We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Despite Elon Musk's tweets, he cannot unilaterally remove entire departments from the U.S. government that were established by legislation. This is brazenly illegal.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

Day 7 Black History Month February was chosen as Black History Month because February is the birth month of both Abraham Lincoln AND Fredrick Douglas. A man who spoke of racial injustice to a lawmaker who listened. Looking at where we are today, I find that ironic and sad #blackhistorymonth
