Email to Angus King, February 8, 2025

Thank you, Senator King, for your vote against Vought and for you brave, eloquent, and accurate speech on the Senate floor. Where is our other Maine senator in this fight?
It's hard to keep up with the pace of chaos - I remember a high school principal telling me once about a mill near him growing up, how it took years to design and build it but only seconds to destroy it.
I'm hoping that you'll bring the CFPB to the spotlight - it's one of the unheralded success stories, in my view, of government regulation. Tens of billions of dollars have been returned to defrauded individuals and banks overseen to prevent the worst abuses. Also, it's not funded by income taxes. I know that it's been on the radar of finance and industry since its inception and has bravely, steadily worked to keep to its mission. Please help efforts to prevent Musk from "deleting" it. I see his minions got access yesterday and notice their homepage content is gone.
So many issues. You can't be getting much sleep. I'm certainly not.
Thanks again.
