Good News and Bad News

motherjones:

Which one do you want first?

Bad News: Harvard Professor/All-around badass Elizabeth Warren will not be the head of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, because Republicans are terrified she would use the position to protect consumers.

Good News: Warren’s replacement, former Ohio AG Richard Cordray, is a more than capable replacement—and this frees up Warren to run for Senate next year against Massachusetts incumbent Scott Brown.

F yeah OHIO! GO Cordray

    Yeah, there was sort of no way that Warren would get the position, given all the contention about her possible...
