POLITICO will continue to fairly report on this White House and future ones. We will vigorously defend our First Amendment rights against any attempt to restrict them. The claims that POLITICO received government subsidies are false and have been thoroughly debunked.

Trump’s OBBBA just made unprecedented cuts to the federal student loan system. @BorrowerJustice, @AFTunion, @NAACP, and a broad coalition just launched “One Big Bill”—a borrower story gathering campaign to document the financial harm of OBBBA on families with student debt.

NEW: We just released findings from the most comprehensive investigation to date on the growing Buy Now, Pay Later market. What we found is alarming. Nearly half of BNPL users have missed a payment. BNPL late fees can rival payday loans with 200% APR. And more.

HUGE NEWS. @WBerkmanBreen is a force to be reckoned with!

Trump's Public Service Loan Forgiveness rule has been vacated. This was a simple but powerful case with serious implications for working people across the country. Full quote:
“This was a simple but powerful case with serious implications for working people across the country,” said Protect Borrowers legal dir. Winston Berkman-Breen. “Today the Court recognized ED's unlawful attempt to empower the Trump Admin to target political opposition at the expense of borrowers & public service. This rule was clear overreach & has already harmed public service employers & workers across the country, including our 14 plaintiffs.

We're obsessed with our policy director @AissaRCanchola...and now @TheTodayShow is too.🤩🤩🤩 MOHELA should be held accountable for deceiving student loan borrowers and pushing them further into debt to turn a profit. CALLED OUT.

The Trump administration recently fired @alexisgoldstein from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over an incident last year, when she confronted members of DOGE to prevent them from accessing sensitive agency information including personal information of U.S. residents. "I just asked them what their name was. They refused to give me their name," says Goldstein, who was put on administrative leave for a year and then fired last week. The CFPB, created by Congress in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, was gutted by Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Most of the agency's lawsuits against financial firms have since been dropped under the Trump administration. "Essentially, no one is watching the biggest banks," says Goldstein, who is running for Congress in Maryland to "fight against fascism in America."
