If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Inflation heated up more than expected in January, as prices for groceries, housing and energy all rose for Americans in early 2025, complicating President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Yes. Eliminating CFPB will hurt thousands of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. Over 400,000 have called CFPB since it started. They just recently got over $80M returned to members of Navy Federal Credit Union for illegal overdrafts. Now they shut it down for the rich people.
🚨FYSA: The CFPB is being shut down—a direct hit to Veterans and Military families.
It protected those who've served from predatory lenders and shady fees, returning billions to those wronged.
Now, that’s over.
Republicans say they support the Troops—it'd be nice if they showed it.

My phone seems a bit naked without Gmaps, but so it is.
I actually preferred the way software used to be, instead of apps that download tiles, we used to have software that stored all the files locally, like DeLorme Streets & Maps. My phone has more storage than the computer I ran that on too.
