Welcome to Thursday, August 25th, canyons and rivers...
Biden announced that he is canceling $10,000 in student loan debt for borrowers making less than $125,000.

Millions of Americans anticipated the announcement as Biden’s campaign promised this economic relief for months.
Biden also proposed changes to the repayment systems, which would cut many borrowers’ bills monthly. Through the Education Department, Biden hopes to cap undergraduates’ loans at 5% of their discretionary monthly income. The current plans cap payments at 10% of a borrower’s income. Biden also seeks to have the government cover the monthly interest payments.
Many are waiting to see how Biden’s plan will impact the midterm elections.

The U.S. teacher shortage has been labeled a "five-alarm crisis" by the president of the National Education Association, Rebecca Pringle. The crisis has been growing for almost a decade, and the pandemic has skyrocketed the panic.
Teachers are demanding better wages and working conditions across the country, and unions are continuously fighting for fair contract negotiations. There are strikes this week in Columbus, Ohio, and at American University in Washington, D.C.

It's National Park Service Founders Day. On this day in 1916, the National Park Service was established as part of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
So, today, "conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and wildlife therein, and...provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."
—Jamie Epstein & Josh Herman
