Save CFPB

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau looks out for YOU and your money. Don’t let the billionaires kill it.
It's almost as though fraudsters and scammers heard the CFPB and FTC have been kneecapped.
“Instead of doing their job, we have watched the Trump CFPB fire its enforcement attorneys, shut down the agency, [and] take the name off the building. So of course, that’s a giant ‘open for business’ sign for every two-bit fraudster in America.”

Trump's administration is abandoning fraud victims. While scammers find more ways to steal 💵, Trump is firing fraud police at #CFPB & #FTC. He's on a rampage to undo safeguards and pardon corporate criminals for cheating Americans out of billions @erinwitte-cfa.bsky.social @savecfpb.bsky.social

During Trump's CFPB Director nomination hearing, it broke that the agency is dropping lawsuits against companies accused of cheating American families out of their money.
This wasn't a coincidence. It shows exactly who is in charge right now: Elon Musk.
