Thank you Lawrence O'Donnell for focusing on the crucial work of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Without this crucial consumer watchdog, Americans will be more vulnerable to scams and will face higher costs.

Attention working-class Americans:
Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security.
Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.”

North Carolina will be sued.
The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Why do Trumpers want to abolish the Department of Education? Because it’s in charge of prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race and sex in schools that get federal funding, a policy Congress set in 1975 through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
