Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does.

So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose.

No paywall. Please read & share:

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:

Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984

Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.

Barron was born in March 2006

Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.

Trump’s entire family would be deported.

BREAKING:

Two elementary school children were shot in a school shooting in Northern California before the gunman took his own life.

The incident occurred around 1 p.m. at Feather River School.

The condition of two children is unknown.

Fuck every lawmaker whose votes made this possible.
