That debt forgiveness doubles to $20K if you’ve ever received a Pell Grant. Monthly payments have been suspended through December 31, 2022, extending the pandemic pause on student loan payments and interest accrual. — PolitiTweet.org

Federal student loan holders – including grad PLUS & Parent PLUS borrowers - who make less than $125k, or $250k for families (based on your 2020 or 2021 income), can get up to $10k forgiven. If the Dept of Ed already has your income on file, you’ll get relief automatically. — PolitiTweet.org

PSA: The Biden administration has created new opportunities for student loan relief. Here’s what Americans can expect: — PolitiTweet.org

In a few minutes, I’ll be live with @JoyAnnReid to talk about dark money on the far right – who’s behind, where it comes from, and the damage it does to our politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Another blow to OLC, caught carrying enough water in released memo to float a boat. Mueller deputy Weissman takes it apart. https://t.co/1u1ojIhoFd — PolitiTweet.org

New NBC poll finds “threats to democracy” has overtaken the cost of living as voters’ top issue facing the country for midterms.

These are the tactics creepy billionaires use to secretly manipulate the public square and shape American life. Enough is enough. — PolitiTweet.org

He also funds infamous dark money groups like the Cato Institute, the Competitive Enterprise institute, and the Heartland Institute, and has funneled millions through the Koch’s “dark money ATM,” Donors Trust. https://t.co/a2sB2Zrom3 — PolitiTweet.org

GMU isn’t the only place where Seid bankrolls far-right causes. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Sure enough, when GMU responded to a request for all communications with “Barre Seid,” it included some of the same emails – only this time with Seid’s name where the donor’s name had previously been redacted. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
GMU still hadn’t revealed who the $20 million “anonymous donor” was. Instead, it’d only turned over some emails and documents involving this “anonymous donor,” with their name redacted. However, there were clues that pointed to one man: Barre Seid. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
It turns out that the Kochs, Leo, and Leo’s “anonymous donor” wanted a lot more than a name change - they sought to influence faculty hiring and get the university to pump money into right-wing projects. It doesn’t end there. https://t.co/mcRYa9VvFn — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
In response to public information requests, GMU was eventually forced to reveal some of the behind-the-scenes communications about these donations. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
But that wasn’t the whole story. Students, faculty, & alumni were rightfully concerned about giving far-right billionaires control over their university. They pressed GMU for answers about what strings were attached to these donations and who exactly this mystery donor was. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
GMU admitted that their “anonymous donor” arranged this donation after approaching none other than Leonard Leo. https://t.co/HhVhVJVjzD — PolitiTweet.org

In 2016, George Mason University received $10 million from the Charles Koch Foundation - plus another $20 million from an anonymous donor – to rename its law school after the ultra-conservative late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. https://t.co/8s0j3INHcB — PolitiTweet.org

This isn’t the first time that Barre Seid, the mega-donor who just handed Leonard Leo and the far-right more than $1 billion in dark money artillery, has used his fortune to push a far-right agenda behind the scenes. THREAD: — PolitiTweet.org

For Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Independence Day: “For days, Ukrainian fighters defended or contested the hilltop despite savage Russian bombardment…Nearly all the Ukrainians involved died and were found later in a makeshift grave with a cross on top, but they didn’t surrender.” — PolitiTweet.org

More good news: the administration has made some improvements to the PSLF program, and @SenJeffMerkley and I have introduced a bill to streamline the program and make this relief permanent. Our public servants deserve better. https://t.co/x2FrKO3644 — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
I’ve also introduced the Zero-Percent Student Loan Refinancing Act, to help Americans dig their way out of high-interest loans. For some people, their balance grows even as they make payments, which is unsustainable. Let’s get these bills passed! — PolitiTweet.org

Cancelling 10k in student loan debt and 20K for Pell grant recipients is a step in the right direction, and President Biden’s call will make a real difference in many Americans’ lives. This is how we build economic security and help families get ahead. https://t.co/3EB7SY3FOT — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll say it again and again – we need to pass my DISCLOSE Act and get dark money out of our elections. It’s time for regular voters to speak louder than mega-donors. — PolitiTweet.org
