This is much worse than the quoted exchange conveys. Particularly Trump's response to Mills, "we are the federal law." Just absolute tyranny shit.

Well done Maine Governor Janet Mills, slapping Trump down with “See you in court!” This is how you do it, stand up to the bully. Trump threatens all her state’s federal funding if she doesn’t comply with his EO on trans people playing sports. He ends with personal insults. Of course.

I think acronymics might kill us all. Like, if you had to say "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility" every time instead of some bogeyman "DEI" or if people knew that the "CONSUMER FRAUD PROTECTION BUREAU" was the CFPB when Musk tries to shut down an agency investigating him.

I just received this email from Consumer Reports. The White House has shut down their consumer watchdog office which monitors big banks, credit card companies, fraud and scams. They want Americans to call their representatives act.consumerreports.org/houj19b

The agency created to protect us from the financial disasters that nearly broke the country? Shut down. No more oversight, no more consumer protections. Hope you never need fair lending, fraud protection, or accountability. The fiscal cliff is back—brace yourselves. #CFPB #RegulationMatters

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says that over the years, it has helped resolve millions of complaints from consumers, protecting Americans from various forms of financial fraud and deception. Now DOGE wants the agency gone, @lilashroff.bsky.social writes.

This is avoidable. Your child could get brain damage or die. 107,000 measles death in 2023 could have been prevented by the use of the vaccine. The vaccine has nothing to do with autism. Autism exist in the Amish communities that refuse vaccines.

“Deep cuts to agencies that account for a small fraction – just over 1% – of federal spending will not put a dent in the soaring budget deficit, but they could irreparably harm one of the nation’s most valuable enterprises.”
