National Review: The Supreme Court Should End the CFPB’s Reign of Regulatory Terror
The CFPB has failed to protect consumers from fraud, instead making it more difficult for lower-income Americans to access loans and credit cards. Senate Republicans have called the agency “lawless and unaccountable”, with an “arrogant regulatory ethos” that harms millions of Americans. The CFPB is effectively unaccountable and has stretched and abused its regulatory powers beyond its remit. Its unconstitutional actions have led to unnecessary costs for businesses and households. The Supreme Court should rule the CFPB’s charter and funding unconstitutional, and defund the agency altogether.
The Federalist Papers: The Real Reason Why Tucker Carlson Was Fired Has Been Revealed: Report
Fox News' decision to cancel Tucker Carlson's show was reportedly part of an unwritten promise made to Dominion Voting Systems as part of a settlement agreement in a lawsuit. Dominion sued Fox News for its coverage of claims about Dominion's equipment in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. According to a report in Variety, Dominion wanted to inflict long-term damage on Fox News and hoped that by blacking out the network's top-rated show, the network would lose viewers. The report claimed that if Fox refused to get rid of Carlson, the settlement was off and Fox News could take its chances in a jury trial.

The Epoch Times: Senators Rip Former Silicon Valley Bank CEO for Executive Payouts Prior to Bank's Collapse
Senators criticize the former CEO of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Greg Becker, for distributing bonuses and selling stock in the bank shortly before its collapse. Senators denounce Becker’s actions, stating that he paid himself a $1.5 million cash bonus even as the company declined. SVB suffered from a bank run and was taken over by regulators in March 2022. Senators raise concerns that regulators issued over 30 supervisory warnings to SVB before its collapse, information that was not made public at the time. Becker sold $3.6 million worth of SVB stock on February 27, shortly before regulators seized the bank. Senator Brown (D-Ohio) is currently working on a bill that aims to empower regulators to reclaim compensation from executives of failed banks.
Senators criticize SVB for its rapid growth and compensation policies that rewarded executives for taking on excessive risks without hedging against the risk of rising interest rates. Senators direct their scrutiny towards Becker due to the collapse of SVB, which sparked a crisis of confidence in banks and compelled regulators to safeguard all of SVB’s uninsured deposits. Since March, three out of the four largest bank failures in the United States have occurred. Becker told senators that no bank could have withstood the social media-fueled bank run on SVB. SVB faced a withdrawal of $42 billion from its depositors, consisting of tech companies and venture capitalists, in a single day. Senators assert that SVB’s actions were driven by excessive greed and emphasized that the company had failed to fill key risk management positions.
