Linda McMahon made a video today lying to the public about starting interest on SAVE

1. It's not legally required to start interest

2. SAVE is not officially illegal and no court has ruled that it is - the courts ruled that Biden could not forgive loans using the HEROES act only. That's it.

How Working Class Asians Helped Secure Zohran's Victory The real story you won't get from all the hot takes.

“Zohran is where he is now is because of a working-class-led coalition…in which Asian Americans were in the middle, not on the outside or in between, from the beginning.“

This is the kind of thing that would be immediately obvious if you’ve ever spoken with a “low information voter.”

Democrats didn’t go too far left. The people on the bottom thought they went too soft against the people on top.

Revised Bill Gutting Student Loan Programs Passes Senate — Here’s What It Does Here are the details on the major changes to federal student loan programs Senate Republicans just passed.

Time to fire up lawsuits for existing borrowers, the MPN is a contract between borrowers and the Government. The Feds keep changing the terms on borrowers, lately by removing programs (Biden did with PAYE and SAVE).

Borrowers have few rights but may as well try.

So who is DC's Zohran?

zohran is proof that to mobilize the left you have to have "dorkiest guy at the punk show" energy instead of "coolest guy at mock trial" energy

🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, concluding that it does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex, is not subject to heightened scrutiny, and survives rational basis review. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The civilian wing of the MAGA movement is attempting to murder Democrats and their spouses in their homes.

The state wing of the MAGA movement is arresting Democrats for performing their official duties.

The MAGA movement is trying to make it illegal to oppose Trump.

So glad the free speech absolutists are in charge.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

For folks new to the issue, here's the Brief filed by leading Class Action & Habeas Professors explaining that DOJ's insistence that habeas cases can't get class action treatment is wrong. We scoured the earth, there's not a single appellate case supporting DOJ.

It was such a joy!

she really is so so bad at reading the room

Can This Chicago Preacher Save 'The Blacksonian'? When Trump came for the Smithsonian's Black history museum, Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III came up with a plan to push back.

"Last Sunday, Moss came to the rescue of NMAAHC by announcing that Trinity “is placing the museum in our annual budget.” He then asked parishioners to join him by donating $25 to the museum, the price of a basic membership, to show their faith."

In Nazi Germany, the targeted population was encouraged to self-deport and the state sought to impoverish them to force them to leave.

Higher ed leaders: Do Not Capitulate.

They will not stop coming for you.

We must fight to defend American higher education.

We must resist.

We're tracking the number of international students whose visas have been revoked by the State Department. We've confirmed over 300 so far and there are likely many more. Get in touch if you've got information you'd like to share with us www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

The majority seems to be affording the president a strong presumption of regulatory-assuming good faith and respect for constitutional boundaries. But everything this administration has done since Jan. 20 rebuts that presumption (a reality that may be dawning on Barrett, but apparently not Roberts or Brett Kavanaugh). As Boasberg has shown, and Sotomayor noted, the president invoked the Alien Enemies Act in secret so it could hustle migrants overseas before courts could intervene. Why should he now receive this extraordinary, undeserved assistance to continue operating what is so obviously an unlawful program, with a pinky promise that he'll afford due process this time to those ensnared on the thinnest of pretenses? Roberts' decision to bail Trump out is a deeply ominous sign that the chief justice wants to rein in lower courts standing in the way of the MAGA agenda. If he does, it won't just be Venezuelan migrants who pay the price. J

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, it’s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

That monologue.

On one hand, I agree with this.

On the other, the man is just a symptom of the system. He needs billionaire backers, congressional republicans, the justices, the ICE officers, the colluding and compliant leaders of civil society, Republican voters, and democratic do-nothings. The problem is big.

They’re Not Tariffs, They’re Sanctions Stop trying to place coherence on a policy that’s really just a mob boss breaking legs and asking for protection money.

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy.
These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do.

This is not an April fools joke. Have any of you who have gotten your federal student loans cancelled in the last few years recently been notified by your servicer that your loans have been reinstated? If so, DM us, we want to look into this further.

I was hoping to see more players speaking out in stronger terms following the hate Barbra Banda got recently in NJ. The statements from the teams and NWSL were heartening but were not specific, drawing connections, or meeting the moment.

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers

This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you?

My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.
