People in the US: have you been affected by interest resuming on student loan debt under the Save plan?
Under the Biden administration, about 8 million people enrolled in a 2023 income-driven repayment plan for student debt – the Saving on a Valuable Education (Save) plan. But as of 1 August, the Trump administration has resumed charging loan interest under the Save plan to borrowers, who have been in forbearance since last year. The Department of Education has recommended people switch to another repayment plan for their federal student loans. Borrowers can still forgo payments, but will see interest accruing on their loans and won't make any progress toward student loan forgiveness. We want to hear from you. Are you a US borrower who enrolled in the Save plan? What do you plan to do now that interest is again being charged? Will you be forced to make changes to your spending habits in order to make new payments? How will this affect you? You can tell us how you've been affected by filling in the form below.

Trump Media to broadcast GB News on US streaming platform Truth+
The Trump family media company has partnered with GB News to broadcast the channel on its US streaming platform, Truth+. Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which operates social media app Truth Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand announced on Friday that it will add GB News to its list of available channels – making the UK broadcaster accessible to most countries globally, including the US. GB News, which has hosted rightwing commentators such as Nigel Farage, will be offered with the free basic package on Truth+, and can be accessed through multiple devices and platforms including iOS, Android, Web, Apple TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire. This new alliance between TMTG and GB News comes as the US president continues to criticise the mainstream media, filing lawsuits against giants such as Rupert Murdoch, as well as broadcasters and smaller newspapers. Earlier this year, Trump claimed that the US media was full of 'radical-left monsters', who are guilty of 'illegal' reporting. More recently, White House communications director, Steven Cheung, has said that 'liberal media' is spreading 'fake news' in relation to reports claiming that Trump's name appears in US justice department files about Jeffrey Epstein. Trump Media's chief executive and chairperson, Devin Nunes, said in a statement: 'GB News is a terrific source for news, facts, and commentary. 'By expanding its global reach, we aim to connect an enormous new, international audience to the network's unique reporting and opinion, while putting another dent in the global woke news monopoly.' Sign up to First Thing Our US morning briefing breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what's happening and why it matters after newsletter promotion Angelos Frangopoulos, GB News chief executive, said: 'As the fearless champion of freedom of speech in Britain, it is important that we launch across the United States of America and globally on the Truth+ streaming platform.'
