Hours after Russell Vought took over as acting head of the CFPB, its website is down. This is awful — and likely will be challenged — but they’re also unleashing Elizabeth Warren at a whole new level now.

Look, I very much don't like how we got here, but having the privilege of witnessing Elizabeth Warren reach her final boss form is extraordinarily exciting.
Democrats need to use the only real leverage they've got and not engage at all in the budget process. What's the use? musk is going to decide what gets shut down and what doesn't. The Dems need to shut the government down. Republicans have all three branches. It'll be on them.
Friend, you're supposed to be taking care of yourself so you get healthy sooner! Not meant as a nag, just to say I value your work and care about your ability to keep on keeping on ❤️
The stupid is too stupid. The action is intended to enrage and enjoy two sides through their preferred media outlets. Getting people riled up (rightly so) to goad a response and prepare for the planned-for counter response (police and soldiers).
Exactly. I’d love to hear the explanation on how this helps the American people. This directly benefited millions of Americans protecting them from shady financial institutions.
@chrisgeidner.bsky.social if you look at her bio on social media she lists herself as a wife, mother to several kids including the CFPB.

The CFPB helped me recover money from a bank that refused to release money from a small estate account. Exactly the kind of government action that Trump and Elon hate.
My day job is working for Americans for Financial Reform, an organization that was formed to fight for the creation of CFPB. We want to hear more of these kinds of stories, so we can fight back. Any chance we could DM about your experience?
Notice the timing with Duetche Bank with this? It's not a coincidence. CFPB did a ton of damage to Duetche Bank for corrupt actions, plus that's where 🍊💩 did business for his failed businesses and his trump org
Over the next months, we will find out which electeds are about that life and who is there to maintain the status quo and collect checked. Have to say, though, it has been a really disappointing two weeks for dem "leadership."
JFC. CFPB literally rescued me last week to get fraudulent charges removed from my cc account. I went round and round with the cc company to no avail. Another protection for the little guys gone. #ElizabethWarren is an American hero. Go get ‘em!
Good. @warren.senate.gov needs to know the GOP are done with democracy, they’re looking to set up a “post constitutional order”. They think Biden stole an election so they’re gonna steal the government & give it to a foreign billionaire. If they keep up, we’ll have a new government by the midterms.
What is nonsensical about demanding democrats have some fire and fight? All they do is play by the rules and give press conferences and send tweets while republicans are burning the country to the ground.
What exactly do you propose? Performance bullshit is still bullshit. It doesn’t work when they have zero power to follow up. First you were pissed because they WEREN’T giving press conferences & speaking out. Never mind it’s been a WEEK & happened while Congress was in recess. Now you’re mad
One of their first actions was to shut down an attorney stealing money from homeowners with fraudulent promises to modify their mortgages. That disbarred attorney is a big Trump supporter. Chance E Gordon.
LMOA. Fucking clowns all of you. You hate Trump so much you're willing to burn this country to the ground. The only people damaging this country right now are YOU. Get the fuck out of my country while you're still breathing.
That isnt a threat BTW, it is a certainty. You idiots are going to keep pushing until your standing at the wrong end of a rifle. The civil war was fought for less. Think Im bullshitting? Buy food, prepare, you were warned.
This is a travesty. The #CFPB has done excellent work on behalf of the American people. Medical debt off credit reports, caps overdraft fees, returned money from fraudulent business activities… This org and the people who work there care about America.
Those of us who use CFPB guidelines daily have them to memory as we are required to certified. Records we be retianed that they can't touch. The Heritage fucker is going to have a hard time making any of this disappear.
Wow you mean they dont want to protect consumers? The billionaire running our govt? But conservatives still avert their eyes. “Hes getting rid of waste. He is draining the swamp.” What can open their eyed aside from their own related personal emergency? We cant wait for that.
I posted something yesterday about scientists actively archiving information so it isn't lost. I was relieved to hear that. Hopefully everyone in every department is doing the same.
Well, for what it's worth, someone at EEOC turned this page back on after someone foolishly thought they could take down the guidance about EEO compliance without HR managers having a heart attack.

probably a lot better off.
And I want Frost and Waters and Ocasio Cortez to find a couple more fighters and "By Our Powers Combined" themselves into Captain Democracy.
They’ve been instrumental in holding the line. We need more like them!
I’m in my 60’s.
