‘One of the dumbest ideas’: Abolishing the FDIC could backfire on Trump and his allies | CNN Business The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was created during the Great Depression to restore trust in a financial system shaken by the failure of thousands of banks.

Luckily, it would require Congress, and that's not likely to happen.

Here's an article from last year discussing the issue:

But your point is well taken. Part of Project 2025 is to further deregulate the banking industry, which will ultimately hurt everyday folks.

Big mistake, piggy! Big mistake!

So true!

…this will be a long hard slog!
Stay ready ❤️💙

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

Mike Johnson will be FURIOUS when we force a vote on extending ACA tax credits.

Good. Let’s get it done:

This is interesting and relevant! If Trump has his way he’ll undo all the safeguards in place around banking and take us back to the 1920’s - all by executive order.

in roughly 37% of cases for minorities but only 6% of Whites. That’s a real example of the bias in AI today, and only one! Before we put big brother in chair AI I’d like a lot more development and certainty about it!

Two things would be interesting here. 1st have Trump define just what AI is. 2nd finding out who sold what to who. I’m not saying AI hasn’t made great progress in some areas. But there are more areas where it has NOT than where it has. AI gets facial recognition wrong

That’s correct! These MF’s never stop until someone somehow forces them to stop. Look around at all the accusations, the evidence against many, and realize that as long as they are free to do what they want, they will continue to do so!

Quite a set of fines for Elon! Go get ‘im EU!

I don’t have anything against anyone of any political party per se. So hurray for these R’s that have the spine to stand up for what’s right! What I am against is the stench of stupidity coming from Trump and these right-wing extremists threatening democracy, our country, and in fact the world.

I don’t remember the last time I posted on X. On advice I didn’t delete my account. I was told that X allows others to pick up the “handles” etc from deleted accts. If they do, they can make it look like you’re posting whatever. This doesn’t mean someone won’t do similar things anyway. But…

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says, "we must be ready for the scale of war our parents and great-grandparents endured"

Is this productive? Perhaps rather arm Ukraine now - cut the RU dragon’s head.

If he thinks getting a photo-op of him ranting with a couple hundred people will convince the millions of the rest of us that our grocery prices are not higher then he better get another of those cognitive tests!

Stay strong and loud! The more success we have the harder they will fight and nastier they will get. Together we can win!

Spot on

Screenshot of a tweet by Senator Mark Warner saying, “So they can seize an oil tanker, but not a drug boat?” Below is a news headline reading “US seizes oil tanker off Venezuela bound for Cuba,” with a photo of Donald Trump speaking in front of a Venezuelan flag.

Exactly.

True

I’m going to throw this out… I’ve gotten sick and tired of all the things Trump wants but the only way he can get them, because no one else wants them, is by EO… we need a way to limit what a mad man can do with no authority or oversight by writing it down and calling it an “executive order”!

The kid never had a chance.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Ahhh…

Not such a mystery… no one from those countries wants to come here and live more poorly, be less healthy, and be unhappy!

Vote all the bastards out! If they aren’t doing the job they’re out. Let them all know “We the People” are watching! Stay strong and loud!

He’s gonna need a lot bigger concentration camp! Remember there are more of us than MAGA. And st some point they’ll prove they’re just loud mouthed idiots! Stay strong!

make many of these people start listening! We can’t give up!
