🔍 No time to watch? Here’s the low-down

• 💸 Millions could get their private loans canceled
  The Education Department has canceled a ton of federal loans under the Borrower Defense rule. But private borrowers never saw any of this relief. So now, as Navient prepares to transfer 2.7 million loans to MOHELA, Senator Warren has asked Navient to cancel the private loans for borrowers who attended fraudulent schools.
