They're right.

The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people.
The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.
It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

Another day of reminding everyone that: "If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve.
This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme.
