#governmentoverthrow — Public Fediverse posts

#Trump referred to a “partnership” between #Venezuela & the #UnitedStates, which he said would make Venezuelans “rich, independent & safe.” Of course, this was a partnership accomplished by a #GovernmentOverthrow.

#Trump has fired the director of the #Consumer #Financial #Protection Bureau, #RohitChopra, in the latest #purge of a #Biden admin ofcl.

Chopra was one of the more important #regulators from the previous admin. Chopra’s tenure saw the removal of #MedicalDebt from #CreditReports & limits on #overdrafts #penalties, all based on the premise that the financial system could be fairer & more competitive in ways that helped #consumers.
