Trump’s education boss reveals greedy truth behind Biden’s student loan forgiveness: ‘They have profited massively’ 

Emily Crane / NEW YORK POST

President Trump’s education boss Linda McMahon has defended the administration’s decision to resume student loan debt collections — insisting that greedy colleges have “profited massively” from Biden-era forgiveness measures.

The Department of Education announced Monday it would start recouping federal student repayments again from May 5 from the roughly 5.3 million borrowers who are currently in default on their loans.

In a fiery Wall Street Journal op-ed addressing the move, the education secretary blamed the Biden administration and universities for making “empty promises to students while pocketing their loan dollars.”

“Colleges and universities call themselves nonprofits, but for years they have profited massively off the federal subsidy of loans, hiking tuition and piling up multibillion-dollar endowments while students graduate six figures in the red,” McMahon wrote. Read more here.

'Drill, Baby, Drill!' New Project Announced in the Gulf of America

Energy giant Chevron, in partnership with TotalEnergies, are wasting no time taking advantage of President Donald Trump's promotion of the oil and gas industry less than 100 days into the new administration. 

"TotalEnergies announces the start of production from the deepwater Ballymore field offshore U.S., in which the Company has a 40% interest alongside operator Chevron (60%)," TotalEnergies released Monday. 

Production will take place in the Gulf of America.  

"Located 120 kilometers off the Louisiana coast and launched in May 2022, Ballymore has a total daily gross production capacity of 75,000 barrels of oil per day and 50 million cubic feet of gas per day tied back to the Chevron operated Blind Faith floating production unit. At plateau, Ballymore will represent close to 30,000 boe/d net of cash-accretive production for TotalEnergies. The project utilizes existing infrastructure as well as standardized equipment to ensure lower development costs and lower emission intensity," the company explained.

Four More Democrats Travel to El Salvador to Champion Deported MS-13 Gang Member

In a move that perfectly captures the Democratic Party’s warped priorities, more left-wing lawmakers are traveling to El Salvador to advocate for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported illegal immigrant with alleged ties to MS-13, a history of domestic abuse accusations, and suspected involvement in human trafficking. Instead of standing with law-abiding American citizens, these Democrats are going out of their way to defend a criminal alien, proving once again that protecting the border and enforcing immigration laws are the last things on their agenda.

In addition to Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) traveling to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia, four more Democratic lawmakers have followed suit. Reps. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), Maxine Dexter (D-OR), Maxwell Frost (D-FL), and Robert Garcia (D-CA) arrived in the country on Sunday to assess the deported illegal immigrant’s condition.

Abrego Garcia was living in the United States for more than a decade before the Trump administration deported him— a move that Democrats and liberal media say was a “mistake” despite being an illegal immigrant.
