After Nancy Mace's explosive speech on the House floor, she encouraged Americans to call a new "victim hotline" set up by her office. But advocates and experts in her district are sounding the alarm: Do not call this a "hotline." In fact, they warn, it's best not to call it at all.

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 Elon’s effort to eliminate it is that Americans will have no recourse when they’re screwed over by a bank.

His next move is to declare martial law. I was at CPAC. I was at January 6. I filmed Michael Flynn at Rod of Iron. He’s putting them all in once They’re breaking the laws so they can declare a national emergency and then it’s over so I don’t know what you guys have to do but you better do it soon.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Three things: 1. This is a nonsense inquiry and basically all this Trump minion has got. Not impressed. 2. NPR gets less than 1 percent of direct funding from the feds. This will impact local stations, which have broad support. 3. Brendan is an unctuous toady. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...

Dems should not allow anything to move in the House or Senate until this is dealt with. Dem have the power in both chambers to jam up the works, and they need to use it. That isn't a radical tactic, it's what the GOP has done for years for trivial matters. Unlike this, which is catastrophic.
