We stand in solidarity w/ Fed Gov Cook & all public servants working to keep our financial system safe for everyday people. ❤️

This fucking guy….
The CFPB is running out of money, and thanks to the Republican reconciliation bill it can't ask for more even if Russ Vought wanted to (he doesn't). It's all a part of the plan.

NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.

The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy
Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story ...

No. It is not.
One last question: Acting CFPB Director Russell Vought has been ordering the agency's chief operating officer, Adam Martinez, to sign a series of embarrassing declarations and sent out these emails.
At some point you have to start asking, is it worth it?

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN?
Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it.
Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

some reporters have been too loose with phrasing like DEI. makes it sound like it's all abt post-George Floyd murder stuff. As he notes, they're ditching anti-discrimination policies that go back to LBJ.
If DEI has just "gotten out of hand," then why is the Trump administration going all the way back to a 1965 LBJ civil rights executive order for repeal?
