BREAKING: The Biden administration stopped taking applications for student debt forgiveness following a judge’s ruling.

displayed a message informing borrowers that"student loan debt relief is blocked." It added,"Courts have issued orders blocking our student debt relief program. As a result, at this time, we are not accepting applications. We are seeking to overturn those orders."

The Education Department said it will hold the applications for the roughly 26 million people who have already applied for forgiveness. The application's closure marks a departure from the Education Department's previous stance following an October court ruling that put a temporary stay on the program in response to an emergency motion brought by attorneys for several Republican-led states. After that ruling, the Biden administration continued to keep the application open because the stay only halted the discharge of debts. It had encouraged borrowers to apply nonetheless.

The Texas ruling"vacates the entire program, so they can't have borrowers continue to apply," noted higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz.

Well done Texas - you voted for this.

Lol

Let the defaults and forebearances begin! 😈 If they can forgive MILLIONS in PPP loans, then they can forgive some student loan debt. But anyhoo.....they ain't seen NOTHING yet. The REAL student loan crisis will begin in about 90 days.

And all of those that were already discharged need to pat their's back....and everyone needs to pay back those covid stimulus payments too!

Sure glad I got these useless credits that amount to nothing and won't transfer anywhere else for that 17k...

Lol

Clever headlines but Biden didn't stop anything the judge did!

What they needed to do is dismantle the program & offer all borrowers a 0 fee 0% int refi so that they could pay off the principal wo going into bankruptcy. Noone solved the actual problem, handing out these stupid checks is not helpful anyway. studentloanforgiveness

If you'll begin to database the responses here, you will find trends amongst bots, with a large force of foreign involvement. Especially on this topic throughout Twitter. Plenty are being duped obviously because it fits their party line. Go look at tweets and posts, trollbots.

Republicans already know that young voters mostly supports Democrats only so they gave up. Young voters rarely vote Republican, so Republicans blocked it

Good

that's what I love about this country we are so divided that nobody ever wins, well except for the lawyers they win every time...🤔

Thanks trumpublicans! Helping students with debt is bad, but giving billionaires endless tax breaks is patriotic?

a judge appointed by an R , let's be clear if debt forgiveness can only be done by congress, perhaps we need a fully D congress to write the law lawsuit states it's a 400 B write off how does that compare to the 16 TRILLION caused by the pandemic ?

If there’s anything I know about American justice, it’s 1 judge doesn’t mean a damn thing. Next!

Funny how anyone who believed that they were going to get student loan debt forgiveness and voted for Biden because of it , probably won't understand what being 'duped' means ... now let's see the google search results

Bright side: applications used for future democrat voter solicitation

RachelOLindley Thanks Trump Judge!!

kathrynw5 Midterms are over, it was a fake application. Biden never had any real intent to forgive student debt.

It's now shocking the Biden administration actually follows the rule of law.

ia DNC tool used fool d' mindless in media who never bothered to faithfully report on it. Somewhere Walter Cronkite and Jennings and others are disgusted at today's broadcasters YOU have become propagandists. 14th amendment is clear - you cannot grant a benefit selectively.

generations X and Z fell for it. Voted accordingly

Haha good. Pay your fuckin loans back that YOU CHOSE to take out. Nobody forced you to go to college. Stop being losers and having everyone else change your shitty decision making diapers lmao

wbz Good.

Nancy P to Trump - 'Presidents do not have this power.' Federal Judge to Biden - 'Presidents do not have this power.' I love when democrats get a taste of their own medicine.

Votes bought, mission accomplished.

They never intended on cancelling the debt. They got what they wanted. Ignorant people's votes. Even Nancy Pelosi said he couldn't do it.

Or maybe the last day to apply was Oct 30th?

Can you imagine wanting blue collar workers who perform exhausting physical labor that we all rely upon for our pampered lives, to help pay for your college degree in gender studies or the classics? Joe Biden can because he wanted to buy votes unconstitutionally with your money Wow...pathetic...this is why this country is falling behind. Many countries have free college tuition. But let's forgive PPP Loans of hundreds of thousands or even millions for wealthy businesses, politicians and sports figures.
