President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

"Musk isn't going to obey the law, so who cares."
"The Supreme Court will just throw out the case, so who cares."
"Republicans aren't going to let us have elections, so who cares."
I'm blocking these people on sight now.
Doomerist defeatism isn't helping anyone here. Log off and touch grass.

This is exactly what we want to see from Democrats right now! There’s no excuse for Senate Democrats to be confirming any of Trump’s nominees while MAGA’s illegal power grab continues. If you’re represented by Sen. @schatz.bsky.social, be sure to thank him for fighting back against President Musk.

Erica is utterly brilliant and this is a gift worth opening.
I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...
