I doubt many voted for Trump (none for Musk, certainly) because they wanted to increase aircraft accidents and food poisonings while holding back medical science—let alone because they wanted to increase unemployment and shrink the economy. But that is what they are getting— what we’re all getting.

Why shutting down the CFBU matters....
The CFPB work, much of it was stopping scammy companies or fraudulent companies from preying on consumers. There are a lot of predatory lenders, debt collectors and others out there who are taking their cues from what the Trump administration is doing right now

Musk is doing to the federal government what he did once upon a time to Twitter. But this is governance, not a right-wing online social club. If X crashes, users shrug. If the government crashes, people die. The former is not good for business. The latter is extremely bad for politicians."

The big winner from all the cuts to the government has been Musk himself, who has eliminated the agencies that were scrutinizing his businesses.

We have 170 now in my Loyal Opposition Group calling our US Congress from NC - Tillis, Budd, Edwards. People are energized and know that "BAD things happen when GOOD people do nothing".

America under the Trump Administration is upside down, where the violent J6 criminals were released and considered HEROES, and the FBI investigators who did their job are now being fired and considered the VILLANS. Where is Back the Blue???
