Axios: “A federal judge in Texas struck down the Biden administration’s student debt relief program Thursday.
The latest: The Biden administration said in a Thursday night filing that it’s appealing the ruling of the Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman. “We strongly disagree with the District Court’s ruling on our student debt relief program,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in a statement confirming the appeal.
Driving the news: Pittman declared the program illegal after the Job Creators Network Foundation filed a lawsuit last month alleging the administration violated federal procedures.”
