Meanwhile during the election this is what FTC Chair Lina Khan was doing.
On Tuesday, we sued Dave, a cash advance lender, for hitting consumers with hidden fees and sneaky “tips.” This builds on our work cracking down on junk fees that rip off consumers.

Wonderful mass call RN with movement luminaries @rahnamepting @MauriceWFP @Leahgreenb @JudithLeBlanc - honoring our work and embarking on joint strategy
We are not going anywhere.
Our work didn't end on election night, it did not end when we learned the outcome, and it won't end tonight.
History has shown us that with each set back, our fight for progress comes back stronger, louder, more effective.

We are undeterred.
"Trump’s re-election cannot be an excuse for other nations to scale back ambition...
Developing nations can stand together and lead efforts to redirect funds from fossil fuels into renewable projects that benefit their communities."

And—of course—it doesn't just matter in Wisconsin.
The swing towards Trump was roughly half as big in the 7 battlegrounds as it was nationally.
Each of these states will remain critical.

Today is a hard day. We may be heartbroken & discouraged, but we still have a country to care about.
I want to thank every person who worked their heart out, volunteering & fighting for our future. Take a deep breath, take care — our children & grandchildren are relying on us.

I'm devastated and I know you are too.
And I'm holding on to this: the fight for American democracy is bigger than any one election.
We were fighting for a just democracy yesterday. We'll be fighting for a just democracy tomorrow.
The fight will be harder. We will hold each other up.
It will be frightening. We will have each others' backs.
It will be longer than we hoped. We'll rest when we need to.
I wish so very badly that we were celebrating today. I don’t think any of us can claim we’ll have all the answers immediately.
But we will rise to this moment - with love for each other, with ferocious determination to protect everything we can, and with every ounce of the power that we still have and the power that we will build.
And I believe that we will win.

This is an incredible article about Mayor Pete, Tim Wu, flying, government, how ideas change lives.
Seriously: put aside 20 minutes, get a cup of coffee, and learn about the antitrust revolution in action.

The Dem Govs all coordinating to dress up as Tim Walz for Halloween is the greatest thing ever.

Former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party, Gary Reed is voting for Harris:

“My name is Mary Morello and I voted today. I’m 101 years old and I worked closely with people who fought and died for the right to vote and I owe it to them to vote as long as I can. I think it’s good to act up and protest as much as you can before, during and after the election for what you think is right too, no matter who wins the election. But we got to stop the racist people and fascist people every which way we can so I’m gonna vote.”
My cousin’s first ever canvassing shift in Grand Rapids yesterday! In her words: “This is actually pretty fun and the Minivan app works so well!” #GOTV #Kamala @MichiganDems

3/ They're all awash in this world of casual racism, ironic provocation, not just misogyny but a weird emotionally-stunted kind of misogyny that to normal people isn't just often either offensive or weird but even kind of inexplicable because it's a very weird ...

The strategy is familiar and predictable by now. A pile of outrageous statements - all to ensure we spend the next days talking about him, not about you and not about how Kamala Harris will make life more affordable and restore the right to choose that he took away. It’s bait.
Great second day canvassing with this crew in Grand Rapids - if you’re on the fence about canvassing next weekend - it’s totally worth it especially with wonderful friends ❤️❤️#GOTV #Kamala @dannyksfun @kellyblynn
