President Trump attacked the Department of Education and conjured up chaos for public servants eligible for loan forgiveness. But loan forgiveness remains intact, and Democrats are fighting to honor eligible public servants' careers and well-being.

My sister is a midwife. She has SO much student loan debt and an enormous payment. She was SO close to meeting the criteria and now she is worried she will never be able to pay off these loans.
@raskin.house.gov Add to your list. Those students who have borrower defense cases, or are in lawsuit settlements...make sure they don't F us all over by dropping our cases or closing them!
So how does Chuck feel about the removal of the Holocaust information from the pentagon? Not antisemitism at all? Bit by bit….you know Trump will throw him under the bus very soon. Useless idiot is what calls people. Stay the course, you are stronger than the storm.
That President has Musk and his techies combing through all the Government’s data and putting backdoor access, that way Trump will always have access to every email phone call and what is happening in those offices . Mark my words that’s happening.
The American people must fight for their own security! Get off your butt, get out there and demand what is right and don't rely on others. You have to do it yourself. Nobody else will do it for you. Stand up and fight for your rights!
Who.... how....
Do we get this to happen?
I feel like America is failing and Opera Book Test - in real time. And the book has an answer sheet no one is using to their advantage.
Dems need to create a public PLATFORM" to overhaul the government .... the correct way.. NOW that would generate a veto-proof super majority that could also amend the Constitution - do it NOW !
How are congressional Democrats fighting for anything beyond donations?
Seems like they are ok with higher education being unaffordable since they gave up on free instate tuition.
Dems are the party of “access” to unaffordable programs & services. It’s not a serious party. Survival of the richest.
The dumbing down of America now goes far beyond trump, musk & those Rs who will regret it when foreigners are recruited to fill professional jobs b/c American students had their educations, college dreams & futures stolen by a convicted felon/sex abuser/business fraud & S.African immigrant
Maybe we should DEMAND that all “tax records” and “school records” be released for candidates running for POTUS… so we can know that they have the requisite “ethics” and “intelligence” to run for office and to make decisions like closing or not closing the Department of Education!
Mr. Radkin, please start fighting for social security and get the message out so ignorant magas understand it. They’re still cheering on Elon and Trump. Trump approval 48%, dems 30%. WTAF?😳
I certainly hope so. Take a page out of the Republican playbook and scream bloody murder at everything. Gum up the works as much as possible, which was what the cr fight was all about til Schumer caved. There is power even in the minority. Look what ordinary citizens are doing countrywide and learn.
Our country is in peril. Elected reps like you can help amplify protests, platforms & calls to action! There is no algorithm on Bluesky so any effort to help get the word out is mission critical. How might you promote upcoming protest w/your following and reach? #MeetTheMoment #FiftyFiftyOne
Last year I received notification of my PSLF and was also told that, because I had made about 15 payments after the date of forgiveness, I would be getting a refund.
At this point, I am absolutely NOT expecting any sort of refund, but I AM increasingly frightened that my PSLF will be revoked.
We need our Department of Education so children can learn and to pay teachers their salaries. What in the hell are they thinking? To me, those two idiots do not have any brains at all. Were they sleeping while they were in class?
I’m a teacher, and I can say unequivocally that my wellbeing is NOT OKAY. The damage being inflicted by this administration is immense. It will take generations to rebuild. My life’s work feels like it has been meaningless in the face of so much ignorance and hatred.
If you cannot protect our data, all “loans” should be forgiven. Entire generations are being ruined by usurious student loans, and now you’re allowing MuskTrump to take over and destroy the agency that handles those loans and our data. Fight harder. This is pathetic.
Or my husband. Everything is frozen. After waiting on hold 4.5 hrs & past service hrs, he was still on hold. Clearly nobody was answering & he was just put on hold indefinitely. When he emailed, the response was its on hold, in deferment & they're charging interest while not allowing him to pay.
What happens when someone takes out parent plus loans on the premise that they will be repaid using Social Security benefits and they cancel Social Security. I have no other assets. Now what ???
Disqualified as an insurrectionist, cheated with putin, musk, gop with obscene voter suppression and blatant manipulation while democrats stayed silent handing the keys over to a dictator. Don't call him president, he's illegally holding office.
@gregpalast.bsky.social @electiontruth.bsky.social
For a president, he is one of the dumbest people on the planet. I wonder at what age he last spoke a true word. He always talks about himself, like he is the only person who knows anything about everything when it is the complete opposite.
You are talking about the guy who thought we had airports during the revolutionary war. Then he claimed to change the direction of a hurricane with a sharpie pen and told Americans disinfectant could clean the lungs.
But go on and give him big brain credit if that makes you feel better.
It was stupid enough that people fell for the idiotic belief that trump and Hilt3r are similar. That bullshit actually compliments him, and I'm so glad I was not dumb enough to fall for that shit. Basically.
The success of putin's propaganda and troll farm to get people to take a bunch of idiots seriously is how the Kremlin managed to get trump in office both times. Basically.

Do you like paying taxes & getting nothing in return?
The Trump Admin is receiving the same tax $ in 2025 as it did in 2024
Yet you are getting fewer services that your hard earned tax $ should provide
Why close the DOE? Why punish children?
Sell it hard!!!
She delivers babies and saves lives.
ASAP...
Who.... how....

Fighting does not mean sitting around and posting on social media.
Can you detail exactly what YOU did to stop this?
Anything?
We need to know!

Trump is saying dismantling DOE sends education back to states..it's already there.
