Quick drive to Olympia this evening. Left a couple of messages for leaders, mostly asking, “Where ARE you?!” Some sweet time with my brilliant and loving preschoolers this morning helped start my nervous system off at a solid baseline but I still ended up ready to punch some N*zis. Ugh.

Trump and Elon are destroying the Social Security Administration, and without staff & offices, there will be people who can’t get their benefits—period.

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.
