Dictators are spending millions of dollars on lobbyists in Washington DC. They want US weapons, military funding and diplomatic support. US Senators and Members of Congress must refuse to meet with any lobbyist or advisor who works for a dictator.

The House on Thursday passed legislation that would amend the Americans With Disabilities Act over objections from disability rights advocates and Democratic leaders, who warned that the bill would remove incentives for businesses to comply with the law. The ADA Education and Reform Act passed on a 225-to-192 vote, with 12 Democrats joining all but 19 Republicans to approve a bill that proponents say is aimed at curbing unscrupulous lawyers who seek profit by threatening businesses with litigation without actually seeking to improve access for the disabled. But activists say the bill, if enacted, would essentially gut the ADA’s provisions dealing with public accommodations by removing any incentive that businesses have to comply with the law before a complaint is filed.

In response to the events on June 14th and the current environment of divisiveness and violence, we demand: -Guilford County District Attorney immediately drops ALL charges against those arrested on June 14. -Mayor Nancy Vaughn and the Greensboro city council declare Greensboro a "No-Trump Zone" banning Trump from returning to our city. -The immediate resignation of Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes.

I am writing to express serious concern regarding the Department of Education’s continued failure to process Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) buyback applications in a timely and transparent manner. The prolonged delays appear not to be incidental or administrative oversights, but rather a deliberate tactic that effectively denies loan forgiveness to hundreds of thousands of eligible public service workers. Borrowers who have met—or are clearly eligible to meet—the statutory requirements for PSLF are being left in limbo for months or longer, despite clear guidance that buyback is an approved mechanism for resolving payment gaps. These borrowers include teachers, nurses, social workers, first responders, and other public servants who have upheld their end of the bargain by dedicating years of service in reliance on the PSLF program as written into law. The consequences of this stalling are severe and measurable. Borrowers continue to accrue stress, financial instability, and uncertainty while the Department withholds decisions it has the authority and obligation to make. Many are delaying major life decisions—home purchases, retirement planning, family planning—because forgiveness that should already have been granted is being quietly withheld through inaction. If the Department lacks the resources to process these applications, it has a duty to say so publicly and request them. If internal policy decisions are driving these delays, that raises serious questions about compliance with both the intent and the letter of federal law. Silence and indefinite delays are unacceptable substitutes for accountability. Public Service Loan Forgiveness is not a favor or a discretionary benefit—it is a legal promise. Intentionally slow-walking buyback applications undermines public trust, harms working families, and discourages future participation in public service careers. I urge the Department of Education to immediately: 1. Publicly disclose the status and average processing time of PSLF buyback applications; 2. Commit to a clear, enforceable timeline for adjudication; and 3. Process all pending applications without further delay. Failure to act reinforces the perception that these delays are intentional and designed to suppress forgiveness rather than administer the program lawfully. Borrowers deserve transparency, urgency, and respect.
