Scene in online eviction court today: Landlord tells the judge,"She applied for the rent relief program. I haven't given the program the information they asked for.I don't want their money. Even if I got the money, I'd give it back." Judge granted landlord's request to evict her.

.@ACHesquire: 36% federal interest rate limit is the most effective way to #StopTheDebtTrap
"Evidence from the real world is clear: the only access this predatory lending provides is access to debt. It is wealth stripping that fuels financial exclusion, not financial inclusion."

This is not a piece to debate the merits of debt cancellation, just a space for borrowers to share their truths. I saw myself, my parents, my cousins and so many others in these stories. I hope folks will read this with compassion.

Thank you Sen. @ewarren! #CancelStudentDebt
Sen. @ewarren: "We're here today to call on President Biden for justice. Canceling $50,000 of student loan debt is a matter of racial justice. It is a matter of economic justice. It is a matter of generational justice."

Thank you, @SecCardona, for meeting with @SenSchumer, @DerrickNAACP and me to talk about executive action to #CancelStudentDebt. I appreciate that you're taking a look. Our student borrowers – especially first-generation borrowers and borrowers of color – need you.
As a first-generation college student, I understand the importance of a plan focused on addressing student loan debt.
@SenSchumer, @SenWarren, @DerrickNAACP & I sat down today with students to find a path forward. I’m excited to get to work supporting our students’ futures.
Biden has asked Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to compile a memo on the president's legal authorities to forgive student loan debt, including a cancellation up to $50,000, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said at a POLITICO Playbook event today.

NEW: Philadelphia just passed a resolution calling on the federal government to "enact a plan by the end of President Biden's first 100 days" to "cancel all student loan debt."
A stark message to Biden from the city that delivered his electoral victory.
This is great. #CancelStudentDebt
