Trump just directed the DOJ to stop enforcing an anti-corruption law prohibiting corporations from bribing foreign governments. Tasked with implementing this order is none other than former corporate lobbyist, and current AG, Pam Bondi. It's open season for corruption.

DOGE's next target is the CFPB, which has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. Trump just fired its pro-consumer director and had his Treasury Secretary, a hedge fund manager, halt the CFPB's work. This is a coup against the American people.
