I'm suing the Trump administration for making it harder to protect consumers by illegally trying to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Nearly 2 dozen states sue the Trump administration over funding for CFPB
The attorneys general say the Trump administration is refusing to accept funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which could hurt consumers in their states.

Trump, back in power, is bent on turning justice into his personal weapon. He pushes the DOJ to hunt Jack Smith and his “enemies,” as if ruling were just revenge. The judicial chapter may be closed, but the political war only sneers on.

AI cannot take accountability. AI cannot be “sorry.”
You have no control over the outputs of AI if you did not make it yourself, train it on very specific data sets, and create extremely rigorous control methods. Even then the safeguards are limited.
The creators must be held accountable

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

So “a million more documents” is now “roughly 5.2 million pages of Epstein files documents”
And they’re “seeking to enlist about 400 lawyers” to do doc review, which means they don’t even have the people yet to get it done
Trump & Pamela Jo are just slow-walking the shit out of violating the law.

Smith: I think who should be accountable for this is Donald Trump. These records exist because, in the case of the senators, Donald Trump directed his co-conspirators to call these people to further delay the proceedings. He chose to do that.

The plan here seems pretty clear: Deputize the right and turn right-wing cultural warriors into an occupying army.
Exclusive: ICE officials plan to spend $100 million to recruit gun-rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted ad campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy to hire thousands of officers, according to an internal document.

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine.

Trump sympathizes with how stressful it would be for Putin to have to stop killing people for a while because of how inconvenient it would be for him to resume it. This whole thing is a farce. A charade. Putin is playing Trump like the useful idiot that he is.
