In 2017, Trump gave a $2 trillion tax cut mostly sucked up by billionaires and big corporations.
But it was so expensive, Republicans set many of their tax cuts to end after 2025.
Now, Republicans want to steal from working people to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

A lower court had ordered the reinstatement of Hampton Dellinger, a lawyer confirmed last year for a five-year term. This case is the first of Trump’s flurry of orders to reach the Supreme Court. The Court’s decisions could further fuel calls for term limits, as America is fed up.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which oversees government whistleblower protections and enforces certain ethics laws.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter
The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

The problem is you assume they want to "engage and have reals discussions on real issues." They don't. When confronted with facts, data, science, actual laws, and the like, they resort to spewing lies, disinformation and hate.

Trump knee-capped the CFPB during his first term because Republicans have a religious hatred for not being allowed to scam and defraud.
Elon's interest in canceling the CFBP is just icing on the cake.

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB?
Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors.

This is a dangerous move by the Administration that will hurt consumers for the benefit of special interests.
