Elon Musk is trying to shut down the CFPB, the agency that has forced big banks and corporations to return more than $21 BILLION to families they cheated.

they are trying to install technocracy...go do a little update on his grandfather joshua norman handleman ...he was a neonazi and a technocrate wich pretty close to communism
Change is good we need it. Tools of change should be debate, negotiation and some well reasoned thought then applied with a deft hand. It shouldn’t be dynamite, gasoline and a match or even a sledgehammer. That just destroys that which works as well as that which doesn’t.
It’s amazing that people that need this the most voted to end their own protections, but hey they got their freedom, free to be taken advantage of by corporate America and fleeced by oligarchs just looking for the next billion. Never underestimate the voting power of the angry and uninformed
Absolutely disgusting how corrupt they are. All while maga cheers them on. Just remember, these people didn't vote themselves into office. This is maga voters.
When you think of Musk’s donations to Donald Trump for the 2024 election, Trump sold out America for less than $1 per person. Think about that. That’s nothing. And he sold it to a corrupt businessman who was not born in America and is now gleefully pillaging and burning it down. No America 1st here.
Uh oh!!!! Elizabeth is upset more money laundering is going to be found!!!
Remember..no one has ever audited these agencies.
And now that there is...all hell is breaking loose because she KNOWS this leads back to her and her friends
NOTHING....stops this from rolling .
Nothing. Get use to that
Her rage.
So you're aware how it's going to go.
1. They open the books and see what the money is spent on. (Currently happening)
2. When fraud is found they will order investigations
(They will find it)
3. They start to investigate who received the money after it was shoved through multiple LLCs.
Spouse worked across aisles and was on FSOC during the first transition. Was long time regulator including under D and R governors. That time is gone? Though we saw the signs of dehumanization and delegitimization, they’ve broken the seal. It’s now in the complete m.o. and extremely dangerous. Fight
The legalistic argument does not work with this tyranny. The tyranny is feeding off its long-brewing dehumanization and delegitimization of a good 50% or more of the population and a good 90% of our institutions. They have defined themselves as the real ones. That’s not a small battle.
Boston resident here. Thank you for this. But what should we do to fight? I attended the march on February 5th at the Boston statehouse. No legislators attended that I could see, and very little press coverage. Frustrated with so little public leadership action…
Since the big news stations aren't covering this takeover; have people bring video recorders & old fashioned cameras for pictures. Use old school tape recorders for the sound. Cell phones are discouraged at protests & don't use public WiFi hotspots (to stop hackers). Get people to upload & share it.
voting just happened a few months ago, more people made bad choices than good ones
people need to talk to their friends and family members (those who are not engaged regularly) and let them know the dangers that trump, musk and co present to the country
RI here. To be fair, there wasn't much promotion of the march, mostly just friends sharing with friends on social media. Local news did send reporters here but they too were low-key.
@warren.senate.gov you're trying to fight chaos with order. The MAGA chaos agents are 10 steps ahead. Time for a new plan. Press conferences and performative speeches ain't it. Actions need consequences.
Sadly this is all part of the project 2025 plan to give the president unchecked power...hopefilly the the other two branches of government can stop this ...
The ROI of CFPB is legendary and should not be on Doges list for destruction but Doge should be on their list of frauds against the taxpayer.
Elon don't pay no taxes people.
We need to keep fighting. He's obv. shutting it down because he most likely has or is doing something shady and needs to remove this obstacle. Along with everything else gov't related that was conducting an investigation on his companies; Tesla, SpaceX, and Neurolink.
I personally would like to see more ceos go to jail but since the cfpb was created the republican corporate lackey have nipped away at the power of the watch dogs for decades.
Elon & his merry band of digital brownshirts. Yes, DIGITAL BROWNSHIRTS! That's what is happening here, a deliberate attempt to destabilize our government so Trump can declare martial law. Fight back! Start with "EGGS FOR ELON." If you see him or his brownshirts, introduce them to an overpriced egg.
What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's an inept sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.
I Posit that the $21 billion returned to those with much lower levels of discretionary funds yielded greater economic benefits which will be greatly reduced as the wheels of the economy are gummed up by those suffering from Greed Syndrome.
And what are we doing about this, other than making speeches, glad-handing the constituency, writing strongly-worded letters, and salivating at the thought of primary season?
May you all be primaried straight to hell — for failing to do the jobs we elected you to do.
You become a billionaire by EXPLOITING people and planet - elon is all about making it easier for him to do that because he'll never have enough money/power which is why he is bad for all life on Earth!
Between years on Twitter/X (no longer) & now Bluesky my fingers are getting tired. So many of my replies, as with this one, will simply ask, “But do you know why”? Hint, the “policy” effect is rarely the why.
The mega media and tech CO.’s in America have folded to Trump’s threats and intimidation, some even paying him millions. Congress has proved toothless & the courts are suspect. There’s no one left but we citizens, and our votes, our only power, have been stripped from us. This is the republic dying.
I know CFPB didn't come into being without giving something to Republicans back in 2009 or 2010. But I bet whatever they were given is still in place. No budget help, no deals until we know those deals won't be destroyed by dictator fiat.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau costs $1 million to run annually and it has gotten over $46 billion from companies scamming the American people since its creation after the 2008 crash. Keep lying. I’ll hold your nasty little feet to the fire
26* either way it’s one of the only departments that actually raises money so going after it for “fraud” is a farce. Musk just wants it to not be able to go after him and his friends anymore.
Not only that, but it would regulate musks upcoming entry into the credit card world. He and trimp are looting america and the repugs are standing around watching it happen and cheering.
Thank you, Senator Warren, for keep fighting for us. I know it’s hard and it almost feels insurmountable when looking at someone with 400 Billion in the bank… but we got the integrity and compassion and the grit. Grit, is inside the InteGRITy. Person with integrity, Senator Warren, thank you🙏
It’s is not a free open market if Elon has access to regulations of that market. If he has access to the treasury he has access the the EINs, tax returns, and bank accounts of his competitors, like Ford, Google, Facebook, etc…
FAKE news is pouring out of FakeXTwitter man. We should be so angry he is destroying our country!!! 😡 People are accepting the changes because they are believing the fake news created by EM. We need to push our leaders to take action!!!
Sen. Warren was the first head of this agency, I believe the existence of the agency is down to her efforts as well. It has always struck me as a win-win agency that truly looks out for Americans. One of the few things to point at and say: this works, we need it. Removing it does not help us.
All it takes for MAGA to back him is an accusation of some DEI or 'woke' infraction—then it's carte blanche to tear it all down. It's like a laser pointer for the MAGA crowd
If Democracy truly is dying in plain sight, then why have all of the living former presidents and vice-presidents been absolutely silent? Do they not care?
Ma’am we asked you to stop Elon from stealing from us by shutting down the government. Please do what we ask. Start trying to look like you’re not a centrist but an actual leftest, for the love of GOD
Can you PLEASE go inside with the DC police and drag out elon's people? Harsh words and photo ops OUTSIDE are not stopping elon's people on the INSIDE. Arrest and push away anyone who gets in your way. Get arrested yourself like John Lewis.
We are in coup. There are no legal options left to keep elon from stealing your data and dismantling your government. Will the FBI arrest the DC police? If not the DC police, then the blue state national guard. Rule of Law is gone. Or, do we just accept facism becuase it is legal facism?
I don’t need a lecture about the current situation, thanks. Was just letting you know how shit works in DC. Yes, trump’s DOJ FBI would prosecute DC cops IF he didn’t declare an emergency over it and declare martial law, instead. Only the president can order Nat Guard to protect Fed buildings.
Thanks for the info. Will the blue state Nat Guard be loyal to their Governor or the President, regardless of the law? Stopping/starting coup is not about the law, it about picking laws that help you and ignoring the others. It is about who the organized armed groups are loyal to.
To Congress
Why isn't someone stepping up to be leadership... PEOPLE are worried, scared, feeling like the Democrats have bailed ship???
I've heard Hakeem Jeffries has been in Silicon valley fundraising WTF; he says WE HAVE NO LEVERAGE step back and step down Hakeem. We want Democrats who LEAD! NOW
Thank you for standing up, for making yourself a political target, for taking the insults and the smears, and for doing your damnedest to shield us from what is coming.
The only legal recourse is to impeach Trump now!
Lawsuits cannot be filed against him.
Prosecution of his foot soldiers is useless he will just pardon them.
The only way to stop his gross abuse of power is through impeachment.
Impeachment should remove him from office. It would take a 60% vote which was not achieved in the first two impeachments. Aside from that option Felon 47 would need to step down or die. The courts cannot remove him from office.
Yeah, right after the election Trump stopped talking about making life better for struggling Americans! Mortgage rates are high, food prices are high, he raised prescription drugs and now he and Musk are breaking up the institutions that protect consumers and keep us safe.
The CFPB introduced key regulations, including limits on overdraft fees and a ban on medical debt appearing on credit reports, and has recovered over $17.5 billion for consumers who were harmed by fraudulent or predatory practices.
WE NEED THE CFPB!
the ignorant 47felon voters don't care about prices they will die of starvation for his anti Christ leader. they are just whining people that complain about prices when democrats are in the office.
But the great news is Mahmoud Abbas may be stopping pay to slay. Yeah no money going to the families of these terrorists. Are you getting it yet. Hamas is a terrorist government. Period.
@warren.senate.gov could your office please update us, your constituents, daily, on what actions your office is taking to prevent the illegal activities of the executive branch? Thank you.
Tuned in last night MSNBC... 21B returned back to the people that's an awesome achievement and imagine what that money reinstated back in to the local/national economy would had done. Great job!!!!
We don't see the power of water on boulders and rocks; we see the result of the continuous action of the water. Remember that in the dark days ahead. Film the battles using video cams & old cameras. Record it with tape recorders. Post & share to keep others informed. Don't use cell or WiFi hotspot.
Trump illegally fired over a dozen IGs, and is letting Musk Doge wreck federal agencies authorized by Congress, and signed into law by previous presidents. Now he’s in violation of court orders, likely many. This is grounds for impeachment but the Democrats aren’t even objecting to unanimous consent
Most of us have known Musk doesn’t care about anyone but himself. Sounds familiar? Yes, and because he owns Trump.
He owns Trump so “bigly”that Frumpo had to devise a fake government entity dubbed as DOGE. Senator Warren, I have much respect for you! Keep fighting for our rights and democracy! ✌🏼💪🏼
Elon Musk is busy exposing corrupt Democrats like Elizabeth Warren Chuck Schumer Maxine muddy Waters and many others They're all going to jail and the American public will set an example for any future Democrats that theft will not be tolerated
Rep. Raskin proposed class-action suit against Musk by all US citizens for security breach of our data. But that's Federal. Would civil suit be subject to POTUS pardon power? If, instead, people in each State files a civil suit, would 50 state-court civil suits filed against Musk have any power?
WHat are you actually doing about the coup though? It seems like elected Dems aren't looking at the big picture and are instead choosing to fight battles over single agencies - there is a full-fledged COUP going on and it seems like our elected reps don't even know and/or won't admit it
Exactly we don’t need our $ to be sold out to AI? 97.4 billion that’s where it’s intended was to sell our hardworking to Open AI to bots?! It’s like the Matrix we can’t go there Musk is completely bonkers
He's doing the dirty work for The Heritage Foundation rolling out the Chapters of Proj2025. Russ Vought knows clearly what's going on as well as Stephen Miller.
Senator, that's a mere pittance, and we both know it. As long as banks and other 'financial institutions' can charge 30 pct APY the system is broken -- and the CFPB isn't doing a damn thing about it.
The only thing that will get the attention of the media and to stop Trump is to protest in the streets. Do not be afraid - that is exactly what Trump and Musk is expecting. Stand up and be counted!
Fascist media not covering our protests in good faith!
Participated in two well attended marches Boston & Augusta. Pics are of first arrivals, posts that pic? POS entertainment media!
ALL ages participated despite frigid temps. GO!
Your Presence is URGENT @12n Feb. 17 in DC or your State Capital!
In the late 90's & early 2000's we had to communicate via website, put out an Independent paper, produce our own local cable show and mail out newsletters. Media ignored us. 25 years later, bypass the media & create your own noise with what we have. Boston and Augusta back to back is amazing.
I value your speaking out, but the Dem efforts feel like whac-a-mole. The real issue is that the felon is denying the authority of Congress and the Courts-the other 2 branches of government. He has and is committing treason and needs to be removed.
Trump and Musk are the absolute worst for the USA. They’re gutting the good of what’s in America. They’re planning on stealing sovereign nations; including mine. You lawmakers can find a way to oust Trump and his minions. The USA isn’t Russia‼️
This will be 2008 all over again. The 99% preyed upon. All while Elon and other greedy billionaires profit off of the hard workers of America. FIGHT BACK! No more scams. No more Trump and Dumps. Activate the Grassroots!
And now, if things get really bad, including for them, they have already been primed and many accept that “things have to get worse before they get better.”
The mind is something to be protected. We’re wired for heuristics. I’ve challenged his info sources and he listens and can be persuaded to reconsider but he gets too much input from other cultists 7 days a week and we live very far away. It’s maddeningly bizarre.
My father fell for it. Voted for Trump 3 times. Did not used to think this way. Does not show fervor. Would never put up a sign or a flag. BUT FELL FOR THE CONSPIRACIES. But then I watched the horrible influence of Scientology on my family years ago and its abandonment of my paralyzed mother so…
I am so sorry to hear this. Your family is not alone. When people are scared and uncertain, they often grab at conspiracies as it makes them feel as if they are "in the know."
They know what is "Really going on."
This sounds great if you’re able to vote them out today or in the immediate future but the next election isn’t just around the corner so it kind of makes your fight. This is the time the Democrats to show your voters that you’re fighting for us.
Sen. Warren, it’s time to go on offense. There are thousands of real life examples of ppl who have been helped by CFPB. Get testimonials and then air them all over air and cable. Show Musks net worth interposed with these real life stories. The ads write themselves. Start now please!
You guys need to work harder on this. Mr. Raskin only needs 2 more pubs to impeach him and make it stick.
They can't all be on board with all this happening, bribe them, pay them, give them immunity.. do something or we'll never get to vote again
THE richest man in the world denying food to starving children, denying lifesaving medicine and vaccines to prevent the outbreak of another pandemic. WHY did Americans vote for a dictator!!
The audacity of Democrats to protect the American consumer. I do not understand why anyone who is not ultra rich, votes for Republicans. All they do is harm. 🤨
Not a day goes by when I don’t think about how this country would look with you sitting in the Oval Office. We had a chance for once to stop playing defense and we decided to fight with each other instead. It’s beyond tragic.
US folks you gave Elon the power he now has control of your military and your money. He will make up any lies he wants to make people look like thieves just for total control. Elon and Trump are looking for world dominance and the US people have them the chance to try.
People need to know how these things will hurt them. All people need to know, especially the people who are tuned out right now and the red hat enthusiasts who do not understand reality. Getting this message to all of them is important.

What part of that is not blatantly obvious at this point?

This doesn't stop.
You understand that right?
It won't stop.
He did his homework for 4 years
They can't stop him.
They and he both know this.
And soon..all americans will see what they did to ALL of us for decades

The Weak Need Not Apply
people should reach out to their friends and family members in other locations and have them call their senators and congresspeople
grassroot often requires people to push the rank and file members to generate something to get attention
i have full faith that both aoc and crocket, with their brilliance, will represent more people and will lead with courage
current leaders require additional push and that needs to happen through rank and file
people should talk to their friends and family members
save or pin a page? Thanks
people can also read this book: https://monoskop.org/images/d/df/Critical_Art_Ensemble_Electronic_Civil_Disobedience_and_Other_Unpopular_Ideas.pdf
you can pin a post by tapping on the three dots on your post and that should have the option there
people need to talk to their friends and family members (those who are not engaged regularly) and let them know the dangers that trump, musk and co present to the country
people need to ask them to call their mocs
other mocs and senators need to hear from people they represent
people, friends and family, even in red areas can make noise to push those lawmakers
There's another event on the 17th.
Elon don't pay no taxes people.

This administration has said that they don't intend to comply, and they control the US Marshals, so....
Is there a plan if it gets physical?
Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries:
May you all be primaried straight to hell — for failing to do the jobs we elected you to do.
We vote you in to get results. Can't do that — may you all have the primary polling you deserve.
Because we all know what's going on already. Y'all went on vacation about it.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that there’s no waste in the DOD right?
But, you need to do more now.
Obstruct! Continuously demand quorum calls and object to unanimous consent, to deny Republicans the ability to enact Trump initiatives.
Stop all confirmations. Put holds on every Trump nominee.
Investigate Patel.

We’re here to fight for the agency that fights for us, and we will not let up until we win.

Especially since CU vs FEC our government has devolved into a corrupt as hell nightmare that we citizens wake up to everyday.
Fix it! Let that be the beginning.
