WASHINGTON, D.C. – This weekend marked a number of hundred-day milestones from the Trump administration’s failed response in March to the COVID-19 pandemic. Just over one hundred days later, student borrowers and working Americans are continuing to feel the harsh consequences of the administration’s failure to support them through this public health and economic crisis.

Saturday marked 100 days since the U.S. became the global hotbed for coronavirus cases — a distinction we have not been able to shake as we set the record for the seven-day average COVID-19 case total for the 27th day in a row and hit single-day records for cases four times. Sunday marked 100 days since the CARES Act became law — an effort that the Trump administration has continued to fumble through slow distribution of funds, stimulus checks sent to dead people, and loads of money sent to public corporations intended for small businesses.

    • Millions of Americans have lost employment every week since the pandemic started ravaging the nation’s economy.
    • After months of botched execution, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) created through the CARES Act has given a tax infusion to wealthy, well-connected, publicly-traded companies looking to pay their executives, while actual small businesses trying to pay their employees have been shut out entirely.
