White House budget director Vought plans to shut down CFPB within months, says it's no longer protecting consumers reut.rs/4qjMIyT

A Democrat should find a way to get in touch with Trump and explain to him which legal repercussions he (individually) may incur if he continues killing citizens of foreign countries. It needs to be explained to him. We *know* his staff is not. We *know* heads of departments are not warning him.

Well, that might suggest a bed is being made for Ahmad al-Shar'a, Assad and Putin, as we speak. Ahmad al-Sharaa was a former rebel commander, *but* he rose to power after Assad's resignation and exile. In other words, he wasn't an opposition leader.

Yes, and he also wanted to annex Canada.

What the Republicans and White House have proposed is that no resistance to the current budget dispute will be allowed, or programs started/initiated during Democratic presidencies will be ended. It's a strong arm tactic, and it will take years to rebuild the good programs, but a clean slate.

The White House knows he took the money, Bondi and Patel know Homan took the money. They hadn't thought to construct a cover story for the actual transfer of that cash. They are attempting to reverse engineer an excuse: Homan, businessman, accepted money as a businessman--therefore, no quid pro quo.

Trump "ready". Really, it's like Trump learned business skills in a self-help book. It's low hanging fruit what he grabs, e.g. *Trump* is ready versus Trump and Xi will meet in ...

Any adult male that needs his teenage son to monitor his usage probably has a secret kink--how else to explain involving a son in porn, sex, and kink? Even teaching your son that porn is any sort of outlet -- kinky Johnson.

Nice to see new wind and solar outpacing energy demand growth globally. Of course corrupt Trump administration wants to hurt U.S. competition in this growing global space, for fossil fuel donors.

Good tip: Coating the belly before reading the bull.

Several news organizations, including The New York Times, NPR and Newsmax, are refusing to sign a new set of restrictions on news gathering inside the Pentagon. n.pr/3ILiHaj

If* this .5% figure is correct (and, one really should not believe any figure released from this White House) it's a temporary and small bump due to new school year/regular sales during start of school season.
(News titling: get better -- .5% is nothing to cheer, and can be placed within title.)

Bezos is selling off Amazon stock. He is now at less than 10% in holdings. There is probably a very high burn rate occurring in the Bezos home. And now, with the economy ill, watch other billionaires quietly sell assets in order to access cash.

Kaiser refuses to give workers fair pay, benefits, and the staffing they need to keep patients safe.

We stand with the 46,000 UNAC/UHCP, @steelworkers.bsky.social Local 7600, @ofnhp.bsky.social, @unitehere.org Hawaii, and HNHP health care workers on STRIKE fighting for a fair contract ✊

I am convinced there is palace intrigue afoot--1st and 2nd mistress tension-- and, the sound of final straws at the White House as Halligan moves forward in her role as interim
United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and as Bondi carries forward with DM privileges.

Hello, Attorney General of the United States of America--there are avenues available to you via the judicial system to seek remedy to that which ails you. Not every problem in America can be solved with borrowed good old boys tiring of "the big city" (Chicago) right about now--esp w no pay coming.

It must be the hour--his joke made me laugh, -- witness protection.

AI: "Dancing coup" refers to the viral video of a woman in Myanmar who, while filming an aerobics video, inadvertently captured the start of a military coup happening in the background.

One can simply look at Congresswoman Gwen Moore and determine she is a hard worker. I've seen that face before, and so have we all. It's rare to see such dedication and determination in D.C. :)

Republicans gutted Medicaid and took no action on ACA tax credits, which will cut health care and spike costs for millions.

Now they’re hiding at home.

I’m here in D.C ready to work, calling on Republicans to come to the negotiating table and save our constituents’ health care.

*He's sinfully shrewd.

He's taking opportunity to stuff government with allies, future ready envoys, and to staff government w GOP aligned workers. It will benefit the Republicans (or Trump) at a later date. He sinfully shrewd.

The first rule of coup is never let them see you sweat. Johnson is sweating.
