It’s been a busy few days in government. We reported today that the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has been put on a cease-work order, effectively putting Big Tech regulations ‘on ice’. https://wrd.cm/4hymHqL
The CFPB Work Freeze Is Putting Big Tech Regulations ‘On Ice’
The cease-work order at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau won’t just affect lawsuits and enforcement actions. It will stall regulation that could govern tech companies like Apple and Google.

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

“I’ve been on the bench for four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented was as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order. Where were the lawyers when this decision was being made?”
