THE FLYOVER,

Thursday, AUGUST 29, 2024,

Good Morning! On this day in 1958, the United States Air Force Academy opened in Colorado Springs. The dedication ceremony was broadcast live on national television, with Walter Cronkite covering the event.

Walter Cronkite isn’t the only celebrity connected to the Air Force Academy. Famed Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille designed the cadet parade uniform. The movie-ready blue-grey jacket, white trousers, gold waist sash, and white peaked hat are still worn today.

We hope you enjoyed reading today’s Flyover. Let us know how we’re doing by replying to Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com.

TAKEOFF,

Supreme Court Blocks Biden Loan Plan,

The Supreme Court on Wednesday blocked President Joe Biden’s latest student loan relief program, known as SAVE, while legal challenges proceed.

The justices upheld a lower court injunction against the plan, which would extend repayment periods and forgive debts of $12,000 or less for millions of borrowers.

This decision follows the court’s ruling last year that struck down Biden’s broader attempt to cancel up to $400 billion in student loans.

The SAVE program, which Biden touted as “the most affordable student loan repayment plan ever,” has been challenged by Republican-led states arguing the president overstepped his authority.

The National Weather Service has placed the region from Indianapolis to New York City at the second-highest level of heat risk on its experimental scale, raising concerns about heat-related illnesses and infrastructure challenges.

Severe thunderstorms are forecast to follow a similar path from the Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England, bringing cooler temperatures to the Northeast by week’s end.
