Remember that a mask does more than protect against covid. A well fitted respirator will also keep you safe from flu, measles, TB and other airborne viruses. It will keep those around you safe if you’re sick. It’s an easy way to demonstrate community care and solidarity.

I just submitted an amendment to the GOP's budget rip off that would protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from being dismantled. The CFPB has brought back $21 billion for consumers, with a budget of just $825 million. That's a pretty good return on investment.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Musk, Trump & Our Money Trump ousted a top Treasury official for blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, and federal contracts. They’re not just coming for government waste—they’re coming for our money.
