Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5. This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

This was originally intended as a short, simple Q&A in which a criminal justice expert debunks a myth. It turned into something else. This—now somewhat long—essay may change the way you think about criminal justice in America, and who’s a threat to our rule of law and public safety.

Nothing to worry about here, just a political purge of our national security apparatus that will replace long-serving experts with dimwitted bootlickers. I'm sure our safety and security won't be impacted at all.

Brief thread on how we got here: Since the GOP won control of the House 2 years ago they have not passed a single appropriations package into law. Government has operated at funding levels set by Dems 2 years ago via continuing resolutions every few months. This is not normal.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

Bad take. It would've been wrong for Biden to interfere before/after the initial course of prosecution involving Hunter; DOJ made a fair deal with him (even if it normally wouldn't have brought charges at all). But once Republicans publicly intervened to nix the fair deal, it was a partisan hitjob.

The CFPB is a shining example of efficiency, returning nearly $20 billion to the victims of financial fraud since 2011. Trump-supporting billionaires want to scrap the agency to pad their own pockets. Holding financial scammers accountable isn't inefficient — it's common-sense.

I sure wish the media had covered Trump pardoning his co-conspirators and family members the way they're covering Hunter Biden today. They could even do it today. But they won't.

So, if Hunter Biden had beaten our Capitol police with their own shields, American flags and fire extinguishers during a deadly attack on our Capitol designed to overturn the results of a legitimate presidential election… he would deserve a pardon? Do I have that right?
