Most notably, the bill eliminates key repayment plans that graduates have come to rely on.
Many borrowers found relief in the SAVE plan, which after months of limbo is now completely eliminated.
New borrowers have access to only one plan that will increase payments for most.

The bill caps unsubsidized loans for graduate or professional programs while also reclassifying certain degrees as "non-professional."
Among the reclassified degrees is nursing. As our country is facing a shortage of nursing staff, Trump is making it harder to become a nurse.

Thanks to Trump and the "Big Beautiful Bill" advanced degrees are getting less affordable.
Earlier this month, changes to the student loan program kicked in. Here's how you could be impacted:
Congress ratified the 14th Amendment to help end slavery after the Civil War and ensure that everyone born in America would be a citizen and have equal protections under the law.
Trump's effort to undermine those rights is exactly what our abolitionist forefathers fought against.
Pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been in Israeli prison for 18 months without charges, and his lawyer reports he has been tortured and his life is at stake.
Dr. Safiya must be released immediately to receive the care he needs, and to continue his lifesaving work in Gaza.

He came to the US 35 year ago. He worked in construction and built a small business. He sent 3 kids to college.
Now he's dead at the hands of ICE. They claim he "weaponized" his car against them. Sound familiar?
@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on the latest casualty of Trump's deportation regime.
It’s long past time to end this pointless war.
The American people reject this war, and both chambers of Congress voted to end it.
More strikes won’t achieve what months of escalation already haven’t. Diplomacy is the only path forward.
Meanwhile, people in the top 1% will get an additional $23,000 benefit.
In Trump's economy, the rich get richer while everyone else falls behind.

By the end of 2026, home health aides and nursing assistants will lose $860, retail sales workers will lose $800, and firefighters will lose $270. Workers in the office and administrative support sector will lose more than $600.

The Joint Economic Committee found that even after the Supreme Court blocked some of Trump’s tariffs, working families continue to pay the price for Trump’s remaining tariffs.
Across different sectors, workers are feeling the consequences of Trump's economic policies.

It's been one year since Donald Trump and Republicans passed their so-called "Big Beautiful Bill."
They promised the bill would lower costs and put more money back in American's pockets.
But under Trump's tax and tariff policies, workers lose hundreds of dollars.

Watch freedom spread from east to west via particle pollution levels last night.
In DC, it was rough as usual -- AQI peaking at unhealthy to hazardous. You'll probably notice lingering effects this morning.

As Americans celebrated 250 years of our independence yesterday, masked white nationalists marched through our nation’s capital to spread fear.
They don’t define who we are. The American story has been one of pushing back against hatred and choosing progress over extremism.
As we celebrate 250 years of independence, I'm reminded of our Founding Fathers' ideals.
America was founded on the belief that government answers to the people, not a king. That's what the American experiment has always been about.
The future of our planet depends on people willing to stand up for science and the truth.
I’m so grateful to the scientists who walked to D.C. to deliver letters demanding action on climate change.
The Civil Rights Act helped make the promise of equal protection under the law a reality for Americans, regardless of race, sex, or religion.
We can't allow fear and division to undo that progress. Our diversity is one of America's greatest strengths, and it's worth protecting.
Big step forward for our CREATE AI Act! My bipartisan bill advanced out of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee last week.
It would help researchers, students, and more access the trusted, high-quality data and compute needed to develop AI safely and responsibly.

🌡️🥵 Heat advisory now in effect with feels like already ~92-97 late AM -- actual temps soon in 90s.
Haven't seen anything yet. Heat index near and past 110+ a good bet next several days.

Trump has nearly TRIPLED his net worth while everyday Americans have seen their wage gains swallowed up by higher costs.
My Republican colleagues see this self-enrichment - and they’re choosing to protect it. Their inaction is complicity.

Trump also made hundreds of millions from his
$TRUMP memecoin. All while thousands of ordinary investors who bought the memecoin lost money.
We've never seen a President monetize the presidency like this. It's corruption on a scale that should outrage every American.
