The Trump administration has stated it will retain the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFBP) in a streamlined realignment and does not plan to shut down the agency.
Politico reports on a motion filed by Acting CFPB Director Russ Vought late Monday in federal court that challenged complaints by the union representing the agency’s workforce that the White House wants to obliterate the CFPB.
“The predicate to running a ‘more streamlined and efficient bureau’ is that there will continue to be a CFPB,” Vought said in the motion.
Vought also defended his directive for the CFPB staff to cease work related to enforcements, adding, “Incoming Presidents of both parties have routinely issued directives that pause policy-related decision-making to allow the reevaluation of those policies that were under consideration or under development but not finalized by the prior administration.”
Vought further stated his directive for CFPB workers not to come to the agency’s headquarters was due to “disruptive protests involving the CFPB’s own staff” outside the building.
President Trump nominated Jonathan McKernan, a former board member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, to become the next CFPB director. McKernan will be questioned in a confirmation hearing scheduled for Thursday by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.
LOL, Politico is funded by USAID to promote propaganda for the deep state, of which cfpb is a part. Phil Hall, how the hell can you use a deep state propaganda machine as a source? It’s 2025. America knows what’s going on and is sick of being lied to by the ultra-corrupt federal government and its sycophants like Politico. C’mon man!
Such a good point. With DOGE uncovering where all this money is going, we are finding out this far left movement and censorship, etc is not organic by any means. It has all been funded by us, the taxpayers, we are unwittingly paying our taxes to funnel money to news organizations so they can propagandize to us. It’s almost unbelievable, it is like something that would happen in North Korea or something
Unbelievable! Where is the DOGE money fellas? Musk and Trump tell us all about it but they can’t show us where it is. Talk talk talk that is all they are. USAID helped millions of people yes many in other countries where children were starving but hey they weren’t white Americans so why should you care?? How about our American farmers that are growing food for USAID and now they lost that income?? What about all of the food already sent before Maniac Musk and his puppet Trump took a chainsaw to USAID? It’s rotting because it is not being delivered. Talk about waste. Your conspiracy theories and the MAGA people like you are what got us here. Use your brain Trump and his cronies are out to line their pockets not help American citizens. We the People rename yourself because you are in the minority. Look at the polls Trumps favorability is tanking and the faithful voters are turning against him. Take the blinders off, quit drinking the Kool-Aid and pray that this country makes it through the next four years of this narcisstic dictator who only cares for himself.
Deb, so much to unpack about your comment there. I respect your positions on all that you stated. Do you dispute that the previous administration was funding Politico? I guess we can start there to see if we agree on that. Regarding Musk and Trump trying to cut waste and fraud…your contention is that they want to monetarily gain from this? They are both doing their job for free As far as where the money is/is going: they put all that on X, they are currently deliberating about what to do with the money saved thus far. They had contemplated giving 20% back to tax payers as a refund for what the majority of us didn’t want it spent on. Also, to encourage people to continue to call out corruption and waste. The other option is to apply it to debt and future budget, it seems they are pretty transparent about all this. The budget and money for humanitarian things around the world that area actually needed will likely continue, but they have to parse out what is not needed, like the sex changes in Guatemala, etc will be cut out. Regarding being in the minority, the American people overwhelmingly support all that Trump is doing, approval ratings for Democratic party are at a low that hasnt been seen in many years, they are on the minority side of all the issues like: border, crime, men in women’s sports, cutting down govmt size, etc. And the race part you mentioned about white kids or whatever, the identity politics are a dying theme now, just like the mainstream media, people’s eyes glaze over when you try to convince them they are racist and terrible people these days, no one believes any of that drivel anymore, maybe back in 2020. Trying to be respectful and thoughtful in my response, no personal insults, sticking to the issues, etc
One thing everyone forgets is this:
Where is all the money going to from all the charities and not for profit orgs?
Why don’t we all google how many “ charities” are listed..
You will be shocked..
So with that, you see these NFP/charities are double.. actually triple dipping!
1. $ not completely going to the cause ( avg 1%)
2. Not paying taxes
3. Government “grants” we didn’t vote for going to these same NFP so called charities.
LOOK HERE >< NOT THERE
Wake up!
