Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The More sweeping forgiveness attempt was blocked.
He seems pretty committed to forgiving whatever he can get through. It wouldn't be unusual to give up after the initial attempt was blocked, but now he seems to be breaking it apart into more manageable chunks. I'm still slightly hopeful that more forgiveness is coming for those who need it.
The record really doesn't support that. He could have kept pursuing the sweeping relief under different rationales while also doing these small-scale things, and he could have done more to make sweeping relief more difficult to challenge in court by implementing it closer to when it was announced. The fact that there have been no efforts in that direction makes it seem a lot more likely they're just trying to get as many headlines out of this issue for themselves as they can and don't care who does and doesn't get help at the end of the day.
e; almost goes without saying, but I probably should add that this is still way better than anything we'd see out of any Republican administration
This sounds really ambiguous. What "different rationales" are you referring to? I'm pretty sure his team of lawyers and advisors have pursued every alternative avenue possible. Warren's recent interview with PSA reflects this. If he wanted to provide blanket coverage before, why wouldn't he try now when it's such an obvious win to rally support from an essential coalition?
Thanks for giving a specific example. I'm curious why they didn't pursue that route or if they just didn't believe the DoE actually held that authority. At the end of the day, the DoE is still a cabinet-level Department formed under the executive, so I'd assume the thought-process was that the emergency powers under COVID superseded the powers of the DoE?
