Call your Senators and tell them to vote no on the Clarity Act crypto bill when it comes to the floor because it does not restore CFPB funding. www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

This agency is not standing in ANY meaningful way under Trump & Vought. www.pymnts.com/news/cfpb/20...

Sen. Warren forced the Senate into 20 votes to overturn the regime’s gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau—the agency that returned > $20 billion to American consumers. Russell Vought, Trump’s acting CFPB director, has rescinded 67 consumer protection policies since February 2025.

Feb 1, 2025: Trump fired Rohit Chopra as CFPB Director — first president ever to fire one (Seila Law v. CFPB 2020 struck for-cause removal). Same day: Treasury Sec. Bessent named Acting Director. Feb 7: Russell Vought (also OMB, Project 2025 architect) replaces him. Same person, two agencies.

Feb 8-10, 2025: Vought issued "stop work" email to CFPB: cease supervision/examination, halt investigations, suspend rules not yet effective, refuse next Fed funding draw. HQ closed Feb 10-14. Called the $711.6M reserve "excessive." The agency was ordered to stop, in writing.

By month 8 of Trump 2.0: CFPB dropped 42 enforcement actions: Zelle/Wells/BofA/JPMC ($870M+ Zelle fraud), Capital One, Ocwen, others. ProtectBorrowers estimates >$3B in unredressed harm. One dropped case in 14 years established the norm; 42 in 8 months established the new policy.

2017: Trump-1 used the same OMB-Director-as-Acting-CFPB-Director maneuver after Cordray resigned. Mulvaney froze rulemaking + asked Fed for $0 quarterly funding. 2025 playbook is same actor (OMB Dir) escalated from "freeze" to "dissolve." Dress rehearsal happened 8 years ago.

CFPB existed because banks captured regulators. Stop-work + dropped cases means banks captured the regulator built to stop bank capture. Wells, BofA, JPMC, Capital One — repeat CFPB defendants — got $3B+ back. The agency was funded by the targets it was supposed to police.

The CFPB and FTC seem to be burying complaints lodged against the credit bureaus. @chichiwu.bsky.social talks to Money about this disturbing trend. money.com/credit-burea...

We need the CFPB

"We are urging Democrats to do the right thing and vote no on the Clarity Act on the floor unless the final bill restores CFPB funding. CFPB Union will never give up our fight to keep the only federal consumer protection watchdog alive.” nteu335.org/2026/05/14/s...

You have the right to know your credit score. It's how you can protect your financial future. I joined Senate Dems in a Floor takeover to fight for you and speak out on against Trump’s attack on the CFPB.

BREAKING: As the Trump Administration turns its back on consumers, California is stepping up! @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom is appointing Rohit Chopra, the former director of the CFPB, to be the first secretary of California’s new Business and Consumer Services Agency — launching July 1.

Sen. Banking Cmte. plans to mark up the "Clarity Act" crypto bill tomorrow. Call these five Dems and tell them to vote no unless the bill restores CFPB funding. Warnock (GA), Alsobrooks (MD), Warner (VA), Cortez Masto (NV) & Gallego (AZ). Call (202) 224-3121 #stopvought #savecfpb

"The CFPB is the cop on the financial beat for American consumers, but the Trump Administration is hell bent on destroying the agency." That's as true now as the day Elon tweeted "CFPB RIP". #stopvought #savecfpb x.com/SenateDems/s...

Interesting development on the Senate floor this afternoon: x.com/SenWarren/st...

Let's see who thinks life will be more affordable for people when they have less protection against big corporations in the financial services marketplace #stopvought #savecfpb: apnews.com/article/sena...

In case you were the one wondering if Trump & Vought have changed their minds about getting rid of consumer protections by shutting down the CFPB…

Union members everywhere, fight back by taking care of a comrade. Helen needs $75,000 for expenses related to brain surgery. She is a devoted single mom of two kids who rely on her every day. Can she rely on you? gofund.me/2350f7f63. Adjust the “tip” to 0% and see the attached disclaimer.

Russ Vought doesn't want you to complain when big companies bilk you. He doesn't want a government agency watching your back. He just wants his friends to get your money - and fast. #stopvought #savecfpbhttps://www.usnews.com/banking/articles/should-you-even-bother-making-a-complaint-to-the-cfpb

"It appears that Experian has all but stopped providing relief, including making corrections to consumers’ credit files, in response to consumer complaints to the CFPB." #savecfpb #stopvought www.propublica.org/article/cred...

If anyone thinks Trump and Vought are planning anything but a functional shutdown for the Bureau, this should be a wakeup call. They are letting this happen. #stopvought #savecfpb www.propublica.org/article/cred...

This May Day, while Russ Vought was at the Innovative Payments Conference plotting with billionaire CEOs to shut down the CFPB, CFPB Union members were picketing outside & presenting a working people's vision for an America no longer held hostage by billionaires and their corporate handmaidens.

Happy May Day! Every worker deserves a living wage, full benefits, and a voice in the workplace! No more wage slaves! But... tonight I will make you a SLAVE TO THE BEAT! Join me at 8pm EST! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsII...

TOMORROW, May Day, 2026 @ 9:30 a.m.! Join CFPB Union NTEU 335 & Federal Unionists Network for a Working People's Picket @ The Mayflower Hotel (1127 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC). #stopvought #savecfpb

Russell Vought illegally canceled union contracts guaranteeing our disability insurance and salary increases. Now CFPB Union member Helen needs $75,000 for expenses related to brain surgery. She is a devoted single mom of two who rely on her every day. gofund.me/2350f7f63. Adjust the “tip” to 0%.

Rebranding the Department of Defense to the Department of War has already cost roughly $50 million dollars. That's coming from the same Trump administration that said it needed to cut medical research and the CFPB in the name of reining in spending.

Restructuring is a poor choice of words for this ongoing illegal campaign to shutdown the CFPB. We are still here and still fighting. You can help! Demand Congress fire Vought and restore funding: (202) 224-3121 #stopvought #savecfpb www.consumerfinancialserviceslawmonitor.com/2026/04/cfpb...

The Trump Admin is making life less affordable by driving the CFPB into the ground, leaving consumers vulnerable to scams and corporate wrongdoers. We need a government that protects everyone, not just a privileged few. www.njoag.gov/attorney-gen...

List has major omissions. Gutting of staff from places like the CFPB and FTC has made us less safe from financial and “white collar” crimes. All while DOGE stole SSNs and other personal data and our phones bring us into contact with phishing attempts and pig butchering scams all day long.

Defend the CFPB!

CFPB was closed down by an asshole, and now everyone is just charging us whatever prices they feel like. Hurry up midterms.

"They’re not reforming the CFPB, they’re killing it," @warren.senate.gov. Call your members of Congress and demand they restore CFPB funds. Lookup your members at www.house.gov & www.senate.gov or call the switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Had enough? Let's get rid of Donald's grim reaper:

"Their own actions thus demonstrate that this is not an emergency..." news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/...

Under Trump, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been all but destroyed. That means less oversight of shady financial actors — including the booming "Buy Now, Pay Later" industry. Former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra explains how consumers are paying the price.

First, he tweeted "RIP CFPB," the agency responsible for policing consumer financial products. Then he announced X Money, which is part of his plan to turn X into "the biggest financial institution in the world.”

CFPB Union members -- including our junior contingent -- preparing to bear witness to the atrocity in stasis that is Russ Vought testifying before Congress at today's Senate Budget Committee hearing. #stopvought #savecfpb

A CFPB Union member looks over Russ Vought's shoulder while he tries to justify runaway spending for Donald's foreign war of choice to the Senate Budget Committee. But we can't afford to fund the CFPB, which returns more than $2 to victims of big banks and fraudsters for every dollar spent. Right.

Russ pretending he has the faintest notion of how much Donald's foreign war of choice will cost. No ammount is too great for his Sire to spend at a whim. Protecting Americans from big banks and scammy payment apps? That's just too expensive. #stopvought #savecfpb www.politico.com/live-updates...

Russ's personal security made an appearance yesterday. Nice to see $5 million of CFPB funds in action. #stopvought #savecfpb

Vought rushed from Congress to make his 2pm at WSJ Opinion Live, "two days of thoughtful on-stage conversations examining America on its 250th anniversary." We tried to attend this "Free Expression franchise" for "diverse perspectives" but our registration was denied. 🥲 wsjlive.com/wsjopinionlive

When you think about whether Russ wants to execute the law, these numbers speak for themselves. Thanks @jayapal.house.gov! #stopvought #savecfpb

"Why are you protecting big corporations instead of consumers, Mr. Vought?" We have the same question, @jayapal.house.gov! #stopvought #savecfpb

NTEU's victory over earlier attempts to shutdown the CFPB leads a long list of Russ Vought's failures in court. TY @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social for reviewing the record in today's House Budget Committee hearing. Congress must impeach this man and restore CFPB's funding. #stopvought #savecfpb
