"It’s created costly confusion while undermining the very services taxpayers depend on,” @repgregstanton.bsky.social re: GSA reversing firings. Trump's lackey Russell Vought can't wait to make the same mistake by firing CFPB workers. Waste, fraud and abuse. apnews.com/article/doge...

Trump toady Russell Vought is more than happy to shut down scrutiny of companies that have wronged their own consumers. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

We stand with our brothers and sisters at other agencies who can't protect Americans because of Donald Trump and his toadies. Here at the CFPB, Russell Vought is taking us apart piece by piece so his friends in crypto and the big banks can take advantage of consumers.

If you're really concerned about fraud, you wouldn't destroy the one agency in charge of stopping fraud.

So much solidarity to our brave colleagues at HUD! ✊ “We took an oath to defend the constitution. These are the moments we took that oath for” 🔥

Fraudsters and big banks bilking consumers can't wait for Trump Toady Russell Vought to fire CFPB workers. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib asked three industry witnesses if it was smart for CFPB to drop its fraud lawsuit against the big bank owners of payment system Zelle, which alleged consumer losses of $870 million+. They claimed not to be familiar with the lawsuit. 🤔 prospect.org/economy/2025...

Anyone notice the amazing CFPB merch (the SOLIDARITY shirt, a phoenix) in today’s House Financial Services Committee hearing today? Want your own?? cfpbunion.shop/products/cfp... cfpbunion.shop/products/cfp... All proceeds support federal workers!

Happening Now: @nclc4consumers.bsky.social's Carla Sanchez-Adams tells Congress how to protect consumers from fraud. Note the CFPB worker/NTEU 335 member in the red t-shirt looking on!: #savecf

CFPB workers are passionate about what we do to protect consumers. We oversee the very laws (like EFTA aka Reg E) that provide anti-fraud protections. We just want to do our jobs. Russell Vought must stop defunding CFPB, and request our allotted funding from the Fed by Sep 30th. #SaveCFPB

I am losing my mind listening to the House Financial Services Committee hearing about fraud. They're talking about how fraud is on the rise and how Americans are at risk, how we need a nationwide response. Like...the nationwide response was the CFPB, the agency Trump killed.

Happening Now: Rep. Al Green calls out Trump for fostering fraud by killing the CFPB! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FOs...

Just noticed that there are @nteu335.bsky.social members are in the audience wearing red shirts that say SOLIDARITY ✊

Paul Benda of the American Bankers Association calls for more regulation of data brokers to combat fraud and scams. That’s strange… When the CFPB proposed just that, ABA opposed it. www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/new... www.aba.com/advocacy/pol...

We agree, Mr. Chairman, fraud IS a growing problem. Too bad Trump's Congress has cut the CFPB's funding in half. Half the budget, twice the fraud. If you're worried about financial fraud, call your Rep. and Senators now and tell them to restore our funding. #SaveCFPB x.com/FinancialCmt...

Starting soon! Hearing on the House Financial Services Cmte entitled Fraud in Focus: Exposing Financial Threats to American Families: financialservices.house.gov/calendar/eve... #SaveCFPB

Everyday Americans deserve a CFPB director who spends less time scheming how to protect wealthy special interests and bankrupt the CFPB with million-dollar security details and more time actually getting money back to everyday consumers.

@delauro.house.gov exposing Trump Toady Russell Vought. He is also dismantling the CFPB. It will cost consumers billions and enrich his friends in crypto and the big banks. @delauro.house.gov, sign our petition to impeach Russell Vought & help restore our funding. prospect.org/power/2025-0...

Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is gaslighting the country about the CFPB's priorities under his leadership.

Project 2025 architect Russell Vought said he’d prioritize consumer redress at the CFPB. In truth, he’s done the exact opposite.

"This is a manufactured crisis by Russ Vought who failed in his duties as Acting Director by refusing to request the funds necessary for the CFPB to fulfill its statutory obligations. Everyday Americans defrauded and scammed by big banks and corporate bad actors will suffer as a result.”

Trump toady Russell Vought has until Sept 30 to access over $329 Million in authorized CFPB funding, but he has refused. Seems like returning nearly $1 Billion to ripped off Americans isn't as important as shutting down the CFPB. Read more -

Trump officials, in their haste to shrink the federal bureaucracy, “didn’t really consider whether there were some aspects of the CFPB that might be useful for their projects and what they might have to do to preserve them.” 😮 You don't say.

"The demise of the CFPB will harm hard-working families, veterans and seniors, while corporate profits climb and Silicon Valley and Wall Street celebrate." www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

CFPB complaints about big banks and other companies are up 100% over last year -- 2.6 million in just the past six months. But thanks to Vought's cuts, we can't respond fast enough.

For every $1 CFPB spends, we return $2.80 to consumers. So of course Trump and Vought want to shut us down.

Complaints about big banks and other companies are up since Trump and Vought took over. 390,000 complaints in the last 6 months from Florida. 360,000 from Texas. Learn more in our recent blog:

Big banks should be careful what they wish for:

Vought is also dismantling the CFPB - the federal agency intended to protect consumers doing business with big banks. nteu335.org/2025/08/25/t...

Russell Vought has CANCELED $18 BILLION IN FINANCIAL RELIEF: And that’s just at CFPB. In total, Vought’s stranglehold on this country’s budget has cost Americans $425 billion in public funds that belong to us. Americans can’t afford Russell Vought in charge of our money.

Russ Vought: “The whole notion of an independent agency should be thrown out” www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

CFPB was created after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis from ever happening again. It has been successful. Destroying CFPB makes another financial crisis inevitable. Don't let Trump's Congress and toady Russell Vought destroy the CFPB.

Russell Vought is blocking $921.48 million dollars from being returned to ripped-off Americans by financially strangling the CFPB. Read more in yesterday's blog post. #StopVought #SaveCFPB

As Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Vought single-handedly refuses to fund CFPB, while wasting over $5 million on personal bodyguards and $170,000 on payments to DOGE. Read more below! #StopVought #SaveCFPB nteu335.org/2025/08/25/t...

“If we’re committed to building a successful anti-authoritarian coalition, there’s a lot we all can learn from the history of labor movements, here and abroad.”

Vought has until Sept 30 to access $329 Million in authorized CFPB funding, which would return nearly $1 Billion to ripped off Americans. All he has to do is ask the Federal Reserve for the money. So we drafted the funding request letter for him: nteu335.org/2025/08/25/v... #StopVought #SaveCFPB

CFPB regulates big banks, predatory lenders, credit agencies & other financial institutions to keep them from scamming people. So naturally, Trump's Congress has cut the Bureau's funding in half. #StopVought #SaveCFPB

Is Russell Vought just making up numbers at this point? Either way some of the rules he's talking about eliminating here protected people from Big Bank Abuse and other financial services crimes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=boOA...
