Why are women the ones who always stand up to Trump & his admin? Cause moms are used to being the ones who put little boys in their place.

Trump is reportedly looking to shrink the FDIC and consolidate it into other govt agencies. The FDIC was created during the Depression to protect bank deposits. This would come after Trump and DOGE shuttered the CFPB, which protects us from financial fraud. See the pattern?

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

If I hacked your computer and stole your SSN and bank info, I’d be in handcuffs before I could hit ‘enter.’ But when Elon and his buddies do it, somehow it’s ‘patriotism?!’ Make it make sense.

Why do Trump and his billionaire bankrollers want to “delete” the CFPB? Fewer watchdogs means more opportunities for you to get scammed — leading to more money for them.

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION, YET?! 👇 The Pentagon expelled NYT, Politico, NPR, CNN, Washington Post, NBC, and The Hill from their offices, replacing them with right-wing outlets like Breitbart, OAN, Newsmax, and the Daily Caller.. This is what a totalitarian, government-controlled media looks like.

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.
