The committee's GOP majority voted down the amendments along party lines, and the committee ultimate voted to advance the TAKE IT DOWN act out of committee with the same language as the version that already passed the Senate. It's now one step from passage, and Trump has pledged to sign it into law.

In addition to dropped lawsuits, dozens of ongoing investigations into alleged corporate malfeasance are now frozen at CFPB, potentially denying accountability and financial relief for untold numbers of consumers, ProPublica found.

“Rather than cosplaying as a medical professional and spreading misinformation on the internet, perhaps Elon Musk should focus on his rapidly deteriorating business portfolio and the growing American rage at his hostile takeover of government,” 🔥🔥
