Today is a great day for consumers across the country. The payday lending lobby tried, and failed, to disband the @CFPB. CFPB's vigilance protects consumers from unfair costs impacting millions of American families everyday.

We've created a system where, for many, higher education is only accessible through lifelong debt.
As we fight for an equitable system & economy, the first step couldn't be clearer: @POTUS—cancel student debt & help those struggling under the weight of student loans NOW!

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.
