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
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

Today I did a cyber security panel taping for @onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social and @avindman.bsky.social and I discussed the attack we both get from Musk online (his are worse than mine). Both of us ignore it and this epic quote explains why.

And all the apologists talking about how Zuck is getting a divorce or whatever, note that Priscilla is just as much of a complicit enabler as Melania. She thinks her immigrant refugee parents are garbage who should have been denied asylum, and that she shouldn’t be a citizen.
Today, Sheryl Sandberg posted about the death of Cecile Richards, former head of Planned parenthood.
Mark Zuckerberg posted he was “optimistic and celebrating” alongside a photo of him and his wife attending Trump’s inauguration celebration in DC.
