According to Bloomberg, Musk tweeted on Wednesday, “Delete CFPB.” He claimed it’s because “There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies.” Destroying the CFPB just happens to be a Project 2025 goal, too. What a coinkydink! Let’s be clear about the good the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau does and has done to protect Americans from financial harm: Via The Washington Post: Formed in the wake of the 2008 banking crisis, the CFPB has a broad mandate to protect Americans from unfair, deceptive or predatory financial practices.

There are consequences when you buddy up with a fascist who is hell-bent on destroying the very fabric of America. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Fox News, but that's to be expected since the network has brainwashed its viewers since its inception.

Homophobic Republican Rep. Tim Burchett, who wants all trans men to be drafted into the military, went on a delirious rant claiming working-class men would take home $100,000 free and clear once Trump's tariffs are implemented. In his spiel, Burchett made believe the majority of the country is out of work, even though the US economy has been booming under President Biden. Even the MAGA cult doesn't believe this malarkey.

Idle threats are not in Trump’s repertoire, so expect fireworks the day he takes office.

There was a lot of competition this year.
