The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people. The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

If the Supreme Court strikes down Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has been interpreted to require the creation of majority-minority districts, Republicans could eliminate upward of a dozen Democratic-held districts across the South. Here's how.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court rejects Alex Jones' appeal of $1.4 billion judgment for calling Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax. @apnews.com

"I stand on solid rock and I will not bow, I will not break, I will not bend, I will not capitulate, I will not give in, I will not give up." New York Attorney General Letitia James speaks out after being indicted by the Trump DOJ.

When the right loses both Joe Rogan and Marjorie Taylor Greene on the issues in the same week, you know it’s going to get rough for Republicans. Joe Rogan on ICE: “The way it looks is just horrific.” QAnon queen MTG on the economy: “I’m just living in reality from here on out.”

President Trump was just caught on a hot mic talking with the president of Indonesia. He may have been talking about his business interests in the country–which would be exactly the kind of conflict of interest we’ve been warning about for years. 🧵

Among the reasons Americans risked it all to get rid of a tyrannical king: “He has obstructed the Admin of Justice…made Judges dependent on his Will…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people…kept among us Standing Armies w/o legislatures’ Consent” www.americaamerica.news/p/what-we-sh...

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode. Pedal to the floor.

Every raid, every body slammed to the pavement, is a public ritual meant to teach us obedience. The goal isn’t enforcement — it’s submission... hartmannreport.com/p/the-brutal...

CBS News is the latest victim of the corporatization of the media. But it is the American people who will pay the price.

Egypt has extremely strict gun control laws. Civilians are only permitted to own handguns -- no rifles or shotguns -- and only if they can prove they need the weapon for a specific purpose. Background checks for licensing are extensive and include vetting of family members and psych evaluations.

Trump golfing today during the government shutdown

In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number. n.pr/4obbfnK

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

While Americans suffer from the government shutdown and farmers go bankrupt from Trump’s trade wars, Trump rides around his golf course telling his rich friends their taxes are going down. So out of touch.

We remain in the dumbest timeline. open.substack.com/pub/logicall...

Steve Bannon: I think there are many different alternatives we’ll roll out after the midterms to make sure President Trump is on the ballot in 2028. And if he’s on the ballot, he’ll win.

Trump on Ukraine: "They'd like to have Tomahawks. We talked about that. We'll see. I might have to speak to Russia, to be honest with you, about Tomahawks. Do they want to have Tomahawks going in their direction? I don't think so."

* TRUMP: XI IS A SMART MAN AND A GREAT LEADER

"The U.S. is two economies. There's an enormous AI boom going on, huge investments, particularly in data centers. If you took that out of the numbers and you just looked at the non-AI parts of the economy, it's basically flatlining. We're on the cusp of a non-AI recession." -- Me

NEW: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified some 1,300 employees they would be laid off — then rescinded hundreds of those notices within hours.

“The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.”

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵 Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

Republican lawmakers are targeting one of the U.S.’s longest-standing pieces of environmental legislation, credited with helping save rare whales from extinction.

Trump just used the shutdown to wipe out the special ed department. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

it actually offends me how sloppy and careless they are. anyone who’s ever been laid off knows the panic you feel when it happens. and while obviously it’s good that they backtracked, these are people’s fucking LIVELIHOODS they’re messing with.

It’s no wonder that Trump has such a twisted view of war and sacrifice. And the utility of bribes.

Trump’s Regime will be busy chasing ANTIFA on 10/18. LOOK at all these anti- American protests ALL over America! 🥴 #NOKINGS

"Sinister, Malevolent, Venomous: Stephen Miller Is Like No Other White House Aide in Modern US History" Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured & dangerous psyche. But now Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

Fat Satan got his COVID booster shot yesterday. If he doesn’t listen to his Trumpshit-crazy HHS Secretary, why should we?

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

Here you go. I made it easier to understand what’s happening.
