The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies.
So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed?
For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

Time is running out for you
Stop acting like Lenin trying to fire up the Bolsheviks.
Get on board and help stop gov waste and fraud.
It’s clearly about removing barriers to Musk’s business interests.
Republicans are too scared to speak out.
Btw - how many of drump’s nominees did you vote yes on again? 🤯🤯. Duffy ring a bell?
This is not how the Constitution works.
THIS CHAOS IS ALL ABOUT CONTROL!!
THE CHAOS IS THE SHINY OBJECT!!!
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY R E A L L Y DOING?
States should retain federal taxes for protection of its constituents, until federal government complies with a reasonable Congress budget. Cut off the money flow. Shut down the federal government. Let them fight in Court at least for 4 years.
Today's executive order
The President and the Attorney General (subject to the President’s supervision and control) will interpret the law for the executive branch, instead of having separate agencies adopt conflicting interpretations.

This is not business as usual.
Obstruct! Continuously demand quorum calls and object to unanimous consent, to deny Senate Republicans the ability to enact Trump initiatives.
Stop all confirmations. Put holds on every Trump nominee.
Investigate Patel.
That's a good thing.

Real snake shit
Instead of talking to those that already agree with you that this is horrible, convince your GOP coworkers to wake-up
1) Musk want Xhitter to be in finance regulated by CFPB
2) He now has minions building the sort of database that any bank or credit card company would want with
3) All your tax filings
4) notify.
It’s ALL about lining their pockets. The damage they leave behind is far from any concern for them.
The culture war bullshit is just about making more noise. But in the end it is still…
MAGA = American fascism

Retribution.
Frump + Elmo don’t like CFPB
b/c it goes after fraudulent sales and deceptive practices by companies — RIPPING OFF CONSUMERS—
like Trump University, Teslas with autopilot, Bank fraud.
So this move is retaliatory + a msg to companies to feel free now to rip off Americans.
