In February, Vought told the Federal Reserve & a federal judge he was requesting $0 of the $329m available, because CFPB had too much money. Now that it's running out, he has a new excuse.

Don't let Vought keep stealing from you. Tell Congress: restore CFPB funding & fire Vought NOW! nteu335.org
An excerpt from Russell Vought's public letter to the Federal Reserve Chair on February 7, 2025: This letter is to inform you that for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025, the Bureau is requesting $0. During my review of the Bureau’s finances, I have learned that the Bureau has a balance of $711,586,678.00 in the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Fund. By law, I must take account of this sum when determining the amount “reasonably necessary” for the Bureau to fulfill its statutory authorities. Id. I have determined that no additional funds are necessary to carry out the authorities of the Bureau for Fiscal Year 2025. The Bureau’s current funds are more than sufficient—and are, in fact, excessive—to carry out its authorities in a manner that is consistent with the public interest. In the past, the Bureau has at times opted to maintain a “reserve fund” for financial contingencies. But no such fund is required by statute or necessary to fulfill the Bureau’s mandate. The Bureau’s new leadership will run a substantially more streamlined and efficient bureau, cut this excessive fund, and do its part to reduce the federal deficit. Sincerely, /s/ Russell T. Vought Russell T. Vought, Acting Director

A headline on PYMNTS read "CFPB Says It's Been Barred From Drawing Federal Reserve Funds. The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) continues to operate, but its days could still be numbered." while Russ Vought wears a hot dog suit and reassures us "We're all trying to find the guy who did this"

Pre-Vought, CFPB returned $183 million to servicemembers & veterans & processed over 400,000 complaints from servicemembers & their families.

Vought barred Office of Servicemember Affairs from talking to the public, denying direct services to over 6,500 servicemembers so far this year. #StopVought
CFPB Union members attend a rally in Chicago wearing red union "SOLIDARITY" t-shirts and holding signs that say "We Want To Work," "SOLIDARITY," and "NTEU". The caption on the photo says "CFPB Worker Stories: Under Vought, we have become an agency that protects the interests of financial institutions instead of consumers."

When Senator Reed called Russell Vought out for firing CFPB staff that protect veterans and servicemembers, Vought whined that the courts won't let him. #stopvought #savecfpb #nobadbudgetinourname

We are workers, veterans, union members. We are immigrants, citizens, Americans.

We are the majority of working people who’ve had ENOUGH of Vought’s lawless, unconstitutional attacks on our public services. Add your signature and join the movement to STOP VOUGHT! www.change.org/StopVought

The #GOPShutdown is Vought's latest attack on our public services.

Vought bragged he’s "having fun" cutting funding for cancer research.

Vought sided w/health insurance CEOs & debt collectors to block a CFPB rule that would have canceled $50 Billion in medical debt on Americans’ credit reports.

Donald is tearing down The People's House to make more room for rich people, just like his thirsty Grim Creeper Russy Vought is tearing down consumer protection so big banks, crypto kings and fraudsters can take more money from you. #stopvought #savecfpb

On their first day, all federal workers swear an oath, and that oath is to *the people.*

Today in Washington DC, NTEU 335 members led a huge group of federal workers in reaffirming our oath to the people. ❤️✋
A woman in a gray hat that looks like a Keith Harrington painting speaks into a microphone while raising her right hand. A man in a green hat holds a megaphone amplifier up in the air above her. Before them stands a crowd of about 100 federal workers with their right hands raised in the air as they recite their oath of office. There is a pink and purple banner that says SOLIDARITY | CFPB UNION | NTEU 335 and a red banner that says Federal Unionist Network. [The complete oath of office is: I, ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
