Russ Vought loses in court yet again! The full DC Circuit vacated a panel decision that could have permitted Vought to dismantle the CFPB. Amidst an affordability crisis, today’s ruling is a necessary and timely win for CFPB workers and the everyday Americans we serve.

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

My book #Strongmen turns 5 today! The paperback edition, with a new epilogue on January 6, is now 4. The book built a large readership gradually and became a New York Times bestseller in Nov. 2024. Thank you to all who read it and share its warnings about what such leaders do to societies.

This is a response from a confident, non-threatened, democratic (small"D") America-loving President.
Let’s be clear, GOP feel entitled to control & be in every aspect of your life as their religious imperative from GOD! GOP want to be in your bedroom & dr’s office with bans on birth control, abortion, IVF & vaccines; everywhere from home to work banning free speech, books, education, culture!

Russ Vought wrote the anti-union executive order that says Trump has the power to unilaterally cancel your union contract.

Without Russy pulling the strings, Trump would be signing his little doodles all day instead. We can #StopVought: www.change.org/StopVought

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.
