Summary

Today's headlines: Pharma company Eli Lilly announced yesterday that they are slashing prices of insulin prices by 70%. The Supreme Court heard arguments regarding student loan forgiveness earlier this week, and it seems as if they are poised to stop the Biden administration from canceling $10 to $20 thousand dollars in federal student loan debt. Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot suffered an unexpected loss in her race for reelection on Tuesday. Finally for today, a state senator in Florida has sponsored a new bill titled the Ultimate Cancel Act, which would cancel the filings of any political party that supported slavery during the Civil War.
