    The withdrawal notices were for two of the department’s unfinished debt-relief rules. The first rule was Biden’s Plan B for broader debt relief after the Supreme Court struck his first plan down in summer 2023. The second rule was a proposal to provide relief to borrowers facing financial hardship.

    Unfinished and proposal.

      Yeah, Biden’s team never wanted to do any of this and never put any real effort into making it happen so now we’re hear. In any sane world this implosion (along with the FAFSA disaster and a million other things) would be the end of the conversation about why younger voters haven’t been supporting Dems at the rate we need, but I’m sure some jackass on MSNBC will say something fucking idiotic and insulting about misinformation on tiktok or something anyway.

        Passed student debt relief. You: “He didn’t want to do it!!!”

        Blocked by court. You: “see he didn’t want to do it!!!”

        Passes new bill. Continues to work on other ways to do it too. You: “see he never wanted to do it!! No real effort!!”

        Unbelievable.
