Colorado AG Joins 21 States in Lawsuit Claiming Student Loan Program Is Politically Biased

By: Marissa Ventrilli | Colorado Politics Colorado has joined 21 states in a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education over placing restrictions on a student loan forgiveness program for public service employees. It’s the latest lawsuit filed by Attorney General Phil Weiser, who is running for governor, against the Trump administration. He has so far pursued more than 40 lawsuits since January. According to the lawsuit, a new federal rule deems certain state and local governments and nonprofit organizations ineligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) if they are found to have engaged in “activities or actions” that are “disfavored” by the Trump Administration, such as providing services for transgender children and promoting diversity, equity...

Education Dept Tightens Loan Forgiveness, Excludes Groups Promoting Trans Surgeries and Illegal Aid

By: Jaryn Crouson | The Daily Caller The Department of Education (ED) on Thursday updated a rule on public service employee eligibility for student loan forgiveness, disqualifying any who work at organizations that advocate for sex change operations for minors, or which aid illegal aliens. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program generally applies to government workers and some nonprofits that are deemed to be serving the public, but the new rule disqualifies employers who “have a substantial illegal purpose.” The disqualifications include “aiding and abetting violations of Federal immigration laws,” “supporting terrorism or engaging in violence,” “engaging in the chemical and surgical castration or mutilation of children,” “engaging in the trafficking of children to States...

Media fig leaves and selective lawsuits: the Colorado story you’re not hearing

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project Journalistic fig leaves and defunding public media. It is common in news reports on defunding public media to have the reporter say some version or another of "conservatives accuse public media of political bias". You're welcome to your own thoughts on the matter, but I personally believe these accusations are grounded in reality. I present you a CPR article (linked at bottom) to show you why. It's an article about how some Colorado House Democrats went on a tour of the ICE facility in Aurora and their concerns/accusations. You'll see plenty of Democrats talking about their perspective on what they saw, on ICE, etc. To give you a sense of the gravity of some of the accusations, I provide you the following qu...

Votes have been bought at taxpayer expense, and the White House is lying about it, congressmen say

By Alan Wooten | The Center Square Only 40% of student loan borrowers make payments, and congressional committee leaders from North Carolina and Louisiana said Wednesday the federal report confirms the White House’s efforts to win votes at taxpayers’ expense. U.S. Reps. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., and Sen. Dr. Bill Cassidy, R-La., requested the Government Accountability Office analysis because they believed the Biden administration “has repeatedly failed to communicate to borrowers on how to transition to repayment,” a release says. Payments resumed in October 2023 after a 3½-year pause due to COVID-19. The congressional leaders – Foxx as chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and Cassidy as ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor an...
