Congress won't impeach Vought.
Russ Vought has once again escalated his illegal CFPB shutdown by ordering CFPB cases to be transferred to the DOJ. It’s time for Congress to impeach and remove Russell Vought from power. nteu335.org/2025/11/20/c...

Congress won't impeach Vought.
I wonder if he's violating the spirit of the law if he nominates someone just to extend Vought's tenure

The nomination of Stuart Levenbach was a "technical" maneuver intended to extend White House budget director Russ Vought's oversight of the agency.

Fucker is Hispanic too.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

States will step in but that will result in a messy environment.
The CFPB is responsible for addressing AI’s role in credit discrimination, and this proposed rule disregards that responsibility. The agency should instead direct its efforts to ensuring creditors implement fairness testing to help them prevent discrimination when adopting AI.

Disparate impact is particularly important as AI is increasingly used in making fundamental decisions. Bias in AI’s training and design degrades its performance for certain protected groups, even without overt discriminatory intent. Disparate impact recognizes this.

It is crazy how Vought is basically winding down the CFPB by letting the money run out. Employees will be furloughed and won't be eligible for severance. Disgusting!

Wow!
The CFPB was created. The Trump administration is seeking to eliminate it, despite the fact that Congress has passed no law enabling it to do so.

Judges Katsas and Rao are really on a rampage in the DC Circuit right now nixing lower court injunctions blocking impoundment and dismantling of agencies, all on justiciability, but the en banc court better listen to Judge Pillard, who has common sense on her side.

The DC Cir majority lifts the ban on firing CFPB staff bc there was “no…statement, written or oral, purporting to shut down the CFPB” & noting the gov’t “does not claim the power to ‘shut down’ the CFPB.”
But then AG Bondi tweets out: actually, that’s been the plan all along!
