Per an agency memo from April, the CFPB has supposedly been focused on "actual fraud against consumers." In reality, not so much... nteu335.org/2025/09/15/v...

Project 2025 architect Russell Vought said he’d prioritize consumer redress at the CFPB. In truth, he’s done the exact opposite.

The agency with "consumer protection" in its name just proposed a rule that it itself acknowledges could "impose costs on consumers and may provide some benefits to firms." Down is up. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

The CFPB used to provide homebuyers a helpful tool for exploring current interest rates in their states. But under the "leadership" of Project 2025 architect Russ Vought, the agency hasn't updated the interest rate data since April... #StopVought www.consumerfinance.gov/owning-a-hom...

The majority completely ignored the record & reality to reach its decision. As the dissent says, the majority “shield[s] [the admin's] illegality from any effective judicial oversight,” even though Trump officials “announced and celebrated their lawless decision to reporters and the broader public.”

Today’s ruling green lighting Trump's plan to dismantle the CFPB is a disgrace. But none of us can stand idly by while Trump destroys an agency created by Congress to protect working Americans from financial predators. CFPB workers aren't giving up the fight! Join us: www.change.org/StopVought

“Today’s decision is a deeply disturbing development in the ongoing campaign to shutter the CFPB...People need the CFPB to prevent financial companies from running roughshod over families, Veterans, and older adults.” #ProtectConsumers www.nclc.org/circuit-cour...

The DC Circuit Court's decision today allows the Trump administration to effectively kill the CFPB. This is a gigantic win for Wall Street’s biggest banks and the financial industry, but Main Street Americans are going to pay the price.

Deciding the claims were not reviewable requires ignoring the district court’s findings that Vought tried to shut down the CFPB and will try again if allowed. But as the dissent notes, the majority does not--and could not--conclude that the district court's factfinding was clearly erroneous.

Dissent: “The notion that courts are powerless to prevent the President from abolishing the agencies of the federal government that he was elected to lead cannot be reconciled with either the constitutional separation of powers or our nation’s commitment to a government of laws.”

Jeez... If your student's suicide doesn't persuade you, what will? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We got rid of Elon Musk. Now it's time to get rid of Russell Vought, author of Project 2025 and Musk's successor at DOGE. Stand up to Trump and Vought. Sign the petition now: www.change.org/StopVought #StopVought

Republicans in Congress are killing an agency that they themselves rely on to help their constituents with financial problems.

“Vought should spend less time scheming how to stiff working people and bankrupt the CFPB with million-dollar security details and more time protecting everyday Americans from corporate fraudsters and scammers as Congress intended.” — @nteu335.bsky.social

Chaser: Trump's CFPB told Navy Federal Credit Union it no longer has to refund $80M to service members for illegal overdraft fees.

Shot: In April, Trump's CFPB said it would focus on getting money back directly to consumers. www.consumerfinancialserviceslawmonitor.com/2025/04/cfpb...

Chaser: Trump's CFPB has reversed or jeopardized more than $360 million in compensation paid to consumers.

Vought is really quite hell bent on spending the CFPB's budget on anything but consumer protection.

$5 million for a security detail, which no prior director has had, even though the CFPB's max budget was cut by nearly 50% and his other agency, OMB, just got a $100M budget increase.

The scale of the Trump administration's noncompliance with court proceedings is even worse than I thought.

Trump & his team have made the CFPB effectively inoperable for the past 6 months. He’d rather CFPB workers get paid to do nothing or to help corporate lawbreakers off the hook than to protect everyday Americans from scammers and fraudsters. #LetUsWork #SaveCFPB

The main factual difference: potential layoffs at the CFPB are even higher (~90% v 50%) but layoff notices hadn’t actually been sent at the time of the district court’s injunction.

I’d guess the facts make little difference to SCOTUS but who’s to say when the majority refuses to explain itself.

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans.

President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

I fear the CFPB is very likely to suffer the same fate now…

The DC Circuit has been sitting on the appeal of a PI prohibiting layoffs for a few months now. Many have thought the panel was waiting for SCOTUS to show its hand. Sadly SCOTUS continues to be pro-Trump and anti-democracy.
