Ta, Dok. This is such great news for so many people. However will the reich wing spin this as irresponsible, unlike their eternal tax cuts for rich fuckwads?

Sallie Mae (Navient) is a corporate loan shark. Pure usury.

THANK YOU for this entire series, which may have saved my marriage.

Twenty years ago I wed a man with student debt in the low 20K$s. Aside from his time in grad school, he kept paying. Thinking he must be close to done, I asked last year how much he still owed. The answer? THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. That was when I started forwarding him these articles. And nagging.

The government is now telling him to pay nothing while they figure out if he owes anything at all anymore. He teaches high school English. (I do...this.)

Keep spreading the good word! And vote like your life (or relationship) depends on it. Because it does.

I am certain a bunch of Republican lawyers somewhere are working on a plan to sue to have this stopped.

This makes Virginia Foxx extra ornery. You know, the GQP chair of the House education committee who hates it when higher ed is opened up to the poors.

if you've been paying for 30, I would bet you get the notice SOON. Shy signed up and like the next month they went oh guess what, you no longer owe SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. (Down from $95,000! He had only taken out 20k!)

Ya know, when campaign time kicks into high gear, it would be great to remind people that not only did Biden do something about student loans, but HOW he did it in spite of the SCOTUS ruling.....

Yes, but I really don’t see how he’s better than Trump.
