President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

While Republicans are trying to change to Constitution to allow Trump to serve a third term, Democrats met today to talk about social media strategy and tuna melts.
Not a joke.
Democrats need to clean house. This is not a party serious about serving us.

I sure hope they won't stop it. I'm still clinging to hope.
According to the director of Columbia University’s program in Sustainability Management, the U.S. administration’s efforts to stop the energy transition “is symbolic politics.”
