This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
The CFPB Has Been Gutted

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Lawyers who fail to stand up for other lawyers who are being targeted by the Trumpers are being very bad lawyers, in addition to being cowards. The Trump Regime is attacking the rule of law; and without the rule of law, there will not be much of a need for lawyers.
“Conway opines as to why Biglaw firms aren’t collectively working together to fight what Trump is doing and protect the legal system as we know it, and he chalks a lot of it up to cowardice.”
Trump Is Coming After Biglaw, Too Bad They're 'A Bunch Of Pussies' Just Like Republican Senators - Above the Law

To every American tuning in to Trump’s address tonight, do two things before you watch:
Check your 401k.
Check your last grocery bill, and add 25%.
No matter what the President says tonight, that’s the reality of what he’s doing to your family finances.
