“For me, the history of the place of Black people in this country is so varied, complex and beautiful. And impactful.”

In just the week before Trump took power, CFPB:
- ordered Equifax to pay $15M
- ordered a major auto lender to return $10M to customers
- ordered CashApp to refund $120M to customers
- sued Capital One for cheating people out of interest payments
This week it's closed.
NEW: CFPB employees were just abruptly informed that the watchdog agency's DC headquarters will be closed this week.
The email, obtained by @CNN, did not explain a reason for the sudden closure.
This comes days after Elon Musk tweeted out: “CFPB RIP” with a tombstone emoji.

Musk basically leads the Dept of Making Stuff Up.
Simple fact checks demolish all the hyped narratives from him and his frat bros.
Let’s get these unaccountable goons out of our public services and our private data.

Gov Hochul responding to Trump saying he ended congestion pricing, writing "LONG LIVE THE KING":
"We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We'll see you in court"

Elon Musk wants to “delete” all “bureaucracy” that protects Americans from getting worked over by greedy financial firms. Want to know how much the CFPB matters? Read our breakdown of the complaints they receive (they’ve acted on 4 million+)

HOLY SHIT, Rep. Jasmine Crockett:
"We are going to be in your faces, we're gonna be on your ass, we're going to make sure you understand that this is what democracy looks like!"

If you’re offended by Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s comments on Mediocre White Men…
You’re probably who she was talking about.

Elon Musk, an unelected, unappointed billionaire, is illegally trying to take away critical humanitarian funding from the poorest people around the world – funding that Congress has already appropriated, and cannot be reappropriated.
There is no reason he should be allowed to make these decisions.

Beautiful Black Boy

“It’s the richest person in the world taking away from the poorest people in the world,” one USAID official told Playbook. “People will die from this — like thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.” Congress must check Musk. politico.com/playbook

“The US will take over the Gaza Strip”
We feared this human rights catastrophe in Gaza would be the inevitable outcome of the Netanyahu regime’s collective punishment onslaught.
We were criticized for voicing it a year ago. Now Trump is casually saying it out loud.
Rashida Bumbray retweeted
We know now that what they're coming after is not one form of thinking. It's not Black history, it's not intersectionality, it's not critical race theory. They're coming after the entire infrastructure that has been created from the civil rights movement.

Doulas like Venus understand the importance of postpartum care. In 2021, I challenged states to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage from 2 months to 12. Now, 47 states have answered the call, and more women and children are receiving the care they need.

I am beyond words about the commutation of Leonard Peltier. His release from prison signifies a measure of justice that has long evaded so many Native Americans for so many decades. I am grateful that Leonard can now go home to his family. I applaud President Biden for this action and understanding what this means to Indian Country. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

As we approach January 6th, it’s not enough for us to rail yet again against Trump as the instigator of that shameful day. We must understand that we need to reform our democracy in order to inspire average Americans to join us as defenders of it.
