Senator Dianne Feinstein escalated her all-out war with the Trump administration this week; bizarrely slamming the Student Loan Forgiveness Program and demanding new information from Secretary Betsy DeVos.
Feinstein posted a scathing letter addressed to DeVos on social media Thursday afternoon, writing “The GAO released a report showing the Department of Education has denied loan forgiveness to an alarming 99.6% of individuals who applied to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. This is deeply troubling and we’re calling on Betsy DeVos to release more information.”

The Senator’s newest demand comes just days after she led a Democrat boycott of the Judiciary Committee; walking-out as Republicans moved to confirm a series of federal judges ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
FEINSTEIN’S NEXT FIGHT: The Senator Slams Trump’s Plan to ‘STACK THE COURT’
Sen. Dianne Feinstein settled on her next fight against the Trump administration Thursday night; slamming the White House for planning to “stack” the 9th Circuit Court without “consulting” her office.
Feinstein unloaded on the Trump administration hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee unveiled their plan to confirm upwards of 40 judges ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
“The decision to move forward on 9th Circuit nominees without consultation or responding to my acceptance of the White House’s offer reflects President Trump’s desire to stack the court. I expect my blue slips to be honored as I was acting in good faith,” posted the liberal leader.

Just days earlier, Feinstein issued another “demand” from the White House; this time requesting information regarding the administration’s decision to include citizenship status on the upcoming 2020 census.
HARRIS DEFIANT: Sen. Kamala Harris Asks Supporters to Sign Petition Against Kavanaugh
Sen. Kamala Harris shrugged off the recently released FBI report regarding Judge Brett Kavanaugh Thursday; asking her supporters to sign an online petition against the potential Supreme Court Justice.
“We need just 198,248 more people to reach our new goal of 1.5 million Americans against Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. Will you add your name right now?” asked the liberal legislator Thursday morning.

The left-wing lawmaker’s comments echo those of Senators Schumer and Feinstein; who have vowed to fight Kavanaugh’s nomination despite the FBI finding “no corroborating evidence” of sexual misconduct in the early 1980s.
