Trump Is Poised to Dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump named a labor secretary nominee seen by some union leaders and advocates as genuinely pro-worker, The Washington Post on Saturday detailed what the incoming administration and Republican Congress have planned for a federal agency designed to protect everyday Americans from corporate abuse. Initially proposed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) while she was still a Harvard Law School professor, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which Congress passed in response to the 2007-08 financial crisis. The first Trump administration was accused of “gutting the CFPB and corrupting its mission.” However, as the Post noted, “its current Democratic leader, Rohit Chopra, has been aggressive” in his fights for consumers, working to get medical debt off credit reports and crack down on “junk fees” for everything from bank account overdrafts and credit cards to paycheck advance products — efforts that have drawn fierce challenges from the financial industry. Aides on Trump’s transition team have started considering candidates to lead the CFPB who are expected to ease its oversight of banks, lenders, and tech giants. The early short list includes Brian Johnson, a former agency official; Keith Noreika, a banking consultant and former regulator; and Todd Zywicki, a professor at George Mason University’s law school who has previously advised the bureau, according to four people familiar with the matter. “Of course Trumpers want to dismantle the only agency formed in decades dedicated to giving consumers a fair shake in a predatory economy,” Katrina vanden Heuvel, The Nation’s editorial director and publisher, said in response to the reporting — which came just a day after Forbes similarly previewed “big changes coming to Elizabeth Warren’s CFPB” when Trump returns. “The number of CFPB regulatory advisories and enforcement actions will likely shrink” and “bank mergers and acquisitions could see a boost too,” Forbes highlighted. “Even more noteworthy, the CFPB’s funding structure could be at increased risk,” with some congressional Republicans considering the reconciliation process as a path to forcing changes, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s May decision that allowed the watchdog to keep drawing money from the earnings of the Federal Reserve System. While Trump’s latest electoral success was thanks in part to winning over key numbers of working-class voters, the president-elect has spent the post-election period filling key roles in his next administration with billionaires and loyalists, fueling expectations that his return to the White House — with a Republican-controlled Congress — will largely serve ultrarich people and corporations, reminiscent of his first term. The recent reporting on the CFPB has further solidified those expectations. In a snarky social media post, Aaron Sojourner, a labor economist and senior researcher at the W. E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research who served on the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) during the Trump and Obama administrations, wrote: “#priorities Bringing back junk fees.” Joshua Smith, budget policy director for the Democrat-run Senate Budget Committee, said that “working- and middle-class people who voted for Trump did so for many reasons, but you’d be hard-pressed to find any who did so because they want higher overdraft fees.”

If you're wondering who the big fella's pick for Labor Secretary is, it's Lori Chavez-DeRemer.

She won't last. His previous Labor Secretary Alex Acosta clung on for nearly two years. He finally got fired for being the prosecutor who Jeff Epstein off the hook. For twenty years worth of child sex offending, Alex pushed for a year in jail with weekend release. The judge was cool, so Jeff took the rap. Epstein Island was back in business, swinging.

When it came time for nominations, the big fella thought Alex should get a reward for a job well done - like on the Apprentice when a contestant won. Also, Alex knew where a few of the bodies were buried, so it helped to have him in the tent. Jeff had been a great guy to party with, the big fella observed, even if he liked his chicks a little on the young side.

The fake news finally twigged that the same Alex who let Jeff off was now Labor Secretary, so he had to go. The new one's going to owe a lot of favours. She'll be getting advice from Elon on how to fire half your workforce by email.

If anyone's going to get pushed around in the next Trump cabinet, it's a female Latino Labor Secretary. Alex Acosta had a tough enough time, and he had a dick. The new consumer watchdog's going to be a total poodle.

With all the job cuts, price hikes from inflationary tariffs and no consumer protection from random corporate fees, price gouging and greed, Trump voters are going to have their arses handed back to them.

The boys are back, leftards, and there's not a single thing you can do about it.

His cult members are going to have the worst case of buyers' remorse ever.

"Of course Trumpers want to dismantle the only agency formed in decades dedicated to giving consumers a fair shake in a predatory economy," one journalist said in response to reporting on Republican plans.


What the WaPo said, what another journalist speculated, what Pochahontas Warren guessed, what karnal tapdancing about, and all of which will make groggy creep think  of rape.

Not a word from Trump, not a word even from Vance, Musk or the labor secretary-designate.

Long on breathless speculation, leftards, short on comprehension as to why Kamala "oh, the Joy" Harris has lost despite your months of confident boostings, thoughts and prayers.

Musk Announces Plan To Buy MSNBC And Turn It Into A News Network

U.S. — In a dramatic move that could shake up the media industry, Elon Musk has announced his intent to purchase MSNBC and turn the channel into a news network.

Though initially dismissed as an outrageous prank, Musk has remained adamant that he is serious about hiring actual journalists and completely revamping the entire network in order to report real news.

"Admittedly I've been wrong about Musk before, but this is insane," said investor John Stanton. "This would be like buying Taco Bell and turning them all into high-end steakhouses. Doing actual journalism or reading actual news would be a complete paradigm shift."

Despite the naysayers, Musk has received support from several major players in the media industry. "He's already got Joe Rogan and Michael Knowles fighting over who gets to take Rachel Maddow's place," said former MSNBC executive Daniel Montgomery. "Obviously, Knowles has the look. No one is denying that, not even Knowles. What if they really fought over it, though? Rogan would put him out so fast... well, I take that back. Knowles seems kind of squirrely. Man, this is exciting."

At publishing time, Musk had graciously announced that Joe Scarborough could stay on staff as the barista for the company coffee bar.

Impossible, old boy. The shareholders at MSNBC have seen what he's done to Twitter.

He purchased a profit-making "town hall square", fired the moderators and turned it into an platform for extremist conspiritards and fascist propagandists.

Imagine, not even that brought the dollars in. He could have bought Truth Social at a fraction of the price.

Not satire.

You are missing every point, as always, grimacing son of the Hindu Kush.

Twitter is financially insignificant to Musk It is very significant as a free speech forum.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wonder if you would consider supporting the Guardian’s work as we prepare for a pivotal, uncertain year ahead.

The course of world history has taken a sharp and disturbing turn in 2024. Liberalism is under threat from populist authoritarianism. Americans have voted to install a president with no respect for democratic norms, nor the facts that once formed the guardrails of public debate.

That decision means an alliance critical to Australia’s national and economic security is now a series of unpredictable transactions, with a partner no longer committed to multilateralism, nor efforts to curb global heating, the greatest threat we face. We just don’t know where this will lead.

In this uncertain time, fair, fact-based journalism is more important than ever – to record and understand events, to scrutinise the powerful, to give context, and to counter rampant misinformation and falsehoods.

As we enter an Australian election year, we are deeply conscious of zzzzzzz........

That's enough idiotic grimacing.


Donald Trump's decisive victory over Vice President Harris was painful for Democrats — especially those who saw themselves in the candidacy of a Black and Asian woman trying to overcome a range of obstacles in a history-making run for president.

That's why, for many Democrats, Harris' defeat was both a personal setback and a political reckoning for their party as it grapples with a nation that's leaning to the right

A range of obstacles, don't you know. Starting with NEVER being elected for anything, ever, through to being an empty pantsuit flapping in whtever wind is blowing to nobody wanting a 4th O'bama term.

If this was about "the right", dear boy, Liz Cheney would have endorsed her own party.

John Kelly, Mark Milley, John Bolton, on and on and on. All of "the right". None in your tent.

This isn't about left versus right, as every schoolboy knows. It's about facts versus fake news.

That's why you're comparing X to a fact-checked broadsheet news outlet. Whatabout that?

A little bit of this and a little bit of that, innit.

The hound dogs on Trump's trail of prosecutions have been called off. The president can't be impeded by the need to recognise laws. The declaration is for for 'life liberty and pursuit of happiness'.
