Elon Musk want to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This agency is responsible for protecting Americans from predatory banking, payday lenders, and for-profit colleges.

💙 and share to let the American people know what they voted for!

Our message to the media: We are either pushing back on the slide into authoritarianism, or we are enabling it. There is no third option.

Both sides-ism is how we got here. As Christian Amanpour said: “Be truthful, not neutral.”

Chris Murphy: "Why is Donald Trump engaged in this relentless campaign to try to silence journalists, media companies, and his political opposition? It's because he's trying to steal from you."

Just a reminder that the GOP relied on the testimony of a man who just plead guilty to lying about a bribery scheme between Joe and Hunter Biden .

This was the main witness and story the GOP relied on in impeachment committee

Leaving this here for folks that think the GOP is “good” for the economy!

Per Simon Rosenberg’s simondwc.bsky.social Hopium Chronicles: “Since 1989 52 million jobs have been created in America. 50 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 36 years”!

We all could use a little good news. It’s been a while since I’ve seen any glimmers of hope or signs that our judicial system is pushing back on Trump. That changed this week. My write-up on two legal developments: https://buff.ly/4gx3jJR

“Dagger Through the Heart”: Ex-Capitol Officer Slams Trump’s Election Former Officer Harry Dunn torched Donald Trump avoiding all accountability.

Just shy of 75 million Americans voted against a second Donald Trump presidency—but the Capitol police officers who stood between the forty-fifth president’s supporters and Congress on January 6, 2021, are especially aggrieved.

Bring It On, Donald: The January 6 Committee Stands on Truth Donald Trump’s latest threat to “jail” members of the January 6 Committee is nothing more than the desperate howl of a man who knows history will regard him with shame.

Oh listen, we aren’t afraid. My response to Trumps threat:

I understand hating opinion columns, I say this as an opinion columnist, but reporting is good and if American democracy is going to survive we desperately need reporting to expose corruption.

Remember, Tulsi Gabbard claimed Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, it was “the rebels.”

Her confirmation hearing will be brutal, if she even makes it to there

FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet.

Trump getting community noted for his lie about immigrant homicides going back decades — which he insisted to @kristenwelker.bsky.social was just during Biden’s term.

She checked him on it, but caved when he went into bully mode and doubled down.

"You don't seriously condone violence in healthcare do you?"

I don't—but why do you?

While insurance corps enabled 70K preventable annual deaths—you sat silent. As they forced 500K annual medical bankruptcies—you sat silent. One CEO is killed & NOW you see violence? Interesting.

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT JOBS UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ARE TAKING?

Trump had his voters so drunk on hate, they didn’t consider the repercussions to their own lives from his mass-deportation plan. This lady lives on the border & is all out of f*cks!

“There was never a problem until Trump...”

Again, unless some can prove that DOGE is not an effort to distract from what the very expert Russ Vought is doing at CBO, I’ll assume this is kayfabe.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing. Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Number of Indictments and Convictions of Biden White House Appointees: Zero | Washington Monthly The Biden administration is one of the most ethical, least criminal federal administrations in history.

How clean is the Biden admin? No political appointee of Biden's was indicted or convicted of a crime. And no cabinet officials resigned following accusations of impropriety.

That's a remarkable ethical achievement for a presidential administration.

Our institutions don’t defend themselves, we do. Don't be distracted by Trump's chaotic appointee picks, focus because there's a long fight ahead.
