The Biden administration has approved debt relief for an additional 125,000 student loan borrowers, totaling $9 billion in forgiveness, the White House said Wednesday.

That is literally just them correcting admistrative errors not new relief

The only thing that applies to me here is the new SAVE IDR plan. But hey, it still lowers my monthly payment a little bit AND let's payments actually go to principal instead of just shaving off interest. It's not nothing.

I would still like to see full debt relief, but I think that has to be a matter of legislation if I understand correctly. And I'll take baby steps over nothing at all.
