Description:
The interest rate on new federal student loans for undergraduates during the upcoming academic year will be more than 6.5%, the highest in 12 years. Graduate students will see more than 8% interest rate increases, and PLUS loans will have an interest rate above 9%. The higher rates are based on the 10-year Treasury note auction held every May and are expected given the Federal Reserve's high benchmark interest rate. Biden is working on new proposals to cancel up to $20,000 in debt for borrowers whose balances grew due to unpaid interest.

_house-of-the-dragon-season-2-official-trailer-max.webp "House of the Dragon Season 2: War Rages On<br/>Introduction<br/>The highly anticipated second season of “House of the Dragon” is set to ignite screens once again. As fans eagerly await the return of this epic fantasy series, the official trailer provides a tantalizing glimpse into the fierce battles, political intrigue, and dragonfire that await us. Let’s dive into the world of House Targaryen as war looms large and destinies collide.<br/><br/>The Targaryen Civil War<br/>The second season picks up where the first left off, chronicling the tumultuous events within House Targaryen. The civil war rages on, pitting rival factions against each other. Team Green, led by the ambitious Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), clashes with Team Black, commanded by the cunning Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke). Their struggle for power and the coveted Iron Throne threatens to tear the realm apart.<br/><br/>Dragons Unleashed<br/>Dragons take center stage once more. The majestic creatures—symbols of Targaryen might—soar across the skies, their fiery breath decimating armies and fortresses alike. The trailer teases epic aerial battles, with dragonriders locked in mortal combat. As the war intensifies, the fate of Westeros hangs in the balance, and the dragons’ role becomes pivotal.<br/><br/>Intrigue and Betrayal<br/>Behind the scenes, courtly intrigue simmers. Scheming nobles vie for influence, alliances shift, and secrets unravel. The enigmatic Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) navigates treacherous waters, while the mysterious Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) harbors ambitions of his own. As loyalties waver, betrayal lurks in every shadowed corridor of Dragonstone.<br/><br/>Legacy and Sacrifice<br/>Amidst the chaos, characters grapple with their legacies. Princess Rhaenys Velaryon (Eve Best) seeks to honor her ancestors, while Ser Harwin Strong (Fabien Frankel) faces the weight of duty. Sacrifices must be made—for family, honor, and the realm. Whose blood will stain the dragon-forged blades, and who will emerge victorious?<br/><br/>The Music of War<br/>Composer Ramin Djawadi’s haunting score underscores the tension. The trailer pulses with anticipation, building to a crescendo as armies clash, dragons roar, and destinies collide. The haunting refrain of House Targaryen’s theme echoes through the halls of Dragonstone, a reminder that blood ties bind both kin and foe.<br/><br/>Conclusion<br/>“House of the Dragon” Season 2 promises an epic continuation of the Targaryen saga. Mark your calendars for June 16, when the battle for power, love, and legacy unfolds on HBO Max. Raise your banners, for war is coming, and the flames of House Targaryen burn brighter than ever.")
