The Trump administration has taken steps to officially end President Biden’s income-driven student loan repayment plan, meaning some borrowers who haven’t made payments in years will have to come up with a plan to make their payments again.

Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. Southern Command, met today with Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee, just before he resigned from his post over tensions with the Trump administration and its lawless attacks on what it suspects are drug trafficking boats off the coast of Venezuela. By WaPo:
Holsey’s upcoming retirement was announced in October and follows months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, sources familiar with the matter said. At the time, these people said, Hegseth was unhappy with Holsey’s cautious approach as the administration, which emphasized what it saw as the national security imperatives inherent in the Western Hemisphere, sought to increase pressure on some Latin American countries.

Burns: You pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and released him from prison, even though he had been convicted of extensive international drug trafficking. How is this zero tolerance on drug trafficking if…
Asset: Well, I don’t know him. And I know very little about him, other than people have said it was like, uh, an Obama/Biden type setup, where he was installed. He was the president of the country. The country, uh, deals in drugs, as you could probably say that about all countries, and because he was president, they gave him about 45 years in prison. And there are a lot of people fighting for Honduras, very good people that I know. And they think he was treated horribly, and they asked me to do it, and I said I will do it.

Under the proposed joint settlement agreement, the Department will not enroll any new borrowers in the illegal SAVE plan, deny any pending applications, and move all SAVE borrowers to legal repayment plans. If the agreement is approved by the court, it will mark the final end of the Biden administration’s illegal student loan bailout program, putting it to rest once and for all, and end the limbo that more than 7 million borrowers currently face when it comes to not being able to make their federal loan payments.

“Our office fought for hard-working Americans who were preyed upon by Biden administration bureaucrats, and we won in court every time,” said Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway. “Unilaterally imposing someone else’s Ivy League debt on taxpayers ignored Congress’ authority and was clearly illegal. We appreciate President Trump’s real, long-term solutions instead of illegal student loan programs.”
It also appears to be part of a brazen attempt to pit low-income borrowers against working-class Americans in some sort of faux class war (or perhaps “affordability” standoff?) in an age when no one can afford anything. Per NPR:
“We are on the precipice where millions of borrowers are defaulting on their loans,” says Persis Yu of Protect Borrowers. “And instead of choosing to defend a plan that would have been affordable for these borrowers, this Department of Education has capitulated to the AGs and is going to make life much more expensive.”
Shapiro ahead of Trump rally
President Trump plans to test his new “affordable” campaign message strategy – stolen from Democrats – at a rally in Pennsylvania tonight. He is expected to defend his economic record at a casino in northeastern Pennsylvania, where he will talk about “lower gas and egg prices and tax cuts passed this year,” Reuters quoted an unnamed White House official as saying.
Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro backed out Monday night ahead of Trump’s impending disingenuous turn in his state, telling MS Now that Trump is “lying about affordability.”
“He lied about the impact of his policies. And I want to make sure we set the record straight, showing how his policies are misleading farmers and manufacturers, driving up the price of products every day,” Shapiro said.
Trump admits he has no idea which Honduran president he pardoned
Politico conducted a lengthy interview with Trump on Monday, during which the president admitted he didn’t know much about the case against Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, whom he pardoned last week. Hernández participated in a plot to transport 400 tons of cocaine to the United States.
An excerpt from Politico’s Dasha Burns interview.
Burns: You pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and released him from prison, even though he had been convicted of extensive international drug trafficking. How is this zero tolerance on drug trafficking if…
Asset: Well, I don’t know him. And I know very little about him, other than people have said it was like, uh, an Obama/Biden type setup, where he was installed. He was the president of the country. The country, uh, deals in drugs, as you could probably say that about all countries, and because he was president, they gave him about 45 years in prison. And there are a lot of people fighting for Honduras, very good people that I know. And they think he was treated horribly, and they asked me to do it, and I said I will do it.
Admiral meets with bipartisan group
Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. Southern Command, met today with Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee, just before he resigned from his post over tensions with the Trump administration and its lawless attacks on what it suspects are drug trafficking boats off the coast of Venezuela. By WaPo:
Holsey’s upcoming retirement was announced in October and follows months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, sources familiar with the matter said. At the time, these people said, Hegseth was unhappy with Holsey’s cautious approach as the administration, which emphasized what it saw as the national security imperatives inherent in the Western Hemisphere, sought to increase pressure on some Latin American countries.

Trump’s Department of Education announced Tuesday that it had proposed a joint settlement agreement with the state of Missouri that, if approved by a judge, would officially end the SAVE plan. This accelerates the demise of a program that had already been blocked by the conservative-majority Supreme Court and dismantled by the One Big Beautiful Bill, which gave borrowers until July 1, 2028, to change their repayment plans (the bill also created new repayment plans for those who qualified for income-based payments, but those won’t be available until July of next year).

Biden ran for president promising to create a path to student loan forgiveness for some borrowers. The Supreme Court blocked Biden from adopting the most radical version of this ambitious agenda item in June 2023. His Valued Education Savings Plan, known as SAVE, was also blocked by the high court in August 2024.
SAVE is considered the most generous of Biden’s attempts to establish an income-driven repayment plan to provide relief to Americans. This allowed some low-income borrowers to pay as little as $0 per month. It also paved the way for some to have their loans canceled.
Republican attorneys general sued the Biden administration over SAVE, arguing that the plan required the education secretary to take actions that exceeded his authority. Efforts to challenge the SAVE plan in court have been led by Missouri.

“Our office fought for hard-working Americans who were preyed upon by Biden administration bureaucrats, and we won in court every time,” said Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway. “Unilaterally imposing someone else’s Ivy League debt on taxpayers ignored Congress’ authority and was clearly illegal. We appreciate President Trump’s real, long-term solutions instead of illegal student loan programs.”
It also appears to be part of a brazen attempt to pit low-income borrowers against working-class Americans in some sort of faux class war (or perhaps “affordability” standoff?) in an age when no one can afford anything. Per NPR:
“We are on the precipice where millions of borrowers are defaulting on their loans,” says Persis Yu of Protect Borrowers. “And instead of choosing to defend a plan that would have been affordable for these borrowers, this Department of Education has capitulated to the AGs and is going to make life much more expensive.”
Shapiro ahead of Trump rally
President Trump plans to test his new “affordable” campaign message strategy – stolen from Democrats – at a rally in Pennsylvania tonight. He is expected to defend his economic record at a casino in northeastern Pennsylvania, where he will talk about “lower gas and egg prices and tax cuts passed this year,” Reuters quoted an unnamed White House official as saying.
Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro backed out Monday night ahead of Trump’s impending disingenuous turn in his state, telling MS Now that Trump is “lying about affordability.”
“He lied about the impact of his policies. And I want to make sure we set the record straight, showing how his policies are misleading farmers and manufacturers, driving up the price of products every day,” Shapiro said.
Trump admits he has no idea which Honduran president he pardoned
Politico conducted a lengthy interview with Trump on Monday, during which the president admitted he didn’t know much about the case against Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, whom he pardoned last week. Hernández participated in a plot to transport 400 tons of cocaine to the United States.
An excerpt from Politico’s Dasha Burns interview.
Burns: You pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and released him from prison, even though he had been convicted of extensive international drug trafficking. How is this zero tolerance on drug trafficking if…
Asset: Well, I don’t know him. And I know very little about him, other than people have said it was like, uh, an Obama/Biden type setup, where he was installed. He was the president of the country. The country, uh, deals in drugs, as you could probably say that about all countries, and because he was president, they gave him about 45 years in prison. And there are a lot of people fighting for Honduras, very good people that I know. And they think he was treated horribly, and they asked me to do it, and I said I will do it.
Admiral meets with bipartisan group
Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. Southern Command, met today with Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee, just before he resigned from his post over tensions with the Trump administration and its lawless attacks on what it suspects are drug trafficking boats off the coast of Venezuela. By WaPo:
Holsey’s upcoming retirement was announced in October and follows months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, sources familiar with the matter said. At the time, these people said, Hegseth was unhappy with Holsey’s cautious approach as the administration, which emphasized what it saw as the national security imperatives inherent in the Western Hemisphere, sought to increase pressure on some Latin American countries.

Biden ran for president promising to create a path to student loan forgiveness for some borrowers. The Supreme Court blocked Biden from adopting the most radical version of this ambitious agenda item in June 2023. His Valued Education Savings Plan, known as SAVE, was also blocked by the high court in August 2024.
SAVE is considered the most generous of Biden’s attempts to establish an income-driven repayment plan to provide relief to Americans. This allowed some low-income borrowers to pay as little as $0 per month. It also paved the way for some to have their loans canceled.
Republican attorneys general sued the Biden administration over SAVE, arguing that the plan required the education secretary to take actions that exceeded his authority. Efforts to challenge the SAVE plan in court have been led by Missouri.
Trump’s Department of Education announced Tuesday that it had proposed a joint settlement agreement with the state of Missouri that, if approved by a judge, would officially end the SAVE plan. This accelerates the demise of a program that had already been blocked by the conservative-majority Supreme Court and dismantled by the One Big Beautiful Bill, which gave borrowers until July 1, 2028, to change their repayment plans (the bill also created new repayment plans for those who qualified for income-based payments, but those won’t be available until July of next year).
Now, some seven million borrowers will need to find a new repayment plan for their student loans sooner than expected. And the Department of Education describes this change as if it’s some sort of relief from the confusion and “limbo” created by the Biden-era’s generous policy for low-income borrowers. An excerpt from the press release from the Ministry of Education (not long for this world either):
Under the proposed joint settlement agreement, the Department will not enroll any new borrowers in the illegal SAVE plan, deny any pending applications, and move all SAVE borrowers to legal repayment plans. If the agreement is approved by the court, it will mark the final end of the Biden administration’s illegal student loan bailout program, putting it to rest once and for all, and end the limbo that more than 7 million borrowers currently face when it comes to not being able to make their federal loan payments.
