Vought said he’d prioritize consumer redress at CFPB. He’s done the opposite. Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is gaslighting the country about the CFPB's priorities under his leadership.

Per an agency memo from April, the CFPB has supposedly been focused on "actual fraud against consumers." In reality, not so much... nteu335.org/2025/09/15/v...

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

The agency with "consumer protection" in its name just proposed a rule that it itself acknowledges could "impose costs on consumers and may provide some benefits to firms." Down is up. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

The CFPB used to provide homebuyers a helpful tool for exploring current interest rates in their states. But under the "leadership" of Project 2025 architect Russ Vought, the agency hasn't updated the interest rate data since April... #StopVought www.consumerfinance.gov/owning-a-hom...

The majority completely ignored the record & reality to reach its decision. As the dissent says, the majority “shield[s] [the admin's] illegality from any effective judicial oversight,” even though Trump officials “announced and celebrated their lawless decision to reporters and the broader public.”

CFPB Union Pledges to Keep Fighting for Consumer Protection and Against Illegal Shutdown of CFPB Today’s ruling is a disgrace. It empowers Donald Trump to unilaterally eliminate vital public services established by Congress.

Today’s ruling green lighting Trump's plan to dismantle the CFPB is a disgrace. But none of us can stand idly by while Trump destroys an agency created by Congress to protect working Americans from financial predators. CFPB workers aren't giving up the fight! Join us: www.change.org/StopVought

Circuit Court Allows Mass Firings at Consumer Agency Split Panel Decision Allows Hundreds of Positions to be Eliminated at Already Weakened CFPB, But May be Subject to Review by Full Court

Today’s Court Decision Allows Trump Administration to Enrich Wall Street by Ripping Off Main Street Financial Consumers | Better Markets WASHINGTON, D.C.—Dennis Kelleher, President, CEO, and Co-founder, issued the following statement in response to the DC Circuit Court’s decision allowing the Trump administration to effectively kill th...

The DC Circuit Court's decision today allows the Trump administration to effectively kill the CFPB. This is a gigantic win for Wall Street’s biggest banks and the financial industry, but Main Street Americans are going to pay the price.

Deciding the claims were not reviewable requires ignoring the district court’s findings that Vought tried to shut down the CFPB and will try again if allowed. But as the dissent notes, the majority does not--and could not--conclude that the district court's factfinding was clearly erroneous.

Dissent: “The notion that courts are powerless to prevent the President from abolishing the agencies of the federal government that he was elected to lead cannot be reconciled with either the constitutional separation of powers or our nation’s commitment to a government of laws.”

These GOP Lawmakers Referred Constituents to the CFPB for Help. Then They Voted to Gut the Agency.

Republicans in Congress are killing an agency that they themselves rely on to help their constituents with financial problems.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau dismisses $95M overdraft case vs. Navy Federal Credit Union The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, led by President Trump’s administration, has dropped a case against Navy Federal Credit Union.

More than $360 million in CFPB compensation 'at risk,' say US consumer groups Recent actions by the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have reversed or jeopardized more than $360 million in compensation paid to consumers allegedly harmed by financial companies, an analysis by consumer groups said on Tuesday.

CFPB Paying Nearly $5 Million for Vought’s Security Detail (1) The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is sending nearly $5 million to the Office of Management and Budget to pay for a security detail for Russell Vought, who currently leads both agencies.

Vought is really quite hell bent on spending the CFPB's budget on anything but consumer protection.

$5 million for a security detail, which no prior director has had, even though the CFPB's max budget was cut by nearly 50% and his other agency, OMB, just got a $100M budget increase.

Trump officials accused of defying 1 in 3 judges who ruled against him A comprehensive analysis of lawsuits against Trump policies shows dozens of examples of defiance, delay and dishonesty, a serious test for the court system.

The scale of the Trump administration's noncompliance with court proceedings is even worse than I thought.

Employees at the nation's consumer financial watchdog say it's become toothless under Trump Once a powerful watchdog for financial wrongdoing, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has seen its enforcement efforts grind to a halt under the Trump administration.

Trump & his team have made the CFPB effectively inoperable for the past 6 months. He’d rather CFPB workers get paid to do nothing or to help corporate lawbreakers off the hook than to protect everyday Americans from scammers and fraudsters. #LetUsWork #SaveCFPB

The main factual difference: potential layoffs at the CFPB are even higher (~90% v 50%) but layoff notices hadn’t actually been sent at the time of the district court’s injunction.

I’d guess the facts make little difference to SCOTUS but who’s to say when the majority refuses to explain itself.

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans.

President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

I fear the CFPB is very likely to suffer the same fate now…

The DC Circuit has been sitting on the appeal of a PI prohibiting layoffs for a few months now. Many have thought the panel was waiting for SCOTUS to show its hand. Sadly SCOTUS continues to be pro-Trump and anti-democracy.

And through it all she has tried to "protect consumers, as her doctors would try to protect her, as @nteu335.bsky.social would try to protect the CFPB, as financial regulators would try to protect the markets, as the courts and the bureaucrats would try to protect the Constitution and the country."

The CFPB has stepped back from scrutinizing Buy Now, Pay Later even as more Americans are using the short-term loans to pay for daily expenses like groceries.
