🤔 At the June 4 House Appropriations Committee hearing, Acting CFPB Director Russell Vought told Congress: “I want to know what career staff thinks. It’s a hallmark of my time at OMB.” Strange! Instead of spending any time with CFPB career staff, he keeps illegally firing us.

This is from OMB Director Vought's appearance at the House Appropriations Committee today. I've been in and out on the hearing, but so far no questions about the CFPB yet. (It's not that surprising. It's a big budget request and the CFPB isn't funded through Congress).

Elon was the lead architect of DOGE. He and his cronies are responsible for gutting our essential services and firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers. He can’t just leave after doing all that and say “but IDK tho” to try and save his reputation.

Vought wants to dismantle our gov and rebuild it into a dictatorship. His weapon is a fringe legal theory called the “unitary executive.” It claims the president should control the entire executive branch, with 🚫✅s from Congress, no independence for the courts, and no oversight from watchdogs. ❌👑.

In 2022, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) sued a payday lending company for fleecing servicemembers. With CFPB largely dismantled due to cuts, I went looking at what the company was up to nowadays. Turns out it might still be at their old ways www.courtwatch.news/p/128-come-f...

Absolutely insane. Has any government agency been more helpful than the CFPB? We need to fight shit like this.

The CFPB has caught cheaters in the financial system and forced them to return about $20 billion directly to the people they scammed. That is the work the Trump team wants to shut down. Without the CFPB on the beat, people get cheated, and they don’t get their money back.

From massive cuts to food assistance, to gutting health care for millions of people, the House budget is a dream for DOGE and a nightmare for working people. Congress must reverse course.

In remarks to a private audience in 2023, Russell Vought, who is Trump’s budget chief and the intellectual force behind Trump’s unprecedented power grab, said he championed the term “invasion” because it “unlocked” extraordinary presidential powers. By @mtredden.bsky.social‬

If Elon was trying to get rid of waste, fraud, and abuse, wouldn’t he would want to work with the agency in charge of checks notes stopping waste, fraud, and abuse? DOGE is about Elon making himself and his billionaire friends richer, plain and simple.

Biden's CFPB finalized a rule banning medical debt from credit reports, which would help 15 million people. Trump's CFPB not only wants to scrap it, but has even joined forces with corporate groups suing to block it. Government for the people vs government for the powerful.

Under the Biden administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized a rule barring medical debt from appearing on credit reports. Now, the agency is siding with the credit industry groups suing to have the rule vacated.

Love the energy of the banana-suit guy at yesterday's Tesla Takedown, who led the crowd in chants of "Elon Musk is un-a-PEEL-ing" before announcing he "had to split" (& got to show Boston the "in the rain or in the snow/they say layoffs, we say NO" chant the CFPB union perfected back in February!)

The CFPB is becoming the Corporate Financial Protection Bureau under Trump. Cases are gutted, fines slashed, and corporate misconduct pardoned. “Lawbreaking is tolerated, and the interests of banks, tech companies and the richest financial companies in the world are paramount.” shorturl.at/J4BTp

DOGE is STILL gutting the federal government. The expert workers who keep planes safe, deliver health care, and run Social Security are being forced out. This is a mass federal brain drain, and they want chaos to replace competence.

Coinbase was aware that support reps were suspiciously accessing customer data when its CEO tweeted that the CFPB should be "deleted". Among other things, the CFPB has pursued legal action against financial companies that failed to secure sensitive customer data.

“The agency that Congress created after the last financial crisis to help prevent another is currently completely handcuffed from working,” said one attorney at the CFPB, who asked to remain anonymous... “And we are on the verge of another major financial crisis, so it’s terrifying."

CFPB just quietly killed a rule that would've protected millions of Americans, including service members, from having their sensitive data sold to the highest bidder. We won't stay silent while veterans and everyday Americans are left exposed. 📖 Read more via @wired.com 🔗 bit.ly/cfpb-kills-r...

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t just about tax cuts it quietly guts federal protections and reshapes entire agencies. Here’s what’s buried inside:

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has successfully: ➡️ Reduced credit card late fees from $32 to $8, ➡️ Cut big bank overdraft fees from $35 to $5, and ➡️ Stopped banks from charging you more because of medical debt on your credit report. Protect consumers. Protect the CFPB.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 BILLION to consumers—so why are Trump, Musk, and their allies trying to gut it? Because they want that money to fund tax cuts for billionaires over hardworking American people. Keep your grubby #PawsOffCFPB! @nteu335.bsky. social
