Meanwhile, the U.S. has conducted multiple military strikes in Iran, but NPR's carry cons as talks between the U.S. and Iran are apparently going to go forward. A senior U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive
negotiations told NPR last night that "nothing has been canceled and talks are on track for the coming days."
“The Associated Press is reporting that Pakistan, a key mediator, says talks will resume”
Tuesday. NPR's carry-con reporting, "It's been more than four days since Twin earthquakes rocked Venezuela. The government says more than 1,450 people have died, tens of thousands are missing.

July 1st. Among them, Republicans created two new repayment plans, and they'll be the only options for new borrowers. The Biden-era save plan is also being shut down. The millions of current borrowers still in save will need to choose another plan, or they'll
“be automatically moved into what is arguably the least flexible option.”
There will also be a big change for graduate students. Once allowed to borrow as much as they needed, most will now be limited to $20,500 a year.

During the ceremony, actor Woody Harrelson, a close-mar friend, referred to the venue as the Trump Kennedy Center, then corrected himself. "Oh, right, we fix that," he said, not that you'd be able to notice.
Harrelson was referring to the tarp that continues to cover the buildings facade, making it impossible for the public to see Trump's name is going. Trump did not attend the ceremony. Last year, Trump posted more at the White House and signed a long list of things he's called the comedian, including low ratings, lightweight jerk.
