The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program helps people like teachers & firefighters get promised student debt relief for a decade of public service.
Trump wants to rob them of debt relief they're owed by law while he demands trillions in tax cuts for billionaires like himself.

Spoke with members from the WA state Alliance of YMCAs about their work to bring communities together.
Trump & Musk's reckless cuts put programs like these at risk—but I'll keep fighting back to protect these important investments in our families & communities.
Being a park ranger was Sam's dream job—and he was great at it.
Elon fired him for no reason, anyway.
Firing people like Sam means trails will close, overflowing toilets and trash cans at our parks, and longer wait times.
Stand up for our park rangers.
Save our public lands.
On the heels of the deadliest U.S. plane crash in decades, Elon’s clueless DOGE staffers were trying to fire AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS.
Trump and Elon are putting all of our lives at risk through their incompetence.
How about we fire Elon instead?
This weekend when you lose an hour of sleep and your families' schedules are off because of Daylight Saving Time, remember that it doesn't have to be this way—and I have a bill that would make DST permanent.
I do not trust for a second that Elon Musk isn't using his immense power as co-president & head of DOGE to tip the scales in his favor when it comes to the BILLIONS in government contracts his businesses receive. And neither should you.
I was told I couldn’t make a difference because I was just a mom in tennis shoes. But there are a LOT of moms and dads in tennis shoes out there.
And we will not let ANYONE—not if they are the President or the richest man in the world—put our kids’ futures on the chopping block.
Donald Trump wants to hollow out the Department of Education and DESTROY public education in America.
This goes against a very basic principle in this country that we put our kids first & that our future depends on whether our kids get the support they need to grow and thrive.
Trump and Musk don’t know what it’s like to count on their local public school having the resources to get their kids a great education.
They don’t know why Pell Grants are important—and they don’t care to learn why.
They want to break public education and enrich themselves.
Not being able to talk to a real person at the Social Security Administration when you need help or your local office closing due to staffing cuts is a benefit cut—point blank.
Elon needs to get his hands OFF Social Security.
Repost if you agree.

Communities across WA state are feeling the devastating effects of Trump & Musk's reckless & chaotic actions.
I heard from officials from WA state counties about how this has frozen transportation funding, threatened people's jobs, put access to affordable, quality child care on the line, & more.
While Trump & Musk attack workers and fire tens of thousands of hard-working Americans, Democrats are fighting for workers' rights and pushing forward.
We reintroduced the PRO Act today to protect workers' right to join together & bargain for better wages & benefits.
Elon Musk calls Americans who rely on federal benefits "PARASITES" and Social Security a "Ponzi scheme."
But right now, if you make around $160,000 a year, you pay the SAME amount into Social Security each year as a billionaire like Elon.
As you see the prices you pay for everything INCREASE because of Trump's tariffs, remember that last night, Republicans CHEERED for them.
They don't care if your costs go up—all they're focused on is forcing through more tax breaks for billionaires.
@slotkin.senate.gov is right: Trump hasn't done a damn thing to lower costs.
Instead, Trump & the GOP are full steam ahead on pushing their pro-billionaire, anti-middle-class agenda to give billionaires like Musk another tax break while kicking kids & families off their health care.
This will empower Elon to privatize VA by breaking it first.
These layoffs are going to mean longer processing times for disability claims & longer wait times for veterans to see a doctor.
They may also seriously threaten patient safety or lead to VA closures. apnews.com/article/vete...
The nominee for deputy budget director can't even say that the 2020 election wasn't rigged.
Denying these basic facts should be disqualifying for anyone wanting to work in government—let alone help manage our nation's budget.
Trump's nominee for deputy budget director seems open to the idea that our seniors who need help with Social Security should talk to chatbots instead of people.
And he could NOT promise Elon's staffing cuts at the Social Security Administration wouldn't stop seniors from getting their benefits.
Trump's nominee for deputy budget director could not say he would follow the LAW and implement Congress' government funding bills—YOUR taxpayer dollars—as directed.
