Podcast with Charlie Kirk and now praising Bill Maher for his WH visit? The only reason I can think why Newsome is being so gross and right-wing lately is he's trying to win Kimberly Guilfoyle back

Senate Republicans would rather you didn’t find out they just voted to give the biggest banks billions in profits from overdraft fees that kick working people when they’re down. Disgraceful. Meanwhile, every Senate Democrat voted against it.

The most terrifying thing about living through right now is the fact that I can’t “just get a job”. Plenty of folks who are disabled have the same issue. And with anti-DEI targeting disability access as well, competing with more able bodied seniors for jobs we could do will be impossible for many.

On this date in 1953, Josef Stalin died of a brain bleed after days of ineffectual care. Russia's best doctors had earlier been tortured and jailed in a spasm of paranoid anti-Semitism by the dictator. Briefly regaining consciousness, Stalin was reflective: "Hire the Jew," they say. I get it now."

A pathetic and humiliating walkback from the would-be destroyers of CFPB, who know they've lost in court and can't kill the agency. This email from Mark Paoletta went to employees today. It neglects Vought's Feb 10 "stop-work" email that superseded it, ending all activity with no exceptions.

On behalf of Acting Director Vought, I am writing to you to ensure that everyone is carrying out any statutorily required work, as he set forth in his February 8th email.
On February 8, 2025, you received an email from Acting Director Vought directing you to halt several classes of work unless "required by law" or expressly approved by the Acting Director. On February 10, 2025, you received an email from Acting Director Vought directing you to reach out to me for the authorization required by the February 8 email. These measures were intended to ensure that new leadership could establish operational control over the agency while ensuring that it would continue to fulfill its statutory duties...

Many of you understood this and continued to perform functions required by law and sought approval from me to perform work, which I have promptly granted.
It has come to my attention, however, that some employees have not been performing statutorily required work. Let me be clear: Employees should be performing work that is required by law and do not need to seek prior approval to do so. If you have any questions, please reach out to me immediately, and I will promptly give you an answer and authorization if warranted. If you are aware of other employees that are needed to assist you in performing a statutorily required task but are not doing so, please raise this with me immediately.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Mark Paoletta
Chief Legal Officer
CFPB
