Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20 billion to victims of financial fraud.

For every $1 in funding for the CFPB, more than $4 has been placed back in consumers’ pockets.

Elon Musk doesn't want you to know that it's one of the most efficient government agencies we have.

If you're writing about how and why things are getting harder for Americans, remember - simple words reach more people. Your message only matters if people can understand it.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."

When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

Remember when everyone knew Nazis were the bad guys? Indiana Jones knew it. Captain America knew it. Our grandparents knew it so well they crossed an ocean to fight them. Even Magneto, a literal supervillain, was clear about Nazis being evil. Weird how it’s suddenly up for discussion.

Our grandparents and great-grandparents made profound sacrifices fighting against fascism to preserve democracy and human dignity. Witnessing a Nazi salute at a U.S. Presidential Inauguration is an affront to their legacy and everything they fought to protect.

When wealth becomes concentrated in too few hands, it weakens the foundations of democracy. The answer lies in strong civic institutions, transparent governance, and equal justice under law... but those seem to be on an extended vacation lately.

The fairies took TikTok last night and left this changeling in its place. It looks the same but something's... off. #deleteTiktok #sayNoToFascism

If you still have a TikTok account now that it’s back, why? Delete it!! Nothing good comes from government overreach. The last 24 hours have been a circus and I’m done being manipulated.

Someone said TikTok was back so I checked. My single video I can see is Howie Mandel dancing to I’ll Do It by Heidi Montag. Speidi algorithm working overtime. #spencerpratt #heidimontag
