The homepage of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s website was updated Friday night to display a “Page not found” error message. This change occurred just one day after members of Musk’s team gained access to the bureau’s headquarters and computer systems.

By illegally neutering the National Labor Relations Board, Trump has enabled Jeff Bezos to ignore the union victory at Whole Foods in Philadelphia.

Trump has given the green light to corporations to violate labor law with impunity. Unacceptable. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Whole Foods says Trump’s actions make union win moot
Amazon’s Whole Foods says Trump’s firings that paralyzed a federal labor regulator invalidate a union vote at a Philadelphia store.

YES!!! We need more brave people like this and we need to somehow protect them.
An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

When millions of struggling workers want to join unions, Trump's decision to neuter the NLRB is blatantly illegal. It is also a huge gift to Musk, Bezos & other billionaires who want to abolish the only federal agency that can stop their union busting.

Trump firings at labor board threaten union win at Whole Foods – and beyond
Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia voted to unionize early this week but may be stuck in limbo due to President Donald Trump firing leaders at a federal labor regulator.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

Remember how I said to keep an eye on Republican Bill Cassidy?

Watch his opening statement. (🧵)

This is personal for him.

Louisianans, contact your Senator & urge him to vote against RFK Jr.

He’s hearing from many RFK Jr. supporters — he needs to hear from you.

Sen. Hassan’s tearful statement to RFK Jr. was the most powerful moment yet. As she spoke of her 36-year-old son with cerebral palsy and the guilt she once felt, she made clear: science isn’t the enemy—it’s how we move forward.

The truth saves lives.

Elon Musk thinks HE won the election and gets to be the autocrat. Fascist and delusional to the core.

Gorgeous shot!
This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.
