Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Under court order, Trump administration agrees to fund beleaguered consumer financial watchdog
Citing a court order, President Donald Trump's budget director on Friday asked the U.S. Federal Reserve to supply $145 million to fund the operations of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, ending an 11-month stretch during which the White House had starved the agency of funds and warned staff could be let go and many operations suspended as result.
