This summer, millions of Americans with student loans will be able to apply for a new repayment plan that offers some of the most lenient terms ever WASHINGTON -- The Biden administration calls it a “ student loan safety net.” Opponents call it a backdoor attempt to make college free. And it could be the next battleground in the legal fight over student loan relief. Starting this summer, millions of Americans with student loans will be able to enroll in a new repayment plan that offers some of the most lenient terms ever. Interest won’t pile up as long as borrowers make regular payments. Millions of people will have monthly payments reduced to $0. And in as little as 10 years, any remaining debt will be canceled. It's known as the SAVE Plan, and although it was announced last year, it has mostly been overshadowed by President Joe Biden’s proposal for mass student loan cancellation. But now, after the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s forgiveness plan, the re payment option is ...

Tulsa Race Massacre survivors and their attorneys are set to gather Monday to respond to the dismissal of their lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 deadly event. Tulsa Race Massacre survivors and their attorneys gathered Monday afternoon to respond to the dismissal of their lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 deadly event. This gathering comes just days after Oklahoma Judge Caroline Wall dismissed the 2020 lawsuit “with prejudice,” meaning the ruling is a final and permanent dismissal, and the case cannot be refiled. According to attorneys, the survivors found out from a reporter about the dismissal and are still awaiting a written order for the motion. The 1921 massacre left 300 African Americans dead, and thousands homeless after a white mob attacked Greenwood, a town known as “Black Wall Street.” The lawsuit hoped to seek reparations for the long-term effects of the event. Lead attorney for the lawsuit, Damario Solomon-Simmons, plans to file an appeal with the Oklahoma Sup...

What happens if the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is blown up by Russia? With its six reactors in cold shutdown, much of the danger has been mitigated. Ukrainian officials have been issuing warnings that Russia plans to blow up the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant -- the largest nuclear plant in Europe -- for months, but those warnings have escalated in recent days. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has even warned that Russia has placed objects that could be explosives on the roof of the power plant. In an interview with ABC News, Zelenskyy said Russia could stage an explosion at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant to halt Ukrainian advances on the battlefield. But experts say the cold shutdown of the plant's six reactors has largely curbed much of the risk that could come from an explosion at the nuclear power plant. "We're actually very, very lucky. Any incident would not involve an active reactor, which could cause enormous environmental danger and damage an...

Investigators are searching for answers after two firefighters were killed while battling a raging blaze aboard a cargo ship docked in Newark, New Jersey.

"The fire is going to burn for a couple more days probably," Wiker said during a press conference on Friday. While the cause of the blaze remains under investigation, there is an indication the firefighters' equipment was incompatible with the European-made ship's fire suppression system, sources close to the ...
