Big banks spent years trying to kill the CFPB. Now they’re panicking because they realize gutting it helps Trump’s billionaire tech donors—not them.
The CFPB was the only real check on Big Tech, fintech, and payday lenders. Without it, they’re free to exploit consumers with no oversight.

Over 225,000 residents of TN-09 rely on Medicaid or CHIP for health insurance.
Your health is your livelihood. I’m for increasing access to health care, not cutting it.
FACT: There’s not enough “waste, fraud and abuse” in Medicaid to prevent these severe cuts from hurting everyday families, many of whom would not be able to pay for an ER visit.
House Republicans are LYING when they say their budget doesn’t cut #Medicaid. The CBO proved it.
The GOP budget demands $2 trillion in cuts. The only way to get there is by cutting Medicaid benefits for millions. They knew this and passed it anyway so millionaires billionaires could get tax cuts.

BREAKING: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just confirmed Republicans who say their budget doesn't cut Medicaid are lying.
Their budget *requires* the largest Medicaid cuts in American history - all while delivering a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to billionaire donors.

Maria Kalesnikava is an opposition leader, democracy activist & musician sentenced to 11 years in prison in #Belarus for her work advocating for free & fair elections & her support of opposition candidates. Her health is of concern.
@repcohen.bsky.social is her #DefendingFreedoms advocate.
6 weeks of corruption under Donald Trump and Republicans.
Imagine a President tearing up a $2.4B contract just so he could hand the money to his top political financial supporter. Cronyism and politics at its worst.
It’s what's happening now at the FAA. Trump wants to hand $2.4 BILLION in taxpayer dollars straight to Elon Musk. I'm fighting to stop it.

In case anyone wants to email Elon and DOGE ppl. Anonymous just sent this out.
A SpaceX Starship broke apart after launch, raining debris down off Florida's coast and over the Caribbean
SECOND BREAKUP IN 2 MONTHS.COULD MUSK NOT BE THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE?
Musk & the DOGE crew keep proving they’re not as smart as they think.
Now they’re trying to close federal buildings like the Odell Horton building in Memphis—which I had named for the famed African American jurist—with no plan for critical services like federal courts.
We're going to fight it. ⬇️
www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03... to close down Department of Education. It mostly serves poor and disabled kids who Trump likes to punish with cuts to Medicaid as well as Snap payments. And Jimmy Carter started it whose accomplishments are all Trump targets.
I have since learned that representative Lance Gooden of Texas reached across the aisle and grabbed the sign out of representative Sainsbury’s hands and tossed it away from her. She chose not to have him cited or brought up for censure.
House Judiciary Republicans spent today trying to gaslight America. It's "Critical Legal Theory"—their attempt to push bills to whitewash Trump's felony convictions.
Trump was found guilty 34 times. No amount of lying, no new law, no GOP spin can change it. He's a convicted felon. Guilty, 34 times.
Jim Jordan wants you to believe that Trump is a victim. He knows that's a lie.
The Mueller Report showed Russian interference. A bipartisan Senate report confirmed it. People went to prison. And Trump wasn't indicted because Bill Barr wasn't man enough to do it. That's the truth. ⬇️

Last night, Donald Trump stood in the Capitol, protected by the same Capitol Police officers he encouraged a violent mob to attack—then pardoned the insurrectionists who assaulted and killed them.
The hypocrisy was sickening. Almost as sickening as Donald Trump.
