Stop. Doing. Illegal. Shit.
Russ Vought has once again escalated his illegal CFPB shutdown by ordering CFPB cases to be transferred to the DOJ. It’s time for Congress to impeach and remove Russell Vought from power. nteu335.org/2025/11/20/c...

In a day/week/month/year of everything going stinky, this might not seem like much. But. Today the #CFPB is pulling the plug on our program that prints and ships free financial education handouts and booklets. We proudly shipped about 5 million publications every year.

Also, what kind of pathetic nominee agrees to go through a whole nominating process knowing they won't have any authority to do the job?
“Donald Trump’s sending the Senate a new nominee to lead the CFPB looks like nothing more than a front for Russ Vought to stay on as Acting Director indefinitely as he tries to illegally close down the agency" - @warren.senate.gov

Not even trying to hide it 🫠
“A CFPB spokesperson said the nomination was a “technical” maneuver intended to extend Vought’s ability to continue serving as the acting director of the agency without needing Senate confirmation.” /1

Call your congresspeople please. Use 5calls.org for some words to say about restoring funding to the CFPB and stopping Vought. And then call them again tomorrow. And the next day.
This is how it goes: Cheats and liars fill the vacuum Trump & Vought created by illegally stopping work at the CFPB. Who is going to put a stop to this?

I was reading in an empty Metro car. Two women sat down in front of me, chatting in (maybe?) Korean (?). A man stood in front of them. He wanted me to move so he could sit next to me and join their conversation. How odd it felt, when he could have just taken the seat across the aisle and shouted.

Meanwhile Trump & Vought want to shut down the little ole CFPB which returns nearly $2.80 to consumers for every single dollar it spends. #stopvought #savecfpb
Wasting a COUPLE OF BILLION of taxpayer dollars on a silly name change for a department that’s already bloated, wasteful, & can’t pass an audit is a fitting symbol of the Trump administration.
