1/ A Colorado woman's credit score dropped 85 points over a $240K debt that wasn't even hers. She proved it. The credit bureaus still wouldn't fix it. Why? Because the federal watchdog that used to force them to is being quietly dismantled from the inside #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Andy Beshear just said what far too many whisper behind closed doors: If Mitch McConnell can't address the public, he shouldn't cling to power. Leadership isn't a lifetime appointment. Long overdue. If he can’t do one or the other of those, a family member needs to produce a death certificate.
