Trumpβs Reckless Gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
As the cost of living continues to spiral upward, the White House is dismantling the government agency built to protect Americans from financial ruin.
"Vought declined my request for an interview," pretty much says it all. The New Yorker has published a thorough analysis of how he and Trump are conspiring to throw working Americans' and their wallets to the corporate wolves of Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

Opinion | Congressman wants answers on Russell Vought using USAID funds for his security
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois said Voughtβs reported use of funds intended for humanitarian aid to pay for his security detail is an abuse of power.
A lot more people need to start asking a lot more questions about Rusty Vought's spending habits. He flouts the constitution and robs people of the help Congress tried to send them every day he hides behind his massive imperial gaurd. #stop vought

Russ Vought is destroying consumer financial protection β impeach him
Restoring full funding and removing Vought would allow the bureau to do the job Congress assigned it.
"We reversed Voughtβs illegal firings of hundreds of workers. We turned the consumer complaints hotline back on ... and just last month, we forced Vought to partially fund the bureauβs 2026 operations..." #stopvought #savecfpb

CFPB on βlife supportβ one year after it was targeted for shutdown
Consumers are left more vulnerable to scams, fraud, and abusive financial practices WASHINGTON DC β One year after staff at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureauβ¦
Because of this, every veteran and working American has to look over their shoulder for scammers and cheats. This will be true as long as Trump leaves Vought in charge of the CFPB and Congress lets cuts to its funding stand. #stopvought #savecfpb

Consumer Protection Workers Survived DOGE Attacks through Quick Mobilization

If everything had gone according to plan, Russ Vought would have fired every CFPB worker within his first week. Fortunately for the rule of law and every American cheated by the financial sector, very little went according to plan because of union power. βοΈ

As we begin year two in our ongoing campaign to stop the Trump administration from illegally dismantling the CFPB, it's worth reflecting on all that we've accomplished so far. Our latest article in @labornotes.bsky.social details how we survived DOGE and why we must continue the fight.

"Continued advocacy and vigilance is surely needed, but after what we all witnessed at USAID, few could have predicted that the CFPB would make it this far. I, for one, thank my fellow union members for that. Solidarity, and consumer protection, forever."

"The rumors of the bureauβs demise are premature. But to stop Vought from shutting it down for good, Americans must demand Congress restore the bureauβs funding and impeach Vought."
