The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

You need to get these vaccines NOW y’all.

Your insurance only covers what the guidelines SAY TO COVER.

RFK Jr. is about to be in charge of the guidelines and is allowing fake “studies” and pseudoscience to guide MEDICINE.
You can also get a measles, mumps, rubella booster at your pharmacy, and, with a prescription, you can get a polio booster. (CVS does all of them).
TDAP also needs to be done every 10 years.
BLACK PEOPLE:

Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy has indicated he will vote for RFK Jr. which means he will be confirmed.

Listen to me: look at your immunization records. You can request them. You have a right to them. GET YOUR BOOSTERS.

- TDap
- pneumonia
- COVID
- shingles (for the elders)

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

Yes. Former Treasury and OMB officials explained to me in detail what sort of power Elon Musk has now been granted. They described it as akin to having his hands on a series of spigots that he can now turn on and off:

I didn't watch "Atlanta" when it first came out. I regret that decision. Over the past three weeks, I've binge-watched the entire series and finished today's last episode. It is undoubtedly the best television series ever—masterful in every way. Start this month if you haven't watched it. #blacksky

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon

“I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:

"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"

And see what happens.
REPORTER: Are you saying this crash was somehow was the result of diversity hiring?

TRUMP: It just could have been
