AOC: Whether it’s people in the Epstein files still roaming free, or the president, a known rapist, continuing to occupy the White House, all of this has contributed to the normalization and the idea that incidents of harassment shouldn’t matter. And I think today was an important turning point

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

Under Trump's CFPB, two of the three major credit bureaus have sharply reduced the share of complaints they resolved in customers’ favor. In 2024, Experian’s relief rate was 20%. Last year, that figure fell to less than 1%: propub.li/3OY2qBw
Graph showing that the number of consumer complaints that credit bureau Experian closed with relief dropped significantly after Donald Trump's inauguration. The chart also shows the total complaints received has continued to rise over time. The x-axis shows year from 2021 to 2025 and the y-axis shows number of monthly complaints from 0 to 200K, with tick marks at increments of 50K.
