For the conservatives comparing this to DOGE, this will probably be less like getting rid of the people in charge of weather forecasting and more like saying “let’s not pay McKinsey $2M to tell us to buy trashcans”

ICE is ripping families apart and murdering people in the streets.
Meanwhile, Congress is paying ICE by *defunding* our health care and pushing us deeper into debt.
Join us—alongside workers, students, debtors and families—on January 30th to say ICE OUT!
NATIONWIDE SHUTDOWN.

I’m always gonna ride for @debtcollective.bsky.social because too few people understand how ICE and student loan debt issues and the carceral system are all connected
You know why more people dont protest?
They’re in debt.

There is no such thing as a "good" or "affordable" student loan plan. All of the loans should be canceled. The federal student debt portfolio is riddled with illegal errors and the interest rises no matter what you pay. It's a debt-trap. Canceling the debt boosts the economy.

We don't need body cams for ICE agents. We need to terminate the entire agency.

New: Pordoceo Education Corporation — the financial corporation that runs several shady, predatory for-profit colleges — is behind a "ghost student" scheme.
They're knowingly allowing AI students to enroll so they can get federal government cash and boost shareholder value.

Very normal post for a Senator whose state is currently being terrorized.
Yes it’s cold in Minnesota—but we embrace it. John and I were in Hastings with Mayor Fasbender for Hockey Day Minnesota to watch my alma mater, Wayzata High School, take on Rogers. Photo taken with parents right after their son scored a goal!

NEW: An original student debt report at the CFPB exposed loan servicers declining to answer consumer complaints + two private equity firms doing college tuition price-fixing + a giant default crisis.

Exactly. Republicans are forcing you further into medical debt so that they can pay ICE agents to terrorize communities.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

The irony here, of course, is that billionaires are publicly assisted and send their money out of the country. State and local municipalities—along with the federal government—subsidize the wealthy just for them to hoard their wealth in havens overseas. They want to discipline every dollar you have.
Bessent: "For individuals who want to wire money out of the country, they're gonna have to tick a box whether they are or are not on public assistance. Then we're going to start pushing over the coming days and weeks that if you're on public assistance, you cannot wire money out of the country."

Today, as many of our members are checking their studentaid.gov account to make sure they are not in student debt default so their wages don't get garnished, many are getting error messages when they log in.
The website just isn't working for many.

Cruelty is the only policy.
Starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is set to send notices to 1,000 student loan borrowers (first round) noticing them of an intent to garnish their wages for student loan debt.
This is cruel and unnecessary.
If you receive a notice, send it to us and we'll try to help.

If the United States wants to "run" a country maybe we try running the United States first. We put folks in prison based on race/class. The poor pay more than the rich. It's easier to get a gun than health care. A college degree is a mortgage before your mortgage and SCOTUS decides everything.
