A few days ago Trump decides to offer 50 year mortgage.
Today he’s declaring the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to be illegal
Their job? Protect people from predatory lending & scammers
They’re returned more than $21 billion to scammed Americans, so of course Trump shuts them down

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

But it’s weird the only people talked about an empty suit type moderate and a fool (and/or cryptofascist) in race that 1) has six other democrats running and 2) time before the filing deadline

They are charging a congressional candidate because she has been protesting the ICE facility and their continued violation of the civil and human rights of the people ICE kidnapped off the streets.
The courts should not be allowed to used to silence those who are speaking out against ICE

Since the GOP's treasonous bill removes subsidies of the Affordable Care Act, average Americans are expected to pay over a 100% increase in monthly insurance fees next year. This is why Democrats can't bend to MAGA House demands. Our nation's health depends on their holding the line.

No one will step up to fight for a living wage, healthcare, disability supports or education.

This is exactly how I feel about Bari Weiss at CBS News. If she turns it into a functioning conservative outlet, she’s done her job, and if she causes it to fully implode, she’s done her job almost as well.
