I'm a little skeptical myself, but I'll wait and see how this plays out.

Thanks for all you are doing. They are still trying to "delete" CFPB by terminating staff. Is there more litigation pending on behalf of the workers?

Thank you!!

Thank you for doing this. Thanks to them for listening to courts (so far). But do realize, their end game is to appeal until they land in the court of the Cannons of the world.

Thank you!

There has got to be a loophole that they will exploit because of bad faith. Does the agreement say anything about resuming operations?

If I wasn't an atheist, I'd say the CFPB is doing god's work!

Well done, https://DemocracyForward.org

“The CFPB protects all Americans from predatory & discriminatory practices. It has returned $20B back to the American public, yet again, it is unfortunate we've had to resort to litigation to protect this consumer watchdog.”

Hello Master Elrond. Nice to meet you. Live in Folsom. My parents lived in GB fro 89-2013. I have seen a lot of the Japanese Nisei influence in the GB/Loomis/Penryn/Newcastle area.

They will, however, appoint leaders and directors that make the agency miserable and dysfunctional.

And so it will be up to We the People to hold them accountable. As long as we are scrutinizing their every move, they will not have free rein. #Resist #DoNotObeyInAdvance #Accountability

Go!!!🫶🏼

susanlynne.bsky.social•106 days ago

Great. I hope they follow thru but based on recent actions I won’t hold my breath but hope I am wrong

mayabastet.bsky.social•106 days ago

Thank you for the good work you're doing.

jenxyz.bsky.social•106 days ago

If consumers don't have CFPB, how are Big Banks, Wall Street, hedge funds predatory tactics different from ISIS and Taliban?

charissla.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yeah right

So let's use the time to get ORGANIZED! Credit Mark Cuban for putting the idea in my head to develop a national strategy for responding to Trump 2.0. Note that on my Substack I'm also chronicling the actions of Trump 2.0. (There's a compact, continuously updated list for your reference.)

cocobohn.bsky.social•106 days ago

They are just firing everyone instead

Riiiiiiiight....pardon me if I don't believe him...

Good progress! Last night the right-wing DOGE boy hackers had their https://doge.gov website hacked. The website where they had already posted sensitive federal workforce private data exfiltrated from OPM systems. Stop the Digital Blitzkrieg! https://www.404media.co/anyone-can-push-updates-to-the-doge-gov-website-2/

But they’re still allowed to fire hundreds of workers?

The continuous playing with people's lives and willful ignoring of policies, procedures, and the law continues. Every time a department sends out a notice about firing people should be another tick mark on the list of reasons to impeach not only Felon, but the department heads as well.
