President Trump said on Friday that the Education Department would no longer manage the nation’s $1.6 trillion student loan portfolio or oversee special education services in a major shake-up of an agency he has sought to eliminate.

I owe zero fucking dollars you hear me. Fuck this fucking shit. Don't ask me about no damn student loans. With all the illegal shit yall letting slide.
Follow the money. I predict New Trump student loans coming with outrageous interest rates. Diabolical, dangerous and vindictive ruining our country. Resist.
It would be so funny if my student loan was “lost” or “cancelled” in this transition. Biden was blocked from canceling my 20+ year old loan, and then this happens. Fingers crossed.
The orange man doesn't know ethics and doesn't know human feelings. Empathy is something strange to him. Except empathy to money and to his ego. How can anybody trust him or vote for him is something that i will never understand. It's something behind any understanding or comprehension. Or decency.
Students experiencing civil rights violations will now find no advocates in the federal government. And recall that it was through the SBA where some of the greatest fraud, waste, and abuse was committed by small businesses receiving aid from the SBA during the Pandemic. https://www.sba.gov/document/report-23-09-covid-19-pandemic-eidl-ppp-loan-fraud-landscape
“F” THE MAGA CONGRESS/SENATE WHO DON’T GIVE A SH*T WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED. BIG PUSSIES ARE TO AFRAID OF THE BIG DUMBASS ORANGE FELON. LETS GET SOME REAL MEN OR WOMEN IN OFFICE. THESE MEN ARE WORTHLESS WEAK PUSSIES!!!!
So the "win" here is for deep red states who want to control the thinking of children, right? That's how the god freaks work. Indoctrination as soon as they can speak.
That has to be it.
Billionaire oligarchs, like Trump & Musk, don't need student loans & probably don't know anybody who has needed them. Taking away all ladders for Americans to climb above their "stations" suits those who were born into fabulous wealth. Rich brats are like that.
The student loan profile will undoubtedly be spun off to a for profit company as soon as one of Trump's donors can set it up. Students can then expect an endless stream of fees and other miscellaneous charges, a portion of which will be given to Trump when he runs for a third term.
Well, I can’t fucking read this. Why don’t you put your headline why?
His last education secretary, ran one of the biggest for-profit student loan scams
I smell that this is exactly what he wants to do to privatize even further and screw over students

Absolutely nothing is thought thru. No discussions with people who understand whatever the proposed policy is about. Just yelling out half baked ideas & sycophants cleaning up the mess without angering Trump.
Expect your student loans to now have some ridiculous interest rates, now mango mussolini has also torn up banking regulation, there'll be nowhere to turn to.
Rich to compare the 1,500-employees at the student aid office to the 200,000 at Wells Fargo. I thought they were all about efficiency in this administration?
Dismantling is different than elimination.
I think what's happening is that there have always been expectations and presumed guardrails to keep things moving in the right direction. That's ALL off the table now and we don't have the machinations in place to defend because this was never anticipated
Federal offices like his aren’t covered by recalls unfortunately. He can only be voted out in an election and Dems would need another candidate to run against him in a primary. Resigning doesn’t require the voters at all. He can resign on his own. And he should. He kowtowed to a fascist.
Recall elections are in my state. I would assume NY has the mechanism for a recall. If you’re from NY you can start a petition. A special election would be called. In Ca challenge candidates would also be on the ballot. If you think Schumer is going to resign you’re dreaming.
Maybe I’m incorrect on the recall. Looking it up I saw otherwise on positions like a senator. I’m not saying he will resign. I know he doesn’t have the backbone to face reality. I’m just saying he should because no longer worthy of his position.
So who's going to pay for it then, the states? I know blue states will keep those programs, but red states are going to turn their backs on special education students and those who want to go to college because they don't believe in it.

Good job.

He is so vulgar.

Big difference than what Biden was trying
Oh well, we didn’t really want to pay them back anyway…we worked hard for years in school to improve ourselves to benefit society and the economy.
You are welcome.

You're supposed to say this is illegal
Lawsuits are efficient, right?
It appears that the administration does not have the authority to transfer loan accounts away from the Sec. of Education.
I know the HEA and the HERO (HEROES?) acts - passed by Congress - explicitly give the power to manage accounts to the Secretary of Education.
Not interested in feelings. The specific illegalities.
Thanks.

Are you ashamed? 😔
