The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

New Yorkers: I don't care how much you (and so many of us) hate the established Democratic Party. PLEASE REGISTER AS A DEMOCRAT by this Thursday. It's the only way to vote in the mayoral and council primaries, which, as usual in NYC, is basically THE general election (in most of the city).

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

🚨 Thanks to our lawsuit, the world's richest man has been stopped from stealing your data. DOGE's unrestricted access to Treasury systems is incredibly dangerous, and this emergency order halting their access proves it. I'll never stop fighting to protect our residents.

The thing that infuriates me about mayors, governors, etc complaining about trumps actions against their jurisdictions is their resignation about what they can do in response. Federalism is an incredibly weak system! Look at how desegregation and abortion were attacked by lesser govt officials!

The bots want you to fight with them, it teaches them how to engage even better. Don’t fight that internet stranger, instead block a bot today!

AUTHORITARIAN KRYPTONITE IS NONCOMPLIANCE the only thing they have is people choosing to go along with the ruse. The minute alllllll the people busy propping up the evil say: Nah, not today, they are out of business. Decide how you’re gonna help gum up the works of harm.

You know the drill: block any CHUDs you see and move on.

Just sharing this again, because state senators are saying that private school vouchers didn't harm public school funding in other states. www.propublica.org/article/ariz...

Manhattan anti-congestion tolling is a massive success.

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.

Universal programs + progressive taxation is so much more efficient and equitable than means testing. www.vox.com/policy/39322...
