You might remember Townstone and its delightful radio show and podcast, as well as the Seventh Circuit ruling that said the statements they made about Black Chicago neighborhoods were fair lending violations.

Reminder, this case was brought in 2020. Remember who was president then?

More to come.

I do feel like it should be possible to report on what the adminsitration is doing without echoing its own language.

Why this fired CFPB employee worries for consumers if agency shuttered YouTube video by CBS Philadelphia

NTEU Chapter 335 (CFPB) members speak out about the harm consumers and financial markets could face if the Bureau is eliminated: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHFx...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

US Rep Cleaver at the CFPB: "Elon, take your musty millions and musty Moscow rights to the moon, because if you don't, we're going to stand up!"

"No one should have the ability to direct funds towards their personal interest if they are working for the federal government. That's why we don't allow Members of Congress or many other federal employees to receive federal contracts. The same is even more true with a special government employee with wide authority to direct federal expenses," said Representative Pocan. "No government employee, 'Special' or not, should have any financial interest in who the government does business with. Elon Musk is the poster child for this type of potential abuse. After more than $20 billion in federal contracts, there's no way Musk can be objective in what he's doing. Protecting the taxpayers has to be our number one priority."

Corrupt oligarch Elon Musk

Representative Mark Pocan to introduce a new bill called the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act, it seeks to block special government employees from securing federal contracts.

Especially corporate oligarch Musk. #OpCanary #3E #EndOligarchy 🧵

Do you feel terrified, confused, exhausted, overwhelmed, unable to focus or summon any energy to resist?
Turn off the media and mute social media pundits who are filling your every thought with what the oligarchy is doing. Breathe. Centre yourself. Focus on what you and the resistance are doing. #3E

Federal employees, the American people count on you to deliver vital services, and our country needs you now more than ever. We stand with you.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
