The CFPB is the financial watchdog for the American people. The agency has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. Trump fired its director and put his treasury secretary, a Wall Street hedge fund manager, in charge. Guess what happened next...

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced. Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked. So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

Ask yourself how many government contracts Musk has. “Access to the system has historically been closely held because it includes sensitive personal information about the millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks, tax refunds and other payments from the federal government.”

Trump and his allies hope that if they keep flooding the zone with horrifying actions, we won’t notice all of them. They hope we’ll get demoralized. They hope we’ll curl into a ball and let them do whatever they want. We won’t give them the satisfaction. We’ll keep fighting back.
