Trump & the GOP have:

-Killed CFPB rules saving consumers $15B in overdraft and credit card late fees
-Dropped 22 CFPB actions against corporate lawbreakers
-Halted $100M in restitution owed to student borrowers

They're on corporate predators' side, not yours.

Freedom of the press is essential to our democracy. We urge the court to block these unconstitutional attacks on the First Amendment.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history.

This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.
