I might be here for twilight's last gleaming of democracy, but I'm not going down without a fight. I love art. I believe in science. I support a fair and just society for all people. I think we can and must do better.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau made it harder for billionaires like Elon Musk to rip you off. He isn't looking to eliminate waste. He wants to expand his enormous wealth at your expense. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The CFPB took aim at Big Tech. Then Elon Musk moved to dismantle it.
In the days before Musk’s DOGE set its sights on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, X revealed plans for a payments system the agency might have overseen.

"Prep" refers to a drug protocol that stops the transmission of HIV. Some businesses claim that providing health insurance that dispenses prep violates their "religious freedom." Because apparently their religion includes trying to ensure gay people die.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on President Trump’s executive order to attack the federal workforce, including by weakening protections for federal workers that will make it easier to carry out politically-motivated mass firings and imposing a government hiring freeze:
Statement graphic reading: It’s in the best interest of our national security and the quality of the services Americans rely on—including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food inspections, and natural disaster relief programs—that our federal workforce is hired based on experience and expertise, and receives the support needed to effectively deliver. Donald Trump’s executive order is designed to starve and undermine the federal workforce and shows he is prioritizing his obsession with yes-men over the well-being of the American people and workers. We appreciate the steps the Biden Administration took to complicate Trump’s ability to put this order into motion and will continue to push for our legislation to halt it altogether.
