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.

[Protect Borrowers @BorrowerJustice]

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!

🆕 @CRLonline released a map showing the astronomical interest rates on single-payment payday loans in the states that still allow them. #StopTheDebtTrap

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

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.
