The Attorney General saying the quiet part out loud: The Trump Administration's intent is to illegally "dismantle" an agency that has returned $21 billion to Americans scammed by Wall Street.
Her victory lap shows how ridiculous the court’s decision was. No one else is fooled.

This divided decision willfully ignores the Administration’s lawless attempt to destroy an agency created by Congress that has helped millions.
But the Administration cannot yet resume its illegal attempt to shut down the CFPB.

It turns out that amazon sells Plan B at this price (and sometimes lower) so you can basically get it in bulk and share. Maybe in community areas near you. Maybe at your book club, your church, or your favorite knitting store.

Costco never sold mife, but it definitely sells plan B!
and the generic is like $6
you can only buy two at a time, though
so if you were, for example, going to start stashing it in community pantries and lil free libraries
get your friends to stock up, too

This is like saying that Costco will stop selling giraffes.
Because you can’t stop selling something YOU NEVER SOLD IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Anyway, get your peanut butter pretzels and birth control at Costco.

In response to what Schumer is saying on TV:
A: The government is ALREADY SHUT DOWN. They’ve been shutting it down since Jan 20, for black people. Perhaps Chuck could acknowledge that??
B: They already have the reins of power. Chuck wants it open so he can continue playing pretend!

The absolute devastation that @chuckschumer.com is about to inflict on D.C. by supporting the GOP’s continuing resolution is hard to overstate. Massive cuts to schools and law enforcement. Teachers laid off en masse. Basic city services may grind to a halt because we *cannot spend our own money.*

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

This is correct. In addition to all the other grave consequences of this bill it essentially defunds a big chunk of local DC government.
I don’t think enough attention has been put on how services for DC residents are going to be destroyed they have to find 1$ billion dollars in their budgets from schools, police, fire, parks etc
