An important part of latest President Biden move to provide necessary student loan relief: he’s fixing rules to allow more borrowers to obtain relief they EARNED by serving our communities. 
 
MAGA Rs love to help big banks, but they attack these moves to help working families. Go figure.

In our post-Roe world, we've already seen devastating cases of women being denied emergency care.
