apnews.com/article/trum... Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been a huge success. That’s why the rapist-felon grifter hates it. Makes his scamming harder.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Incredibly helpful—and concerning—thread.

GOP Gospel: "Love your billionaire neighbor as yourself. Screw everyone else." This is literally the kind of stuff that makes Jesus weep.

McConnell was a thoroughly despicable person long before T***p emerged from the black lagoon. turns out, McConnell is just a fraction of an ounce less despicable than his GOP colleagues & a full ounce less despicable than T***p. in Hades, that will assure him a slightly higher berth.

Trump’s America ~ Inflation up 3% Four airplane crashes. Putin is still slaughtering innocent Ukrainian civilians. And no one knows who the actual president is.

Trump: “Russia fought for that land in Ukraine and lost a lot of soldiers doing it, so Russia should keep it.” By Trump's logic today, Canada should invade a part of US. Lose a lot of soldiers, and so they should just keep it. Reward occupation and illegal wars.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Susan Collins, who's running for re-election in 2026 in what should be a good cycle for Democrats, in a state Kamala Harris won, just voted to confirm Vought.

Trump will decide someone is a criminal (Elon will manufacture something from the data he's stealing), ship them off and they will disappear. No accountability in foreign prisons.
