A federal judge in Missouri put a temporary hold on President Joe Biden’s latest student loan cancellation plan on Thursday, slamming the door on hope it would move forward after another judge allowed a pause to expire.

Just as it briefly appeared the Biden administration would have a window to push its plan forward, U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp in Missouri granted an injunction blocking any widespread cancellation.

    I was automatically enrolled in it a while back because I’m on income-based repayments, and they just keep delaying even recertification. I haven’t had to do shit with my account in years. It’s really nice honestly, because I don’t intend to repay it (I’ve never made enough to warrant a payment, under the income based plan… so fuck ‘em)

    I’m super glad you got into the infinite loop of stalling too! :) everyone should apply, when they can!

    Basically, if I understand right, they are choosing to do nothing rather than fuck it all up and collect what they shouldn’t, which they would then have to credit.
