Short explanation of what the deal is with "affordability" in the housing ballot proposals, since people have lots of questions - mainly stemming from the fact that our existing system is so complicated to begin with! (Explanation first, some personal commentary after)

There's a particular kind of doomer on here who's like "and then SCOTUS will install him as president for a third term, and the military will back him up" as if that's the end of history.

Friend, there's still an "and then" after that.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

A dog sits near a tall shoe rack filled with various types of shoes in a room with wooden flooring. All shoes are stacked on high shelves, out of the dog’s reach.

“Guys, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe I’m sensing a lack of trust here, and frankly, it hurts my feelings.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

courageous to stand proud in his faith and directly address the islamophobia on the eve of early voting. this is what leadership and integrity looks like.

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

A photo of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib with union representatives from CFPB Union NTEU 335. The caption on the image says, "Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib signs Stop Vought petition! Sign the petition: www.change.org/StopVought"

A photo of unions marching on May Day 2025, with "Workers over billionaires," "AFGE" and "Solidarity, CFPB Union NTEU 335" displayed prominently with the text "STOP VOUGHT" over it. A photo of Vought is next to it with headlines about him, including "GOP Senator says Vought has been dreaming of shutdown situation since puberty"

Calls to STOP VOUGHT are getting louder. We're thrilled to announce Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib as the 1st member of Congress to sign the #StopVought petition!

Join her! Sign the petition to stop Russ Vought's corporate takeover of our democracy: www.change.org/StopVought

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

But secondly, I actually thought it was interesting to see the range of demands and what motivated people to come out on Saturday

Like some people's signs said abolish ICE, some said leave queer kids alone, some said stop funding genocide, some said stop stealing medical research funding, etc etc

I’m less concerned about part of the White House being torn down, and more concerned about the fact that it’s being replaced with a $250m privately funded ballroom. I don’t think people who intend to leave office in 3 years typically spend a quarter of a billon on a 4 year construction project.

Russell Vought, Trump’s Shadow President From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russell Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that inside...

While scheming to close the CFPB, Shadow President Russell Vought has let companies keep $18 BILLION owed to consumers and spent $5 million of CFPB’s funds on personal bodyguards. Check out this profile:

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Join AFGE members in NY + PHL on 7/9 as they demand an end to the political retaliation against 139 EPA workers put on admin. leave, b/c they signed a letter demanding their boss protect America's health + our environment. Read the Declaration of Dissent: standupforscience.net/epa-declaration

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

New filing in NTEU v Vought has *19* declarations from both names and pseudonymous CFPB staff, detailing how Trump admin is still trying to delete the CFPB:

What happened to Mahmoud Khalil should not happen to anyone in this country. I believe in a free Palestine. I believe in the human rights of Palestinians. But even if I did not agree with his views, even if he had a different ideology, I would still believe that he has the right to disagree freely.

The antidote to fear = acceptance of the fear + action. People often think you will act when courage finds you, but the truth is you must accept that you will be afraid and act anyway. That is how courage is made. You do not stop being afraid and in fact courage is only possible in the face of fear.

Some people are having trouble getting to the press release from the CFPB -- here it is

Boss made a dollar
I made a dime
It was a simpler,
More natural, time.
