We're disappointed by today's decision. For nearly a century, the Supreme Court's precedent has recognized Congress's power to create independent agencies that serve the public interest. That precedent remains the law of the land and we will continue to defend it. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Good example of the utter havoc CFPB employees' lives have become in the last two months: a Republican attorney realizing, when faced with the destruction in the CFPB's ranks: "That’s the story of DOGE: Some things you break, and you can’t get it back together." www.theassemblync.com/politics/cha...

@durbin.senate.gov how much money will Chicago and down state communities have to lose before you vote no on the cr cloture? Are you happy this administration is tearing down our government that you’re willing to give them a blank check to keep doing it? When will it be enough for you?

@cortezmasto.senate.gov how could you possibly vote yes on this cr cloture, so that Doge and trump can continue the unabated tearing down of the us government?!?? Now that ssa, medicaid, ed, Va, fa, irs, treasury, CFPB are all torn down, what precisely is the hill you’re willing to die on?

Today, I heard from CFPB employees who were illegally fired by Trump. These attacks don't just hurt these dedicated workers—they hurt all of us. CFPB has returned $21 billion to consumers who have been scammed or wronged. I wonder why Trump and Elon Musk want to gut it...

During Trump's CFPB Director nomination hearing, it broke that the agency is dropping lawsuits against companies accused of cheating American families out of their money. This wasn't a coincidence. It shows exactly who is in charge right now: Elon Musk.
