The Department of Education is no longer accepting applications for its student debt relief program after a Texas judge blocked the program from going forward.

"Student loan debt relief is blocked," the government website for student debt relief says. "Courts have issued orders blocking our student debt relief program. As a result, at this time, we are not accepting applications."

The Biden administration had pledged to begin relieving debt before Dec. 31, when the moratorium on student debt payments will lift after a two-year pause because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That lawsuit, brought by six conservative states that opposed the program, allowed borrowers to keep applying for the program, but stopped the Department of Education from discharging any debt relief until the court issued its ruling.The lawsuit, filed by a conservative group called the Job Creators Network Foundation, argued that the policy excluded people unfairly and should've been created with more input from the public.

"The Court is not blind to the current political division in our country. But it is fundamental to the survival of our Republic that the separation of powers as outlined in our Constitution be preserved," he wrote.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said they "strongly disagree" with the Texas court's ruling and that the Department of Justice has filed an appeal.

Y’all think it a coincidence that after they got your vote they cancelled there promise?

Right after the election too

Election is over.

Old joe and his lies, he lied to the whole Country saying there’s no inflation lol

Remember the bailouts? Executive 'Performance bonuses' paid with taxpayer money too. Unless the wealthy benefit, Republicans will be against it.

But we got 1.2 trillion to spend on military stuff 😂😂😂

Texas students continue to suffered in debts.

You misspelled BeijingBiden's illegal attempt to transfer the debt of deadbeats to working-class Americans.

Still ain't paying til u hire 😂

Even if the loans were forgiven they would still be responsible for the taxes and interest accumulation

Oh by the way when polled and asked the question what would you do with the money you saved 60 percent said they would take a vacation and the other 40 said party

Because it was illegal to begin with

Congress has to approve this money

America: 'KIDS MUST GROW AND BECOME THE MOST EDUCATED IN ALL NATIONS!' Also America: *America has the lowest graduation and test scores in history* *also our education system is built on the industrial revolution with no real world learning.* 'JUST KIDDING ONLY FOR THE RICH!'

The ole switcharoo huh Joe? 😂 Fooled you again, America.

Unconstitutional, did it anyway to get votes for the midterms. Shady AF

It never accepted applications in the first place

PayYourOwnBills

Shocker,I wonder why info didn’t come out before the election🙄

PROJECT PAY YOUR OWN BILLS!!!!!!!

Due to election finished so the loans forgiveness stop too ?

Nice so they start working all the government help make people lazy and no one wants to work

Hmm maybe he lied about it to get votes? Not sorry for all of the suckers who fell for this.

Damn, just put a deposit down on a new truck, this isn’t right

They will bring it back for the next election

Trump judges suck is all I have to say.

Congratulations to the 100 applicants

Y’all got played

He knew it wouldnt go thru & nice of judge to WAIT till day AFTER election. All you students got taken! 🤣🤣🤣

This was nothing more than a vote for me scam

I believe students can file bankruptcy as well if they can’t pay their student loans. It’s not just for big corporations.

That’s why these new kids that went to college don’t know the struggle free everything they want . Bring back the boomer kids

but, but, but. LOL!

Leave it to the Republicans to fight to Rule helping the middle class unconstitutional 🤦How dare they try to help the non rich!

time to go to a junior college then transfer to cal state or uc school.

a total rigged election- sham he is illegitimate as it is the whole world knows that the 2020 election was a total rigged fraud galore election- its why this vegetable in chief doesnt give a darn - except 🍨

Nothing is free!

John can run up his credit card debt to 50k and declare bankruptcy. Yet, jimmy racks up 50k in student loan debt and is screwed.

Technical difficulties

😂☝🏾

Bait n switch as usual

Thanks to the GOP. Tax breaks for billionaires? Absolutely! A little help for folks making under $75k per year? Oh, heck no! I paid my way through college. While there I learned enough to know this program would help the economy & hurt no one. That really makes Republicans mad.

What a sham! Got the 18-25 year old votes though…

No one should have to foot the bill for loans they, themselves, did not take out. Oh, and I feel the same way about bailing out big banks.

Hahahahahahaa

he tricked all the young voters with a carrot for loan forgiveness . this is exactly what he did to DACA kids to have them cont to vote democrat

So folks get two jobs and start paying back your debts…

He knew it wasn't constitutional, just did it to buy votes

People are laughing at students for wanting their loans forgiven..they went to school…we been feeding $ to pointless wars..nothing wrong there? The ‘wars’ in the past 20yrs could have paid everyone’s loans probably 3 times over..its ok to fund foreign wars but not its taxpayers?

Dems always do this $hit… remember DACA… they will never fix it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Leave it to Texas to do something stupid as usual.

was a hoax just to get votes

He really fooled people into voting blue , this country is such a scam 😂🤣

Because it was ruled unconstitutional!

Process mine

Shocking... you mean because it was illegal and ruled unconstitutional? Pay your own damn bills!

Presenting this as some kind of a choice in the Biden administration’s behalf is certainly an editorial choice.

The ole bait and switch.

Haha 😂

You had to know democrats knew it was unconstitutional but fooling young people got them the votes they needed.

Failure.

This will help those in financial need… You don’t need any government bail outs… The millionaire maker… $DIONE

That’s what happens when it’s unconstitutional. 🤷‍♂️

Of course. The election is now over. What a shocker!!
