The White House was notably more measured about Biden’s stance, but such moves would be a boon to many of the 43 million Americans carrying student loans worth $1.6 trillion, according to federal figures.

Tony Cardenas, D-Calif., was among them. He said in an interview Wednesday that he asked Biden to extend the moratorium on debt payments through this year, instead of letting it expire on Aug. 31.

"New research reveals that your company makes it much harder for Republicans to reach their supporters even while your company makes it very easy for Democrats to reach theirs," Hawley said, adding that the internet plays a crucial role for political campaigns to reach their voters.

"We further observe that Gmail marks a significantly higher percentage (67.6%) of emails from the right as spam compared to the emails from left (just 8.2%)" researchers wrote. "Gmail marked 59.3% more emails from the right candidates as spam compared to the left candidates."

😳💦As water levels in the state of California approach record lows. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) announced a water emergency this morning and ordered restrictions to reduce nonessential water use in parts of Los Angeles, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties.

The water district attributed the emergency declaration to its “reliance” on “severely limited” water supplies in Northern California, which is also enduring extreme drought. It comes as the state has experienced a lack of precipitation and abnormally high temperatures in recent years.

The move includes the unprecedented measure of restricting outdoor watering to one day a week for about a third of the region.

📣🔷Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina seems to have violated federal conflict-of-interest law by failing to report his stake in a cryptocurrency named for the anti-Joe Biden slogan "Let's Go, Brandon."

By law, members of Congress must quickly and publicly report their crypto purchases in certified congressional documents, known as periodic transaction reports.

"All financial disclosure filings must disclose ownership interests of virtual currency" worth more than $1,000 and "purchases, sales or exchanges of cryptocurrencies," the House Committee on Ethics wrote in a 2018 memorandum to lawmakers and congressional staffers.

The purchase appears to have happened in late December, according to Cawthorn's Instagram profile.
