Hi. The loan freeze does not affect student loans

There’s a lot of panic here. Let’s get two things straight:

1. The EO which freezes grants is Trump’s way of trying to screw over states that cross him by denying them assistance. It’s evil. But it carves out loans to individuals, so student loans should not be affected.

2. Just like with birthright citizenship, Trump can’t do whatever he wants and SCOTUS has already shown a willingness to break from him. Trump can’t unilaterally refuse to spend money that has already been approved/ signed into law. I’m not saying he won’t try but this isn’t really his decision.

Trump likes to try to mess with lives. But don’t panic unless there’s something to panic about.
