The Trump administration is finally following the law and forgiving student loan debt for eligible borrowers, because AFT stood up to Trump & McMahon to demand it. That's the power of unions. www.businessinsider.com/student-loan...

Student-loan forgiveness is back on for 2 million borrowers

Student-loan borrowers who met the payment threshold under income-based repayment plans are receiving forgiveness emails.

Wanna know why Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority"?
He knew he said the quiet fascist takeover part out loud.

That is, of course, unless you're talking about private schools...

Then it becomes one of the most important things that the Alberta Government recommends parents pay attention to while choosing a private school.

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.
