Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Banks Approve of Republicans Increasing Bank Fees
A Biden-era CFPB rule limiting overdraft fees is under challenge, and lawmakers used bank lobbyists for their testimonials.

Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
During my time as Inspector General, I have returned over $40 billion to the U.S. Treasury
in fraudulent loans issued under pandemic relief programs, including the Paycheck
Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan program. More broadly, I
uncovered over $200 billion in potential fraud within these pandemic relief programs,
which could lead to billions more cost savings for the U.S. government. I have also helped
pass measures that made it easier for the government to tackle fraud in the future. That
vitally important work is ongoing, and my unlawful termination has prevented me from
continuing to supervise it during my lawful term of office.

Tom Homan asks “where is that line,” as if it is mysterious or unknowable. It’s not. Tom’s saying it that way because he’s too much of a coward just to say “she should be arrested for telling people their rights.” Also, to be fair, he may be too dim to understand the line.
