Friendly reminder Biden lost the battle but he hasn't lost the war. He is currently working out an income related savings plan and doing a hail mary long shot roundabout come in the back door play using the Authority he has from the Higher Education Act to create debt forgiveness regulation. He's still out there trying, though anything through the Dept of Education will take a while because of how policy works there.

I'm typically a swing voter, but not anymore

Roe, Affirmative Action, LGBTQ protections, this is why you should vote in every election, including (perhaps especially) midterm elections. It's the composition of Congress that makes these things happen, and you can't pass on voting if you want to prevent it.

Can anyone clarify if this strikes down Biden's plan in it's entirety or just the lump s forgiveness? TBH I always considered the rest of the plan that fixes ballooning interest and unaffordable monthly payments the meat of this plan. The 10k is just meh and isn't really fixing anything long term. Would be really unfortunate if the former got screwed by the latter
