This is how the Trump administration's been operating since day 1 when unqualified DOGE bros bursting with conflicts of interest invaded govt agencies without credentials, just permission slips saying "I can do what I want."
We can't afford to wait until midterms to act. Miller & Vought out NOW.
When @reed.senate.gov questioned Vought about this, he complained that the courts wouldn't let him fire the veterans working in the CFPB Office of Servicemember Affairs. He's as shameless as Trump & just as unfit to serve, minus the cult following. He's got to go

The #GOPShutdown is Vought's latest attack on our public services.
Vought bragged heβs "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 Americansβ credit reports.
