Tweet - "Lowering costs for families is one of our Administration's top priorities. Under our Inflation Reduction Act, households can now save up to 30% on home energy efficiency improvements. Learn more at http://CleanEnergy.gov."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| Jan. 14, 2023
|
Tweet - "Our student debt relief plan would allow more than 40 million Americans to breathe easier, getting folks who need it up to $20,000 in relief. Republican officials are standing in the way. This Administration doesn't back down that easy--we're fighting back in the Supreme Court."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Dec. 10, 2022
|
Tweet - "Think about working for 50 years, tracking every dollar and securing your retirement. Then, you lose half of that pension through no fault of your own. That's why we signed the Butch Lewis Act, to protect the union pensions so many sacrificed to secure."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Dec. 9, 2022
|
Tweet - "By including the "Butch-Lewis Act" in the American Rescue Plan, we shored up the pension plans for millions of union workers. It represents the most significant investment in pension security for union workers and retirees in the past 50 years."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Dec. 1, 2022
|
Tweet - "Republican officials are throwing up roadblocks in order to prevent middle-class families from getting the student debt relief they need. We are taking our case to the Supreme Court. Today, they announced that they'll hear it in February. We will keep fighting."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Nov. 22, 2022
|
Tweet - "I'm confident that our student debt relief plan is legal. But it's on hold because Republican officials want to block it. That's why @SecCardona is extending the payment pause to no later than June 30, 2023, giving the Supreme Court time to hear the case in its current term."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Nov. 18, 2022
|
Tweet - "Unfair, hidden fees known as "junk fees" take real money out of the pockets of American families. Things like banking overdraft fees and excessive credit card late fees -- they add up. My Administration is making it clear that they're illegal."
|
Pres. Joe Biden

|
| Nov. 4, 2022
|
Tweet - "There are 16 million Americans who will have their student debt relief applications approved by the Department of Education by the end of this week. They won't be able to get their relief because Republican officials are standing in the way."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 26, 2022
|
Tweet - "We're cracking down on hidden "junk" fees like surprise overdraft and deposit fees, credit card late fees, hidden hotel booking fees. Even those termination charges that stop you from switching cable and internet plans to get a better deal. They add up. We're taking action."
|
Pres. Joe Biden

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 25, 2022
|
Tweet - "The same Republicans in Congress who received hundreds of thousands -- even millions -- of dollars in pandemic relief are doing everything they can to oppose student loan debt relief for working Americans. I don't want to hear it."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 25, 2022
|
Tweet - "If you have student loan debt, you can apply for relief at http://StudentAid.gov. There are no forms to upload and no special log-in to remember. It takes less than five minutes."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 25, 2022
|
Tweet - "Republican governors wrote me a letter saying student debt relief only helps the "elite few." Ted Cruz, the great senator from Texas, said it's for slackers who don't deserve relief. Who in the hell do they think they are?"
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|

|
Kamala Harris
|
| Sept. 24, 2022
|
Tweet - "In 2020, young voters told us they wanted college to be more affordable--knowing they can graduate without being burdened by student loan debt. @JoeBiden announced a plan to cancel up to $10,000 of student loan debt, and if students are a Pell Grant recipient, up to $20,000."

|
Kamala Harris
|
| Sept. 20, 2022
|
Tweet - "There's too much dark money flowing in the shadows of our politics. The DISCLOSE Act ensures groups that run issue ads to influence elections will have to disclose contributions above $10,000. And foreign entities would be banned from making any contributions for these ads."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 20, 2022
|
Tweet - "Dark money erodes public trust. We need to protect public trust--and I'm determined to do that. Republicans should join Democrats to pass the DISCLOSE Act and get it to my desk right away."

Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 4, 2022

|
Kamala Harris
|
| Aug. 29, 2022
|
Tweet - "As a part of my announcement to get relief to Americans with student debt, I'm holding colleges accountable for jacking up costs without delivering value to students. My predecessor looked the other way. My Administration is taking them on."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 28, 2022
|
Tweet - "Like we promised, our Administration is prioritizing the middle class. Nearly 90% of our student loan debt relief goes to borrowers earning less than $75,000 a year."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| Aug. 27, 2022
|
Tweet - "My Administration is focused on making the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program work for the millions of Americans who are public school teachers, police officers, members of the military, and more. Go to http://PSLF.gov before October 31 to see if you qualify."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 26, 2022
|
Tweet - "As many as 43 million borrowers can benefit from my Administration's student loan debt relief plan. Nearly 45% can have their loans fully cancelled. That's 20 million people."

Remarks by President Biden Announcing Student Loan Debt Relief Plan
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 25, 2022
|
Tweet - "Yesterday, we put out a plan to bring relief to millions of working and middle-class people with student loans. We're keeping my campaign promise and forgiving up to $10,000 of federal student loan debt for individuals making less than $125,000 a year."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 25, 2022
|
Tweet - "To those Republicans in Congress who believe student debt shouldn't be forgiven: I will never apologize for helping America's middle class -- especially not to the same folks who voted for a $2 trillion tax cut for the wealthy and giant corporations that racked up the deficit."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 25, 2022
|
Tweet - "No one should have to give up their financial stability to access the health care they need. Our Administration is fighting to make sure that Americans with medical debt can still access federal loans to buy a home, grow a farm, or start a business.'
|
Kamala Harris
|
| Aug. 25, 2022
|
Tweet - "The burden of student loan debt is especially heavy for Black and Hispanic borrowers who on average have less family wealth to rely on to pay for college. And the pandemic only made things worse. This relief helps to narrow the racial wealth gap and advance racial equity."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 24, 2022
|
Tweet - "Today, my Administration is meeting my campaign commitment with targeted debt relief to folks from families who need it most. If you received a Pell Grant while in college and make less than $125,000 a year, you are eligible for up to $20,000 in debt reduction."
