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.

After buzzy fintech startup Bilt left customers with frozen accounts and unpaid rents, Russell Vought told Congress that Bilt was “able to fix their issues” before the CFPB needed to investigate.
Weeks later, a second debacle hit customers.

'Collins took particular issue with the provision that would allow political appointees to review grant proposals, noting that it would undermine the goal of awarding funds “based on scientific merit and value, rather than political ideology.'

"Proposed White House regulations could kill 5,000 clinical trials, analysis finds
The Trump administration is mulling new rules that would give political appointees final say on research grants
Nearly 5,000 clinical trials, including more than 1,000 cancer treatment tests, face termination under proposed federal regulations, a new analysis by the science advocacy group Stand Up for Science finds. The potential cuts would also affect hundreds of pediatric, veteran health and heart disease trials, according to the report.
The trials are at risk because of rules proposed by the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in May that would give political appointees the final word on federal research grants across agencies—a departure from decades of relying on scientific peer review to judge grants’ merits. The proposed rules are aimed to combat 'a ‘woke’ policy agenda' and to curb international collaboration, according to a statement published in the Federal Register. The OMB is headed by Russell Vought, the lead architect of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 plan for the Trump administration.
Clinical trials are the final stages for testing new medical treatments and interventions, and they can involve dozens to thousands of volunteer patients, depending on the trial’s aims. A 2025 JAMA Internal Medicine analysis of 383 clinical trials associated with grants that were terminated by the Trump administration found that as many as 74,000 participants were affected by the cuts.
Applying the proposed rules to some 10,000 clinical trials currently being funded by the National Institutes of Health, Stand Up for Science found that nearly half would face termination. Many of these are international in nature or could trip a list of more than 350 'banned words' —phrases that PEN America, a free speech group, reports that federal agencies have either sought to prohibit or limit, according to the new analysis. Words on the list include 'abortion,' 'solar power' and 'vaccines.'
'People’s lives are on the line. These are clinical trials of new drugs and interventions that could change people’s lives,' said Stand Up for Science founder Colette Delawalla in a statement.
In response to the new report, a Trump administration spokesperson told Scientific American, 'The Trump Administration will ensure funding goes toward real science instead of promoting a far-left DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] agenda with things like drag shows in Ecuador and transgender experiments on mice. This rule will bring much-needed transparency to the grantmaking process and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.' (The reference to 'transgender' mice derives from a 2025 address to Congress in which Trump impugned studies of hormone effects on chronic wounds and in gender-affirming care.)"

The Trump regime takes a wrecking ball to scientific research in the USA.
If you are a student or researcher who's been thinking of coming to the USA, now might be the time to look elsewhere.

But does he really have friends? I see a few manipulators (#RussellVought, #StephenMiller), a few opportunists (#ElonMusk), a large number of lickspittle (eg #GOPCongress), and hords of #Cult followers (many of whom have their own agenda and will turn on him in heartbeat if he goes against them).
But friends?Trump has created a slush fund of taxpayer money to give to his friends
