Real quick as I'm losing steam: dismantling CFPB puts consumers in a worse position than they were in 2008. The consumer protection laws were still being enforced by the Fed and other agencies, just not particularly well. Now the signal is they won't be enforced at all.

Lot of people dunking on this clip, but Murkowski, asked for advice for people who are afraid to speak up, acknowledges that she shares that fear. But she then says it's "not right" that people are made to be afraid of retaliation for speaking up, and says it won't stop her from doing her job.

Imagine being so brainwashed in reactionary centrism you don't know our next election - IF there is one - is 18 months away. Imagine not realizing that come election, markets, wallets, investments will still be trashed. Imagine believing humans shipped to concentration camps isn't worth raising.

You remember that movie whose marketing said they didn't "rely" on "CGI" and the actors breathlessly talked about the practical effects and no green screens? Guess what. They relied on digital visual effects to make the movie. Yep, that movie. And the other one, too. And the other one, too.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
