A suspicious substance that was found in the library of the White House prompted a brief evacuation on Sunday. According The Guardian the substance was tested and found to be cocaine.
“U.S. Secret Service Uniform Division Officers located an unknown item on the White House complex,” a USSS spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “As a precaution, the White House grounds were evacuated, and the DC Fire Departments Hazmat team responded.”
The secret also confirmed that they will be investigating how the substance ended up in the White House. The item was sent for further evaluation and an investigation into the cause and manner of how it entered the White House is pending,” the Secret Service said.
President Biden was not there when this incident occurred. He didn’t arrive back to the White House until they were evacuating.
In more recent news folks have been concerned after the Supreme Court blocked Joe Biden’s plan to cancel more than $400 billion in student loan debt.
Biden released a statement after the news letting people know that there is still hope.
“This fight is not over. I will have more to announce when I address the nation this afternoon.” Biden said. “My Administration’s student debt relief plan would have been the lifeline tens of millions of hardworking Americans needed as they try to recover from a once-in-a-century pandemic. Nearly 90 percent of the relief from our plan would have gone to borrowers making less than $75,000 a year, and none of it would have gone to people making more than $125,000. It would have been life-changing for millions of Americans and their families. And it would have been good for economic growth, both in the short- and long-term.”
He continued, “The hypocrisy of Republican elected officials is stunning. They had no problem with billions in pandemic-related loans to businesses – including hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions of dollars for their own businesses. And those loans were forgiven. But when it came to providing relief to millions of hard-working Americans, they did everything in their power to stop it.”
“While today’s decision is disappointing, we should not lose sight of the progress we’ve made – making historic increases to Pell Grants; forgiving loans for teachers, firefighters, and others in public service; and creating a new debt repayment plan, so no one with an undergraduate loan has to pay more than 5 percent of their discretionary income.”
“I believe that the Court’s decision to strike down our student debt relief plan is wrong. But I will stop at nothing to find other ways to deliver relief to hard-working middle-class families. My Administration will continue to work to bring the promise of higher education to every American.And later today, I will provide more detail on all that my Administration has done to help students and the next steps my Administration will take.”
