It implements U.S. consumer finance laws and issues new rules for lenders and other financial institutions, such as one announced last year to wipe medical debt from credit reports. The CFPB also goes after companies it suspects of dishonest or illegal activity.

"At its core, it's a law enforcement agency," Rohit Chopra, the former director of the CFPB appointed by President Biden, told NPR on Monday. "It takes big financial institutions to court who cheat consumers, whether it's a credit reporting agency or a large bank or a credit card giant."

But who needs any of that I guess, so yeah, now they're shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. You know the one created after the 2008 bank system collapse in order to stop something like that from ever happening again. So yay for unchecked, rampant greed and making Americans broke again.

Musk makes a good case against himself as to why he absolutely should not have access to people’s personal information. He didn’t necessarily get this info through the treasury or any other government agencies he invaded but just doxxing someone shows how untrustworthy he is.

Love this dudes speech, and his arguments against Trump. No secret I'm a big fan and I've plugged his content here before, but I'm not really even trying to plug him here with this. Politics isn't the main thing I watch him for and definitely not his claim to fame. I just love his stance on this The fact he kind of frames this video towards Trump supporters saying "Look you aren't gonna get what you want either. We're all gonna be fucked if you choose to keep being ignorant."

The Associated Press says the White House blocked it from covering an official event on Tuesday because it did not refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

AP Executive Editor Julie Pace said that the White House informed the news agency that its journalists would be barred from attending President Trump's signing of a new executive order because it had not aligned its editorial standards with Trump's preferred name for the body of water.

...

The event was newsworthy; Trump and his adviser, billionaire Elon Musk, spoke of the sweeping cuts they were making to the federal government as part of Musk's government efficiency effort known as DOGE.

...

AP's Stylebook is used not only by its own journalists, but by other news outlets and institutions around the globe. In its guidance, the AP advises that the body of water to the east of Mexico that stretches from Texas to Florida should retain its historic title.

"The Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years," the updated Stylebook entry states. "Refer to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen."

The U.S. Geological Service has officially adopted "Gulf of America." Apple and Google Maps also call it by that name when searched by users based in the U.S.

Outside the country, "Gulf of Mexico" is still used.

As the AP Stylebook notes, "Trump's order only carries authority within the United States. Mexico, as well as other countries and international bodies, do not have to recognize the name change."

My favorite was Musk doing a “imma let you finish” during a Trump OO press conference. I liked how Musk used his (I’m assuming) child as a human shield. I liked the annoyed look on the Tangerine Nightmare’s face as Musk stammered his way into incorrectly describing the democracy we have in this country.  
 

Won’t be long now before Musk is out on his ass and if not we will def know it’s cuz he owns Trump’s balls.

Justice Robert’s warned JD Vance about displaying open defiance of the court’s orders. Hopefully he won’t pussy out when cases reach the SCOTUS. These so called “constitutional originalists” seem to change their mind over things having to do with Presidential power. When I was coming up in school it was taught the Founders were very serious to not have laws that would be like having a King. They never wanted to be under the rule of a Monarchy ever again.  Giving a President unlimited powers is doing the exact things the Founders never wanted. Is that not true anymore? Did the Founders really not care about that? Maybe someone w a kid in school can enlighten me as to what they’re taught now.

Since you asked so nicely.

This has easily been the greatest 3 week start to a Presidency in my lifetime. This is what everyone hoped Trump would do his first term. He wasnt prepared then, he is now.  Really, we should be thanking Democrats for winning in 2020 and then going the full lawfare route. It allowed Trump to actually prepare for how to govern this time. If he didnt lose in 2020, it would have just been 4 more years of muddling around. But he lost, and then he was able to learn and now know what to do. Its clear that he spent 4 years learning from his mistakes in the first term.

And it shows. Hes not just going at government fraud and waste, hes destroying the pillars that hold it up. Killing USAID was a masterstroke, and completely unexpected. The waste in that agency that has been exposed is damn near criminal. Its pretty clear that it was just money laundering to special interests and NGOs.

Gutting entire agencies, removing their authority, downsizing the government. This is everything that we have hoped a Republican would do, but they never did because they were giant pussies who were too concerned about the fallout. Trump doesnt care about the fallout. Hes doing what needs to be done, and its great.

DOGE will go down as one of the most consequential acts of any President. And funny enough, we have Obama to thank for it. The authority that DOGE is operating under was first created by Obama during Obamacare. Trump tried to get rid of it in his first term, and he failed. Then Biden came along and turned it into a political appointed position, which meant that Trump was free to do the same. And boy did he. Watching what DOGE has been doing on a daily basis is just great. Fantastic work, and I cant wait to see what else they do.

The added bonus has been watching Democrats completely lose it. Full blown hypocrisy, unhinged screeching, and just a complete disconnect with reality. Trump truly has broken the left this time, and its just glorious to watch. The Democratic party is polling in the low 30%s, while Trump is the most popular he has ever been. There has been a clear shift in this country, and its just glorious. Conservatives are more united than they have ever been, and Democrats are in complete disarray. Could not be more pleased with how the start of the 2nd Trump Administration has gone.

Some people are just straight up fuckin assholes. As popular as Trump might be it’s only because of his cruelty. Once inflation continues to soar and prices continue upward on groceries people will turn on him. Musk is already unpopular. His numbers are way down

One very worrying thing about USAID going away is the potential of another HIV outbreak, something we don't really have to worry about these days. If a person is properly medicated, they cannot pass the virus onto another person via sex. In developing countries, the medication typically costs less than a dollar a day. If a medicated person no longer has access to their medication, their viral load will rise and they potentially will become resistant to the medication and have to use a more expensive medication.

And of course South Africa, Felon Musk's country, would be critically affected by this problem more than other countries.

Once HIV starts spreading unchecked across the globe, Nations will start to destabilize.  A lot of disease and violence can spread as a result of this and we’re not even getting into halted studies and the people walking around with experimental vaccines running through their veins, if complications arise there’s nowhere for the participants to go. The studies are shutdown. 
 

with that said many Americans won’t care. HIV is a “lifestyle” disease in their estimation. Those people “deserve to die” is how they think.

Gabbard got confirmed as Director of National... well it used to be Intelligence, but I don't know what you would call it now. Incompetence, or maybe idiocy I guess. McConnell was the only republican to vote no along with all the democrats. :disassociate: What kind of shambolic nightmare are we living in? Seriously. Somebody wake me up already.

Well, most cases of HIV in Africa are from heterosexual intercourse, so there is also an element of racism at play. I think the most likely scenario is China stepping in to fill the gaps left behind the US leaves. In other words, Chinese soft power is increasing and American soft power is waning.

Most cases of HIV are spread through heterosexual contact because of drugs but more likely prostitution. “Those people deserve it” race too but definitely people here see it as a lifestyle choice
