Every time I hear about Private Equity, it’s stripping a business for parts to extract wealth and avoid any consequences to the private equity firm. What’s going on?
#SenatorWarren
Thank you, Elizabeth Warren, and your deep love of receipts.
Special Interests Over the Public Interest: Elon Musk's 130 Days in the Trump Administration
A great report from Senator Elizabeth Warren that documents Musk's massive conflicts of interest, opportunism, and work to curtail regulations, enforcement actions, etc.

Bingo, thanks for calling out the #corruption #senatorwarren.
#trump is making all his friends in the #oligarchy more money by tanking our #stocks and buying them back at pennies on the dollar. This is a #kleptocracy.

#rally tomorrow 2/10 at 4:15 at 1700 G Street NW to defend the #cfpb Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. This agency has saved ordinary Americans BILLIONS in onerous fees and other sneaky business practices, so of course, the #gop wants to eliminate it to make sure those billions go to the fat cats. Let’s join #SenatorWarren and #makesomenoise #holdtheline
#rape #sexualassault #violenceagainstwomen #maga #ChristianNationalism - #Hegseth Told #Senatorwarren He Paid $50,000 to Woman Who Accused Him of Rape. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/us/politics/hegseth-payment.html The settlement’s existence after a 2017 accusation had been documented before the defense secretary nominee’s confirmation hearing this month, but the amount had not been known publicly. #defense #military #war #character #integrity #politics #nationalism #hatred
Nice to see someone's going after this from the legislative side:

Six #Senators accuse #JPMorgan’s #JamieDimon of backtracking on #climate commitments
Although a climate-disrupted world demands stronger action by the financial sector to reduce #emissions and protect nature, the Wall Street firm is heading in the opposite Demanding clarification about intentions of world’s biggest #bank. #SenatorWarren: “If #JPMorganChase has misled #investors and the public, both #Congress and regulators have a range of tools to respond as necessary.”

Shame on the Dems who for decades have let it lapse due to neoliberal delusions. And of course kudos to #POTUSBiden for supporting renewed enforcement. And to #SenatorWarren, a prime mover behind these critical efforts.
#Senator #ElizabethWarren claims #TurboTax ‘relentlessly’ upsells customers in letter to #FTC
#SenatorWarren says #Intuit TurboTax ‘deserves’ the FTC’s scrutiny.
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has written a letter to the Federal Trade Commission, saying that TurboTax "continues to relentlessly upsell" customers while also directing them away from services that would otherwise be #free.

#Meta, you know #Facebook, Refuses to Answer Questions on #Gaza #Censorship, Say #SenatorWarren and #SenatorSanders
In the days after October 7, Meta said it removed more than 2 million pieces of Hebrew and Arabic content, but didn’t break down the data. https://theintercept.com/2024/03/26/meta-gaza-censorship-warren-sanders/
@b_fung wait #twitter is subpoena #senatorwarren ?
Ok time for the #senate to get involved this runaway #billionaire crap is too much
@kottke @marcprecipice
1) Just a reminder that as #AI and #chatbots are taking off, demand for #electricity and other #energy usage will also increase. We should keep this in mind as we discuss advances in #InformationTechnology.
2) As #SenatorWarren pointed out recently, big-money #ransomware #cybercrimes will only use #cryptocurrency for payments.
I don't foresee the politicians, who are in the hands of big-money donors, ending #crypto completely. But at the very least they should find a way to regulate it and bring it under control.
#connectingthedots
Confronting #fascist s requires going after the support structure.
Uline company/family has poured money into “project redmap” & right wing talk etc for decades they & other big money have been instrumental in flipping traditional blue Midwest districts red & locking it in with #gerrymandering etc.
Fighting the worst policies with taking this on us like fighting infantry without going after supply lines that’s why we need people like #SenatorWarren & not Clinton or Biden
More market consolidation (monopolization) for our ersatz rather than free market #economy
This is getting ridiculous
.
“Microsoft is preparing to launch a new app store for games on iPhones and Android smartphones as soon as next year if its $75 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard is cleared by regulators. “
.
BTW ersatz monopolistic economies are what #fascism loves. When need more #SenatorWarren types and less #corporate #democrats
Seems like there is a full court press on the federal reserve to stop raising #interestrates
Then again Powell is a sociopathic idiot, and people like #Senatorwarren have been saying he shouldn’t have been put in the job since before he was.
Their decision is coming in the next day or so
