If you weren’t already super psyched for the Big Beautiful Bill borrowing caps making law school unaffordable for many, get ready to learn that most lawyerly public service is no longer getting loan forgiveness. Because public service itself is going to “illegal.”
The Trump administration’s ongoing war on the legal profession continues with the Department of Education releasing its finalized Public Service Loan Forgiveness rule — a process kicked off in March when Trump issued his Restoring Public Service Loan Forgiveness Executive Order — and while its impact will be felt across education, the new rule is especially brutal for law school graduates, with the DOE cutting off forgiveness to those causes it deems to be supporting “illegal activity.” And, if you hadn’t already guessed what it means to support “illegal” activity in this regime, they mean jobs like “representing immigrants” and “advocating for transgender rights.”
agreed but Pepperidge Farms remembers trumps supreme court blocked Biden loan forgiveness more than 3 times. so come on.
Does pepper ridge farms remember how it became Trump’s SC?
You have to go back a decade, these days it’s a big ask…
Spoiler:
Neoliberals and Obama wouldn’t push Obama’s pick thru so it could be used as a stick to get people to vote Hillary.
They bet the country’s future and lost. Like, it most likely hurt more than helped. It motivated republicans to vote, and it turned off potential Dem voters.
So again:
If they had done what they were elected to, trump never would have won that election.
That Obama pick? Merrick Garland. It wouldn’t have mattered bro.
To be fair, Obama’s pick fucking sucked and also helped fuck over democracy by slow-walking Trump’s prosecution.
That’s another example of what I was saying the other day, about how it’s not so much that Obama was fucking up at being progressive, but instead that he was succeeding at being neoliberal controlled opposition.
Nope. Just a big request.
Grammar coming from somewhere other than the prestige dialects you’re so fond of are also valid ways of communicating.
