The #Trump Administration’s Plan for Protecting Consumers? Politely Ask Companies to Behave.
In mid-July testimony before Congress, #RussellVought boasted that, as the acting head of the #ConsumerFinancialProtectionBureau, he’d refashioned the agency’s approach to pursuing banks & other financial companies accused of exploiting Americans — the role #Congress had created for the agency after the 2008 economic crash.
#Vought had spent the first 18 months of the new Trump administration trying to dismantle the bureau, much as he and other appointees had done with the U.S. Agency for International Development. At #CFPB , he’d ordered mass layoffs, tried to choke off the bureau’s funding & ended the lease on its headquarters, attempting to make good on his vow to put civil servants “in trauma.” But federal courts blocked Vought’s efforts to close the CFPB, with a judge at one point saying the administration had acted with “complete disregard” for Congress.

“Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.”

Today on "Democrats are absolutely useless"...
"<Democrat> meets with <Trump official>, seeks assurances" is one of the dumbest things you can say or do, and yet they keep doing it.
You can get whatever "assurances" you like from anyone in the administration, but the minute Trump's swiss-cheese mind misfires a braincell or Stephen Miller's racism-boner twitches or Russell Vought sees an opportunity to executive-order women back into the kitchen, it's out the window and they'll do whatever they want to do.
If you want to make sure they don't do something, pass a goddamned law. That is literally your job. Stop pussy-footing around.
