies will act as a “long-term strategic partnership” for the pair, which no doubt will be intriguing news for fans of the company’s games that choose a PC as their device of choice. The Bethesda statement also stated that the partnership will “produce unprecedented performance” for fans. AMD itself was also willing to speak up on Twitter about the partnership. “Working together to deliver amazing gaming experiences, AMD is proud to announce a partnership with Bethesda,” said the company on its official Twitter page....

Speaking today at the D.I.C.E. 2016 Summit, executive producer and game director Todd Howard said Bethesda is working on three projects that are different than what they’ve made before, but still fits their history of “big and crazy” titles: It sounds as though the projects Howard is referring to are new, and may not include a follow-up entry in the Fallout or Elder Scrolls franchises. This echoes what he said in December, stating that the developer had “lots of ideas” for the future....

Midler took to Twitter to criticize the restrictive new law, which bans all abortions after a fetal heartbeat has been detected — effectively prohibiting the procedure after just six weeks of pregnancy when many women do not yet know they are pregnant. “I suggest that all women refuse to have sex with men until they are guaranteed the right to choose by Congress,” Midler wrote on Thursday. Midler’s comment came after the law went into effect on Wednesday, following a 5-to-4 decision by the Supreme Court that refused to block the measure....

The 20-year-old singer became the third James Bond theme performer in a row to win Best Original Song, following Adele and Sam Smith. She beat out Beyoncé’s “Be Alive,” her song for the Will Smith vehicle King Richard. Both Eilish and Beyoncé were first time nominees at the 2022 Academy Awards, though the latter’s “Spirit” from The Lion King was shortlisted in 2019. Bey’s fans are known for being loyal, so it is no surprise that not all of them were happy with the Academy’s decision....

“I have great confidence in General Milley,” Biden told reporters at the White House on Wednesday. Several Republicans, including members of Congress, have called for Milley’s ouster over allegations that he sidestepped then-President Donald Trump to assure the Chinese government that the United States wouldn’t plot a surprise attack. Milley’s most ardent critics, already disturbed by the chaotic end to the war in Afghanistan last month, have accused him of treason and called for him to face being court-martialed over his interactions with China....

The legislation, coined as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by naysayers, seeks to ban the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms. The Republican-led Senate Education Committee gave initial approval of the controversial proposal in a 6-3 vote Tuesday despite condemnation from activist groups. Biden took to Twitter promising LGBTQ students he would stand up for them. “I want every member of the LGBTQI+ community — especially the kids who will be impacted by this hateful bill — to know that you are loved and accepted just as you are....

Biden—who has accused Trump of leaving America’s image abroad “in tatters”—focused largely on domestic issues at the end of the convention, where he and vice presidential pick Sen. Kamala Harris accepted the nominations for the 2020 Democratic ticket. The COVID-19 pandemic, economy, racial inequality and the safety of American democracy all dominated, leaving foreign affairs to play second fiddle as they usually do in presidential elections. But Biden touched on two of America’s greatest strategic foreign policy challenges—Russia and China—vowing to stand up to their authoritarianism and protect U....

Reuters’ Steve Holland asked Biden if he is asking China to put pressure on its ally Russia amid the Ukrainian invasion. “I’m not prepared to comment on that at the moment,” Biden told Holland before taking another question. When asked by PTI News’ Lalit K. Jha about India’s potential role in the conflict, Biden said that the U.S. is speaking with Indian officials. “We are in consultations with India today,” Biden said, “but we haven’t resolved that completely....
