Summary

President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program is headed to the Supreme Court. While the plan is blocked for now, the justices will hear arguments in February to decide whether the administration has the authority to cancel federal student loan debt for millions of borrowers.

Crooked’s new workplace advice podcast “Work Appropriate” covers everything from how to deal with pushy bosses, to the systemic issues that plague many industries. Host Anne Helen Peterson tells us how a period of burn-out made her think differently about the world of work.

And in headlines: survivors of the Uvalde school shooting sued law enforcement agencies in Texas over their response to the massacre, a federal appeals court dismissed the “special master” in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, and the Senate passed legislation to block a nationwide rail strike.

0:04.2	And I'm Priyanka Erbindi and this is what a day where we now find ourselves deep in the heart of peppermint latte season.

0:45.5	But first, an important update in the journey to getting my and maybe your student loan debt forgiven.

1:20.5	In the meantime, though, the Supreme Court has left in place an injunction blocking the program's implementation.
1:26.2	Okay, so can you tell us a little bit more about the case that got us here?
1:30.0	Yeah, so like I said, there are a number of legal challenges out there to the forgiveness program.
