13:31Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how Trump gutted the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program on October 30th by redefining which employers qualify, weaponizing student debt to silence lawyers working for organizations that challenge his agenda. The hosts reveal how law school tuition exceeds $70,000 annually, leaving graduates with over $200,000 in debt while PSLF allowed those dedicating 10 years to public service—making 120 qualifying monthly payments at far lower salaries—to have their loans forgiven tax-free. They detail how Trump's rule excludes employers with "substantial illegal purpose," including aiding illegal immigration, providing gender affirming healthcare for minors, and supporting terrorism—vague language targeting Planned Parenthood, Catholic Charities, campus DEI offices, the ACLU, and criminal defense lawyers representing asylum seekers or protest defendants. The attorneys explain how this changes the rules mid-game for lawyers who chose law school specifically for these organizations, potentially constituting an unconstitutional taking, while 22 states plus cities and unions sue to block the rule taking effect July 1, 2026.
