Education Department pausing plan to garnish Social Security checks over defaulted loans
'The listening sessions in Taunton, Worcester and Somerville provided deeply meaningful feedback, and I thank all of the parents, educators and community members who joined. We are working to bring the definition of what it means to graduate from high school to new heights, and additional public feedback is only going to strengthen these efforts. I encourage everyone to fill out the survey and look forward to engaging with more residents at the remaining listening sessions,' said Secretary of Education Dr. Patrick Tutwiler.
For more information on those listening sessions or to complete the survey by June 30th at Mass.gov/K12GradCouncil.

'I warned you': Left-wing governor scraps migrant shelter plan after $1B blowup
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announced the closure of all remaining hotel shelters in the Bay State amid the formal termination of her executive emergency focused on the state's Biden-era migrant influx. Meanwhile, Mike Kennealy -- her Republican rival in the 2026 gubernatorial sweeps who also served as the state's housing secretary under GOP Gov. Charlie Baker -- is telling the Democrat, "I told you so." Healey described her emergency order period as a success, saying that when she took over from Baker, "families were being placed in hotels all across the state, and families were staying in shelter for months – sometimes years – at a time." "There was no plan in place to reform the shelter system to handle the surge in demand, protect taxpayer dollars or help families leave shelter. We can all agree that a hotel is no place to raise a family. So, we took action," Healey said, as the state employed hotels, community centers and even a defunct prison to house the influx. It'll Upend The Community: Pa Town Roiled By Talk Of Migrant Housing In Civil-war Era Orphanage In 1983, then-Gov. Michael Dukakis signed what remains the nation's only statewide right-to-shelter law, which set in motion the conditions for such a migrant housing crisis. Read On The Fox News App Healey and the Democratic-majority legislature in Boston revised Dukakis' law to a six-month limit on that right, and to require proof of residency as well as proper immigration paperwork with some exceptions. Kennealy said he warned Healey about a "potential, looming migrant crisis – I warned her in writing." "She didn't listen," he posted Tuesday, accusing Healey of "playing politics" with the Biden-era migrant crisis and "selling false hope" to migrants and taxpayers. Massachusetts Resident Condemns Right-to-shelter Law Turning Bay State Into 'Destination For Migrants' "The hotels may be closed for now, but the crisis lives on through the HomeBASE program and runaway spending," Kennealy said, adding that if elected he will "audit and fix it." Kennealy's comments came weeks after a report showed Bay Staters will spend as much as $1 billion cumulatively on the state's emergency shelter program in FY-2025, with migrant families making up a significant share of those receiving assistance. The costs work out at about $3,496 per week per family, or around $1,000 per person per week for the program, known as the Emergency Assistance system, according to the state's Executive Office for Housing and Livable Communities. A Healey spokesperson told the Boston Herald on Monday that the governor "inherited a disaster of a shelter system" from Kennealy, whom she said offered scant substantive advice.

Trump touts ruling upholding ID number check for Texas mail-in ballots
President Trump early Tuesday touted an appeals court ruling upholding Texas's requirement that voters to provide a driver's license or other identification number for their mail ballot to be counted. 'THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! Should be Nationwide!!! President DJT' Trump wrote on Truth Social. A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit unanimously ruled on Monday the requirement does not violate a provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prevents states from denying a person's right to vote over paperwork errors that are not 'material.' 'The number-matching requirements are obviously designed to confirm that every mail-in voter is indeed who he claims he is. And that is plainly material to determining whether an individual is qualified to vote,' wrote U.S. Circuit Judge James Ho, rejecting the argument. Ho was joined on the panel by U.S. Circuit Judge Don Willett, both Trump appointees, and U.S. Circuit Judge Patrick Higginbotham, an appointee of former President Reagan. In Texas, voters can vote by mail if they meet certain criteria, like being disabled or age 65 or older. The state's Republican-controlled legislature passed the new check in 2021 as part of a broader election integrity bill, S.B. 1. It requires voters to provide a state identification number or the last four digits of their Social Security number on their mail-in ballot application and ballot envelope. Clerks reject ballots that don't comply. The Biden administration and several civil rights groups filed lawsuits soon after the law's enactment. Texas and the Republican National Committee appealed to the 5th Circuit after U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez Jr. blocked Texas from enforcing the requirement. An appointee of the second former President Bush, Rodriguez ruled that the number-matching requirement violates the Civil Rights Act because it is not material to a voter's eligibility. The 5th Circuit's decision reverses that finding, ruling that the materiality provision only covers voter eligibility determinations and not mail-in ballots. 'The 2021 Act easily complies with the materiality provision in any event,' Ho wrote.
