This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

The purpose of this Order is to ensure the CFPB operates as Congress intended— fully funded and able to ensure that consumers have access to “fair, transparent, and competitive” markets for consumer financial products; not subject to ever-changing Director fiat.

NEWS: Judge rules Russ Vought's plan to defund and shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law.

I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷‍♂️

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

UFC And FBI Announce Two Days Of Activities For Kash Patel | Defector The UFC and FBI announced on Wednesday that a group of MMA fighters will visit Quantico this weekend, “to host an exclusive training seminar for academy students as well as senior FBI staff from aroun...

I don't agree with them on most issues but it's good that the administration is doing so much to get Kash the enrichment he needs. You can't just throw a kong toy filled with peanut butter in there and expect your FBI Director to be healthy! defector.com/ufc-and-fbi-...

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Delrahim mentions that as DOJ antitrust head, he successfully moved to terminate the old Paramount decrees. "I get the irony."

Armed man rammed vehicle into Michigan synagogue and was fatally shot by security, AP source says A man armed with a rifle rammed a vehicle into a major synagogue in a Detroit suburb and was fatally shot by security.

A guy rammed his car through a door at Detroit’s largest synagogue and got out with a gun and was shot by security before he could massacre everyone inside.

And yes all synagogues that can afford it have security. And yes it’s exactly because of situations like this that they do.

I knew sending Damien Thorn to negotiate peace in the Middle East was a bad idea.

“Just watching his online reporting and broadcast, you could see that he was not aligning with [Weiss’s] agenda,” a CBS source said about Scott MacFarlane. “He would not mince words when reporting about the Trump administration and January 6 or anything really.”

Indeed, check out the clip below:

Also worth noting:

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.

An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.

It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Again, this question is downstream of the fact that this war is entirely illegal under both US domestic & international law. Even if you think it is a good idea, or justified because “Iran is Very Bad & did ______,” you should still be very disturbed that a Mad King can just do this stuff now.

I keep hearing that this person or that person "were right about everything..." No one is right about everything, but Bernie has been right about a lot of things for his entire career. He keeps making the same points while the establishment keeps dismissing his ideas.

Bernie Sanders: "You pay a lot in taxes."

Leena-Kaisa Mikkola: "93% of people in Finland feel paying taxes is an important civic duty. When we pay, we get something in return. When I retire, it's guaranteed I don't have to live in poverty."

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

QUINTANILLA: Do we think the Russians have shared intel about US military assets, and if so, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions?

WITKOFF: I can tell you that on the call with POTUS, the Russians said they have not been sharing. That's what they said. We can take them at their word.
