Trump & the GOP have:
-Killed CFPB rules saving consumers $15B in overdraft and credit card late fees
-Dropped 22 CFPB actions against corporate lawbreakers
-Halted $100M in restitution owed to student borrowers
They're on corporate predators' side, not yours.

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good.
Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year.
So much for all that talk about "efficiency."

Households in the top 5%, with incomes over $320,000, would receive roughly HALF of the benefits of extending Trump's expiring tax cuts.
How are Republicans planning to pay for this?
With massive cuts to programs that the rest of America relies on.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.
When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
