Trump Admin defunds the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
In a court filing, Project 2025’s Russ Vought, current acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), claims that the agency’s funding mechanism violates federal law. The agency is responsible for holding companies accountable for deceptive and abusive business practices. CFPB will shut down early next year without funding, which has been on Vought’s […]

Yes, absolutely! I am so concerned for them.
It’s not enough to simply thank our veterans for their service.
Millions of them rely on SNAP and the ACA.
Many struggle with PTSD and worry about access to mental health services.
Today, on Veterans Day, let’s renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who fought for us.

✅ The 8 senators admit they kept him in the loop
✅ The 8 senators that voted yes are not up for reelection
✅ His No. 2 voted yes

The seat will be based in Salt Lake City.

‘Extreme’ gerrymander: Utah judge rejects GOP lawmakers’ congressional map, picks districts favoring Democrats

“They’re only arresting illegals”
Over 170 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE.
At least 19 people have died in ICE custody.
At least 1300 are missing or unaccounted for.
If what ICE was doing was legal or moral, then they wouldn’t wear masks.

Vote yes on Prop 50 in California! And if you can support it with any donation, do so! We need this to pass. The whole nation needs it to pass.
Interesting conversation with a NY Assemblyman tonight.
I asked about the likelihood of NY redistricting for 2028.
He indicated that the appetite for such a move might be influenced by the success of CA’s referendum.
So…a big Prop 50 win may very well act as a catalyst for other blue states.

Laura Loomer's comments are literally insane. My first husband was diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic just a couple years after we were married. This is exactly how he spoke. Laura needs help. Family and friends of her should be doing all they can to get her the help that she needs.
This is who is advising the president of the United States

This is exactly it. This is what is driving maga crazy right now. Newsomel is holding up a mirror. Everything they've been nodding their heads to in support of Trump, they are disdaining in Newsom. They've got to be seeing their own hypocrisy at this point!
With an inescapable, smashmouth, all-caps-laden and meme-filled X account, Newsom is holding a mirror up to MAGA — and MAGA doesn’t like what it sees.
How Gavin Newsom trolled his way to the top of social media

Of course Putin said that. He helped rig the 2016 election! But we have a president who is too dumb to see that he is a tool for Putin. Putin complimented him, said he won in 2020, Trump rolled over like a needy dog. His weakness is his narcissism. And it's going to destroy our nation further.
“He said your election was rigged.” Trump cites Putin as an authority to his claim the 2020 election was rigged.

Yes, the president of the United States rolled over for the Russian dictator. Trump has the guts to say that Putin said that Trump won in 2020. Of course he would say that since he helped Trump win in 2016. Why can't this fool-Trump-see how he's being used? He's so dumb that he's a tool for Russia.

And Mexico is saying that Trump will not be putting military in their country! Trump wants not just to be a dictator in America but also to conquer the world. He's the most dangerous president we have ever had. By far.
