Imagine if every day, each person in America was kind to or helped just one person. Every day. Imagine the impact that would have on our country. Just one act, every day. Like a pebble on a lake.

American Academy of Pediatrics loses HHS funding after criticizing RFK Jr.
HHS cuts key AAP grants, citing concerns about “identity-based language” and insufficient focus on agency priorities. The organization said the cuts could harm child health.

There’s so much going on at any given time you may not have heard this. But this change would have significant impact on loan rates for women and minorities. This regime hates women and minorities and will do everything it can to make it worse for anyone who isn’t a white male.
Trump Administration Proposal to Gut ECOA Would Resurrect Lending Hurdles for Women, Black People, Veterans, and Native Americans
Proposed Rule Would Decimate Fair Lending Protections and Make Buying a Car or Home Harder

Price gouging.
So I went #CVS today to get a refill of a #Roc #retinol serum stick I use. It was a whopping $11 more than the last time I bought it. $41! 37% more. AYFKM? There’s no way you can convince me this is legit. CVS & #Bridgepoint / Roc are #pricegouging consumers. Sending this to NJAG.
