@mikulaja I am always perplexed by people who don’t immediately call their bank and say “this transaction was unauthorized.” And then say “because I was taken negative by an unauthorized transaction, you need to reverse the overdraft charges.”

Consumer advocacy group @BorrowerJustice has asked the CFPB to bring Bilt under its supervision, owing to the risk posed to consumers from the company's problematic transition to new bank partner Column and processor Cardless.

Things are getting wild in Northwest Georgia leading up to today's GA-14 special election — Marjorie Taylor Greene's old district. A mass text went out yesterday that read, "Here is the photo of GAY Clay Fuller CROSS-DRESSING as a WOMAN." Colton Moore denied it was his campaign in a Facebook post.

@mikulaja If I am understanding what you are saying, this is a Reg E issue. Bilt allows you to pay your rent by credit card but requires that you authorized repayment by debit to your bank account -- that would violate Reg E's prohibition on compulsory use.

Either rent/mortgage payments are via Bilt card (CARD Act, TILA apply) or they are not. I suspect some users' confusion is due to Bilt's communication of how housing payments work in "Bilt 2.0"

@mikulaja Illinois has an Anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) law which makes it easier to dismiss bogus litigation designed to silence people speaking on matters of public importance. It allows for quick resolution thus minimizing the cost of defending the suit.

TomoCredit, which numerous complaints on BBB & TrustPilot call a "scam" and "fraud," has filed a meritless defamation lawsuit against me, personally. The company is pressuring me to remove articles & posts, and, per its suit, is asking the court for $1 million in damages.

@Ducky4729251789 @Clay4MainStreet So you admit that you cannot provide a single example of Fuller defying Trump and thinking on his own. Thank you. Also, Trump’s poll numbers are for crap. The vast majority of Americans oppose him on every issue. Tying yourself to a loser like Trump is political suicide.

@stmdc @Clay4MainStreet I hate to break it to you, but his above statement is exactly what a large portion of people in our country are in favor of. Quit watching MSNBC and CNN. It's bad for you.

@BrendanPedersen Political Risk Insurance or ALL Maritime trade through Hormuz? Even if it’s not US owned? They’re definitely not thinking very hard on this stuff.

Trump says he is directing the U.S. Developmental Finance Corp. to “provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade” through Strait of Hormuz

@Ducky4729251789 @Clay4MainStreet Can you cite an example of Fuller thinking on his own and criticizing a Trump policy or position? One example where he said what he thinks instead of what Trump told him to think? Just one?

@stmdc @Clay4MainStreet His above statement is not an example of regurgitates the latest Trump nonsense". It's an example of common sense.

@Osinttechnical Given the Trump administration is opposed to democracy building in the U.S., they can’t very well support it in Iran.
