At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

In a not so shocking turn of events, Trump’s plans seem chaotic and not well thought out. Trump admin has released hundreds of immigrants arrested because of lack of space. The “glimmer” - it tells me our fed courts are still respecting civil rights and the rule of law— that’s a good thing.
