If you weren’t already super psyched for the Big Beautiful Bill borrowing caps making law school unaffordable for many, get ready to learn that most lawyerly public service is no longer getting loan forgiveness. Because public service itself is going to “illegal.”
The Trump administration’s ongoing war on the legal profession continues with the Department of Education releasing its finalized Public Service Loan Forgiveness rule — a process kicked off in March when Trump issued his Restoring Public Service Loan Forgiveness Executive Order — and while its impact will be felt across education, the new rule is especially brutal for law school graduates, with the DOE cutting off forgiveness to those causes it deems to be supporting “illegal activity.” And, if you hadn’t already guessed what it means to support “illegal” activity in this regime, they mean jobs like “representing immigrants” and “advocating for transgender rights.”
The people supporting this sort of thing should be shot. I’m not joking or exaggerating. They have abandoned society in its entirety and are a legitimate danger to its continued existence.
I am hoping Blue State governors form a ReUnion army. I want to properly finish Reconstruction, with my two bloodied hands. I don’t want to spend the last 40ish years of my life in a MAGA hellscape.
It will suck to fight and to do awful things, perhaps even to die horribly. But to live with the MAGAT, is to become the MAGAT.
