NEW: In addition to her sex offender waiver, Ghislaine Maxwell has an “out” designation that would allow her to leave the facility for work assignments. Some work assignments for FPC Bryan inmates are at Texas A&M University which is just 6 miles away. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

The effects of the House’s proposed “Medicaid cuts to pay for tax cuts” in one graph: a 3.9% boost in income for the top 1% of households and a 7.4% reduction in income for the bottom fifth of households. In two words: class warfare. www.epi.org/blog/the-hou...

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees.

The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually.

The GOP is the party of junk fees.
Banks Approve of Republicans Increasing Bank Fees
A Biden-era CFPB rule limiting overdraft fees is under challenge, and lawmakers used bank lobbyists for their testimonials.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was:

* first awarded under Trump
* paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom
* for researching *defenses* against deception
* not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

Despite the false claims from Trump and his GOP minions, the truth is clear: FEMA has been there for North Carolina.

The idea of cutting or eliminating FEMA is outrageous. Thanks to FEMA and local governments, North Carolina is on the road to recovery.

Between unprovoked and foolish trade wars, threatening our allies, eliminating foreign aid, gutting our civil service, preparing to weaken the intel community and FBI, placing inexperienced clowns in key nat sec positions, and supporting our enemies’s agenda, we are weaker by far today than on 1/19.
