A judge just blocked Elon Musk and co-president Donald Trump from firing the financial cops at the CFPB who protect consumers from Wall Street scams.

There's power in fighting back.
Judge temporarily halts mass firings at CFPB, preserves agency data
The order also blocks acting CFPB Director Russ Vought from taking steps to defund the agency.

Oh boy, who's excited for Super Bowl LIX?

Wait, more specifically, who's excited to spend all day saying "Super Bowl LIX" out loud at every opportunity? "Boy, what a great showing here at Super Bowl LIX!" or maybe some "wow, this really is Super Bowl LIX!"

A bright light in a dark moment: The price of the critical TB drug bedaquiline has now dropped to $90 per adult treatment course for TB, a 54% reduction since just 2023.

This is a huge win for @tbfighters.org and the TB activism community generally. www.stoptb.org/what-we-do/f... (1/2)...

I'm a reporter at NBC News and I'm interested in speaking with people who are familiar with the specific technical details of onboarding DOGE staff at the federal agency level — USAID or CFPB or wherever. You can reach me on Signal at: davidingram.77. I can honor requests for anonymity.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I was speaking at a college today and several professors came up to me and were like, "I loved your brother's video about expertise."
And I was like, "the one where he was like 'you motherfuckers need to sit down?'"
and they were like, "yeah that one."

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"
