Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Outside Chicago, a father of seven was too embarrassed to tell his family last Christmas that they might lose their home to foreclosure. A debt collector was demanding he pay almost $30,000 to settle a $10,000 second mortgage he said he hadn’t heard about in 15 years. Another homeowner, near San Francisco, faced foreclosure this year over a $121,000 second mortgage — even though he’d received a tax document from his lender in 2009 showing the debt had been canceled. And in suburban Washington, DC, a couple got a demand for more than $86,000 in back interest on a loan for which they hadn’t received any monthly statements in nearly a decade, despite laws that preclude any such interest charges during periods when regular statements weren’t sent.
This is a tangible example of how regulatory agencies matter to people in practical ways. The CFPB had been investigating and blocking these abuses of the law, until Russ Vought and Trump stopped them from doing so.

This plan, which becomes official today, makes the country's refugee program into a tool for white nationalism.

Give it a rest, dude. Sheesh.
I really think the end result is a karma kinda thing…
I was born with a genetic heart defect that was considered a pre-existing condition. It made me stronger but it also put my life at risk several times per year. It was never insurable until ACA and I had it corrected surgically in my 40s. Thank you.
