Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Trump abruptly fired Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Rohit Chopra, ending his tenure as a key Biden-era regulator retained from the previous administration.

Chopra oversaw sweeping reforms that removed medical debt from credit reports and limited overdraft penalties, measures widely seen by critics as regulatory overreach.

In a social media post, he thanked loyal supporters for helping the bureau hold powerful companies accountable and prepare policies to block foreign data surveillance.

Critics warned his dismissal clearly signals the end of consumer protections and a rollback of the agency’s mission.

And the Proton CEO said Republicans are the ones looking out for the little guy. Hey Andy Yen, feeling like a hypocritical asshole yet?

Guess why my bank thought it was okay as of today to charge me 5.95 overdraft my account for billpay fee, when I have never used billpay and don't have it setup. But they will charge me a 35 dollar overdraft fee on it. Got wait until Monday and agrue that they should remove it.

Had this account for 10 plus years and just last two weeks they pulled similar stunt. First was changing me 5.99 for a monthly mataince fee. They claim that was normal but never gotten it before in 10 years. They remove that. But now they pull this. Probably because now can't file a complaint to the CFEB.
