The bought-and-paid-for Supreme Court agreed to take up whether to overturn a 90-year-old precedent that allows Congress to give certain agencies some independence from the White House. And of course, we can be certain they’ll rule in his favor, leaving us with no truly independent agencies.

Moment of clarity today in the Senate where Republicans sided with big banks & against customers. Higher fees, lower transparency.
Now it goes to the House - so call your Member of Congress to ask how they’ll vote!

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.
