The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people.

The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.

It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!
So much for free speech, especially for education.
Translation from sociopathic- "Despicable to mention "inappropriate" because graft is what we do."

Although I don't talk about Great Green Macaws in this blog post, they do merit Mega bird status. What exactly is a Mega in birder lingo (yeah, there is lingo...)? Which Mega birds have been seen recently in Costa Rica?
Find out in the link.

Recent Mega Birds in Costa Rica
What's a mega bird? Aren't all birds intrinsically mega? Who invented the "mega" term anyways? Alas, as with much of the birding-associated lexicon, we'll probably never know who that unintended mover...

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.👇
A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Within the legal community, every conceivable alarm bell is ringing.

And all of them are too late.

America has no meaningful federal law enforcement anymore. It has Trump personal lawyers and a Trump political machine that masquerades as rule of law. There *is* no DOJ or FBI now.

Please share.
Both the Lindsey Halligan Nomination and the New James Comey Indictment Confirm That the DOJ and FBI Functionally No Longer Exist As Law Enforcement Agencies
The crisis at the FBI and DOJ is over; rule of law lost. The reality now is that Trump has a domestic army for his paramilitary ops (ICE) and a domestic army for his partisan law enforcement ops.

Ensuring that Medals of Honor are retained for soldiers who have committed war crimes is unbelievably disgraceful. I know he won't do it but he needs to resign.
I swear, what the hell is wrong with this guy and his fricking laugh?
RIP. A great actor and from Six Nations, a place connected to friends and extended family.

Bcuz he lies as he breathes, bcuz he lies a thousand times every day, and bcuz he’s been doing this forever, the media no longer calls him out on his lies. They stopped doing that a long time ago. Shame on the media. They’ve normalized his lying. They’ve let him destroy truth.
Ridiculous to have this conspiracy fool on any reputable news outlet.
It is cool and a good way to practice languages one is learning or attempting to retain. I use Spanish and English every day but also think in French and Italian, mostly to retain and learn more vocabulary.
The recent star bird in Costa Rica has been a Yellow-billed Tern. Normally found in South America, this is the fourth record for the country.

Thankfully, it's at an accessible site and has stayed around lots of local birders to see it.

Twitchable Yellow-billed Tern in Costa Rica
This past week in Costa Rica, we've been nicely struck with good fortune by the birding powers that be. A Yellow-billed Tern somehow came here and, even better, it has stayed long enough for birders t...

Removing restraints on carcinogenic pollution that we also need to curb now to prevent our children and grandchildren from living an apocalyptic future is criminal negligence of the highest order. All so fossil fuel interests (the folks responsible) can make more millions more.
