Firing top prosecutors and FBI agents. Deporting farmworkers who feed us. Letting billionaire oligarchs vandalize government agencies & access private data. There is a pattern to this corrupt behavior. Give Trump more power. Give the billionaires more money. Give you nothing.

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

White women are about to be the latest to learn that when you support fascists because "they'll go after other people and improve things for me", "other people" always shifts to include you eventually (Tweet by Trump's new Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs)
Tweet by Darren J. Beattie on October 4, 2024: "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. 

Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men."

MAGA: No, Biden can't wipe away student loans. That's hella illegal unless Congress acts. Also MAGA: If Trump declares an entire federal agency "lunatics" he can do away with it and all the funding it distributes without bothering to inform Congress, let alone requiring any action.

Wall Street celebrates as Trump targets consumer protections
Continuing to closely track the threat of oligarchy to democracy, this week we’re tracking Donald Trump’s firing of Rohit Chopra, the chair of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Chopra’s ouster—two years before his term was up—has drawn backlash from Democrats and advocates, who warn that the agency could become a tool of the oligarchy. Chopra spearheaded historic reforms, including removing medical debt from credit reports, capping overdraft and credit card junk fees, and increasing consumer control over personal data. His efforts made him a thorn in Wall Street’s side, and Trump’s decision to remove him follows intense lobbying from the financial industry. With Trump’s broader assault on federal institutions, many fear that America’s working and middle-class will be left without a champion in government.
