Khan was appointed to be a commissioner of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, a body that investigates and monitors religious freedom issues across the globe and makes recommendations to the administration on how to address abuses.

Biden’s nominations include Rashad Hussain, who would be the first Muslim American to serve as the U.S. ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom. Hussain previously served in the Obama administration as White House counsel, as well as U.S. special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, among other roles.

In addition, he’s nominating Deborah Lipstadt to be the special envoy to monitor and combat anti-semitism, a role that has the rank of ambassador, a position that’s part of the State Department’s Office of Religion and Global Affairs. The position was left unfilled during the first few years of the Trump presidency, but lawmakers from both parties and a number of leading Jewish organizations have urged Biden to fill the role to address a global rise in anti-semitism in recent years.

Pelosi rebuffs Schumer’s push to get Biden to cancel student debtNancy Pelosi rejected efforts by Chuck Schumer and other progressives to convince Biden to unilaterally cancel large amounts of student loan debt, exacerbating a growing rift in the Democratic party over the issue Good luck Democrats keeping your base🤬 Schumer and Pelosi are having the wrong conversation. Cancelling the debt is papering over the problem. We have too many people going to universities AND we have too many people majoring in something that basically guarantees that can't repay their loans. Oh, and banks suck. In this day and time, America should be supporting higher education at all costs. Lack of access to education due to lack of affordability has brought us MAGA and the anti-science group. Nancy got this one wrong.
