"Losing your job, getting cancer, and moving back in with your parentsβ€”it was a heck of a punch line, she told me, as well as a gut punch."

"When I visited Anne in Virginia in late April, she told me she worried about scammers stealing grandparents’ retirement savings, thieves hacking people’s bank accounts, sports-betting apps bleeding young men dry, and β€œbuy now, pay later” companies targeting poor consumers. I worried about her."

"The CFPB has capped the late fees charged to 45 million credit-card holders, scrubbed medical debt from 15 million credit reports, managed as many as 50,000 complaints a week, returned $19.7 billion to consumers, and fined firms and individuals $5 billion."

"Others had it worse than she did, she said. 'A lot of people get fired when they get sick. A lot of people get fired because they are sick.'

"Romatowski specialized in artificial intelligence. She studied how criminals used deepfaked voices to rip off the elderly and how biased banking algorithms charged Black families more for mortgages than white families."

A Real Cancer in Washington The quiet heroism of my friend in government

Anne Romatowski joined the CFPB to help prevent another 2008 financial crisis. Russell Vought fired her the same day she learned she likely had cancer, casting her access to lifesaving healthcare -- and her work for consumers -- in doubt.

No, thirsty Russ Vought is not the shadow President. He's just a frustrated clown. He can't get his colleagues to do what he wants and he's hiding behind an unprecedented $5 million worth of personal security. Paid for by CFPB funds. #stopvought #savecfpb www.rawstory.com/voughts-layo...

The GOP expected Democrats to relent on the shutdown by now. That isn't happening. Democrats have only hardened their position as the government shutdown enters its 24th day, leaving Republican majorities in Congress with few answers β€” and many criticisms.

Tell your Senators to vote no on any budget that fails to protect critical programs -- like those at the CFPB! Instead, they should restore our funding and fire Donald's Grim Creeper, Russ Vought!

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

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.

As Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Vought tore up a settlement to return $80 million to servicemembers and their families who were ripped off by illegal overdraft fees.

The #GOPShutdown is Vought's latest attack on our public services.

Vought bragged he’s "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 Americans’ credit reports.

Donald is tearing down The People's House to make more room for rich people, just like his thirsty Grim Creeper Russy Vought is tearing down consumer protection so big banks, crypto kings and fraudsters can take more money from you. #stopvought #savecfpb

@warren.senate.gov We can certainly vouch for the fact that this government is not functioning for the people. NTEU 335 is fighting for the ability to protect people in the financial services marketplace and we will keep fighting.

We talk to people every day who think the fight to save CFPB was lost already. Articles like this are why. It has a direct impact on the outcome, because people only fight when they know there's still a fight to be won.

This you? "The final blow came when Vought announced a plan to lay off more than 80 per cent of the C.F.P.B.’s employees. A federal appeals court ruled in August that the mass-firing plan could proceed."
