Overdraft fees are essentially just extremely high interest loans and they trap people in a cycle of debt. So this is yet another move from the current President to help most Americans.

If Trump and the GOP win in November, there will be no new federal rules and regulations to protect you. And likely repeals of any you have now.

@michaelmagras What an incredible talent. Back when I was a music student, I had the pleasure of seeing a performance by him in upstate NY. He entered from the balcony, and had to zip line down to the stage. When I met my husband, I knew it was meant to be, because he listened to Schickele Mix, and I didn’t have to explain anything. @bkahn

Farewell to a talented composer and a funny guy. I loved listening to "Schickele Mix." If you haven't heard Peter Schickele's... sorry, I mean P.D.Q. Bach's "Music for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion," you should check it out. This is one of the funnier obituaries you will ever read. #Music #Comedy #PeterSchickele nytimes.com/2024/01/17/arts/mu

If you understand that Covid is airborne, and you can wear a mask, but you choose not to in crowded environments, at the supermarket, in the doctors etc… you’re behaving irresponsibly.

If you’re a healthcare worker and doing these things at work, you’re behaving dangerously irresponsibly.

If you know better, do better.

@mookie@troublemaker.social I always wondered how to do this properly!

@TonyStark You know they're racist when they'd rather put children and senior citizens to work rather than allow an immigrant desperate to work through the southern border.

“For too long, some banks have charged exorbitant overdraft fees — sometimes $30 or more — that often hit the most vulnerable Americans the hardest… Banks call it a service — I call it exploitation.” -President Biden on a new rule to limit bank overdraft fees.

@GottaLaff Trumpitis. She just won’t stop talking crap, and MSM just won’t stop giving her oxygen.

Grotesque and counterproductive mode of dissent. I wish it wasn’t becoming the norm, but it is.

Doctors and nurses and cancer patients are going to end up dealing with this, not whoever these people are trying to target. The rest of it, I’m out of words for.

@otownKim If they’re not careful, they’ll wind up with President Biden until he chooses his own successor. @GottaLaff@mastodon.social

This is what qualifies as good news these days

“Poland’s parliament has voted to remove the immunity from prosecution of a lawmaker who used a fire extinguisher to put out Jewish Hanukkah candles in the country’s parliament in December, an incident that caused international outrage.”
