We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

Professor @jsovern was quoted in "CFPB under pressure as consumer complaints pile up" in The Banker.

Last fall, one of my students got a paid internship with a federal agency for this summer. Because of the hiring freeze, it was cancelled. In the meantime, the student lost the opportunity to seek other jobs. Cutting promised internships is a cruel way to reduce spending.

Better yet, delete X.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@dorajfacundo @pmarca Delete CFPB. There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies.

Tomorrow's breaking news today: @KamalaHarris makes history, first woman elected president.

That's what my final analysis tells me will happen. I'm usually right (better track record than the polling averages & most polls), but not always.

This video is incredible.

Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is in the business of promoting economic justice. A second Trump administration might permanently damage the agency’s ability to deliver for American consumers, writes @JSovern, of @UMDLaw, in @AmerBanker @BankThink.https://t.co/tSwZwAgCOn

[Jeff Sovern @jsovern]

Walz should've said I'm sorry. I made a mistake. The same way Trump and Vince did when they said that the legal Haitian migrants are eating cats and dogs and when Trump said windmills cause cancer and so forth. Except no one is phoning in bomb threats because I made a mistake.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

this was a bad moment for Walz but him misrepresenting when he went to China by a couple months doesn't strike me as hugely important

Prof. @jsovern discusses Kamala Harris's proposal for a federal law barring price gouging in a letter to the editor in @washingtonpost. https://t.co/mFzhWMnGqP

[Washington Post Opinions @PostOpinions]

"Many states already do something similar, including Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Texas," @jsovern writes.

"Surely those states, which purport to be bastions of the free market, are not mandating price controls." https://t.co/FxmvV7QBWN

[Jeff Sovern @jsovern]

It’s weird that he thinks that.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Trump (who is weird): They’re the weird ones! Nobody's ever called me weird. I'm a lot of things, but weird I'm not. And JD Vance is not either

That anyone would name @MyriamGilles10 as anything other than an exemplar of academic and institutional excellence… shows what a disqualifying desperate reach the “lawsuit” is.

The laughing emoji doesn’t quite capture. As others have written, if it were not so bigoted…
