How Trumpโ€™s Hatchet Man Is Destroying Consumer Protections Russell Voughtโ€™s dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is putting the public at risk in areas ranging from auto loans and digital payments to credit cards and credit reports.

Navy Fed was set to return $80 mil to vets and others for improper overdraft fees, but Trump & Vought said no. Now that 8 Dems gave up on America, Congress will have to find some other way to get rid of Vought, restore funds and let us get back to work. #stopvought

Agree. Smells rotten.

My thought exactly!

It IS illegal. It's also complicated. Would hurting g-ice-stapo be worth Marshall Law and no more elections, as well as larger attacks? Is there even a functioning legal system anymore? I keep thinking that the Germans "should have done more," and yet here we are.

Damn, this is so powerful. MeidasTouch nailed it.

I went to college for education in the early 80's. I was taught that "whole language" was best. The focus was not on phonics. (I ended up not teaching, and I taught my kid to read using phonics and reading aloud while running my finger under the words.)

This guy has a point. I have a Republican history teacher friend, and I keep asking, "Is it Fascism yet?" He keeps coming up with one excuse or another as to why it isn't yet Fascism. (He's not thrilled with Trump but he couldn't bring himself to vote for Harris. ๐Ÿ™„)

I think the "Antifa" organization model resembles a book club. A bunch of people gather because they have something in common (dislike of Fascism.) There is nobody giving them money, and they have no overarching hierarchy.

I had to read that a couple of times. Got it.I suspect people thought the DOJ would follow through with the process. Lesson learned the REALLY hard way.

And he wonders why he didn't get the Nobel.

Ahhh... yet another reason DJT should get the Nobel. Every time I hear "Trump Derangement Syndrome," my brain processes it as "Deranged like Trump."

Another Nobel-worthy action of the Trump admin.

Of course, for MAGA, this is Nobel-worthy.

Trusted to create fake news? Is that what I just read?

So being more comfortable in the gender you weren't born into... and being against fascism are "dangerous political terrorism?" I can't....

He was born in Guyana. Best guess. The rest of it sounds made up.

Merrick Garland for sure.

I'd have to guess that about 95% of Americans who Fox and other right-leaning media call "woke libs" want only to work for a living, keep most of their money, raise their kids in peace, get a good education without school shooting incident, own a nice home, and be left alone. You know, "extremists."

It is nonsense. Spot on! It's a great way to detect AI - when the printed words in the background don't make sense. (I'm still learning too, BTW.) ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Yup! It's AI. That's one way to tell! Baby steps. I'm learning too!

Look at the seal behind him. AI is clever!

Better watch out. I bet these talking heads went to college too. Just saying...

"I was praying that it wouldn't be one of us".... That's the beginning. The rest is spot on. It does change the tone a bit.
Well....he was transparent about his hopes and wishes...

So should we regulate guns for people with mental illness then? It's so frustrating, these unnecessary deaths.

Ahhhh! Like the GOPs who shot and killed the reps in Minnesota. Gotcha!

It's tricky to navigate emotions in a calm way when the Fox hypnosis machine and Xwitter & Truth Social are pumping hate and fear, especially fear, out on the citizenry. Don't you agree?

I read it. It was just words about stuff. It made no sense. Get rid of 25 hr TV and bring back the static!
