Public Service Loan Forgiveness is broken, but @JoeBiden & @teachcardona can fix it without Congress. We have a plan to reform PSLF and ensure teachers, nurses, first responders & veterans get the relief they've earned. Let's fix PSLF and keep our promise to public servants:

There's a huge backlog of 75k students waiting for @usedgov to process their relief applications after being defrauded by predatory schools like Corinthian & ITT Tech. Student Defense & @SenatorDurbin have a plan to help those students as soon as @teachcardona takes office.

Incoming Secretary of Education @teachcardona has an historic opportunity to overhaul @usedgov's enforcement efforts & hold predatory colleges accountable. We've joined w/@RepKatiePorter to present this plan to end #highered abuses & keep students safe: https://t.co/QHco7cFAAc

Predatory college executives have kept millions of dollars in profits after defrauding students, but that can change under Sec of Education @teachcardona. We joined w/@SenWarren to show how @usedgov can hold these executives personally liable. Read our #100DayDocket report:

We are fighting back with @XavierBecerra to challenge two late Trump giveaways. Under the old rules, if an online school was going to sell a Mercedes, at least half of it had to actually be a Mercedes. Now under Trump’s rules, not a single part has to be. https://t.co/bZJK189rW5
