That’s not a bug—it’s a critical feature. SCOTUS must reject Trump’s illegal attempts to undo a century of law and protect the FTC. @consumerfed.bsky.social08 Dec 2025 18:07 +0000at://did:plc:uuw6bbgbc6jdknhbebscveou/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7imq2ocj22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/erinwitte.bsky.social/post/3m4qwtt4qh22pTell your state to end subscription traps (and check out our website!)

Families are drowning in car debt, the FTC abandoned the CARS rule and the CFPB is pardoning predatory auto lenders.

Airtight American logic from the 8th Circuit.

Maybe instead of a baby bonus, you could just sue the companies that are stealing wages from moms?
