Ravi and Rikki start with President Biden’s decision to forgive student loan debt, discussing whether it’s the right approach to addressing the problem.

Finally, they go over a bunch of updates from a busy news week, including two convictions in the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, major accusations from a former Twitter executive turned whistleblower, and a slew of races in New York and Florida.
