Hello there, interested public! Student loans remain news, with the head of the CFPB formally accusing the Department of Education of impeding its ability to oversee loan servicers and the American Federation of Teachers endorsing Senator Warren’s student debt relief plan. Additionally, multiple sources reported on students and young people’s declining interest in government jobs, especially at the federal level. And a district attorney in Utah has announced he will not enforce the state’s new abortion restrictions while they are challenged in the courts.

See you around,
