President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

"Musk isn't going to obey the law, so who cares."

"The Supreme Court will just throw out the case, so who cares."

I'm blocking these people on sight now.

Senate Dems still don't get it. 22 just YES on another Trump nominee. Where TF is the fight?

Bennet, Blumenthal, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Gallego, Gillibrand, Hassan, Heinrich, Hickenlooper, Kaine, Kelly, Klobuchar, Luján, Ossoff, Peters, Rosen, Schiff, Shaheen, Slotkin, Warnock, Welch.

As COVID precautions vanish, people with disabilities struggle with safety and isolation The pace of COVID fatalities in the U.S. has slowed significantly, with the nation’s death toll standing at more than 1 million people. With precautions like mandatory masking no longer in place, it…

"The person next to you, you don't know what chronic condition you don't have...You giving them COVID could be literally life or death. So I would implore people to think about community when they wear a mask instead of thinking about themselves."
