[BREAKING] @AFTunion@theSBPC have accused student loan giant @MOHELA of illegal student loan servicing, demanding the company end its scheme to block Biden's effort to #CancelStudentDebt.
Today's action comes 24 hours before right-wing Missouri @AGEricSchmitt heads to federal court on behalf of @MOHELA, asking a judge to halt debt cancellation for 40M Americans.
The injury MOHELA allegedly suffered?
"Imminent loss of revenue" because millions are debt-free.

Six Republican state AGs sued to block Biden from canceling student debt.
They claim "standing" because their states-- SC, KS, IA, NE, AR, MO -- own old federal loans or back state-chartered student loan companies.
For as long as I've been in DC, companies like Missouri's student loan company @MOHELA and their lobbyists at @ncher_us@EFCTweets@SLSAorg fought tooth & nail to keep people trapped in debt and shield industry from justice.
Why do they have power? Why do they exist at all?

This amazing @aarthiswami piece digs deep into a predatory lending scheme run by @LifeAtPurdue & some mysterious bankers. 👇
It's been a big few days of back-to-back scandals in the #studentloan market, but this one deserves special attention.
Mounting evidence shows that Purdue's attention-loving president @purduemitch- former Republican governor & party hack- sold out students to pursue a right-wing fever dream.
Unfortunately for Mitch, @LifeAtPurdue broke a bunch of laws on the way. Now the walls are closing in.
