20 State AGs have sued Russell Vought for trying to starve the CFPB of funding.
Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20B to consumers.

Worth remembering that National Guard are people with regular jobs and families who are increasingly being asked to leave those behind to serve Trump's control of Democratic cities
West Virginia Governor says he’s deploying WV National Guard to Washington DC
He says they’ll be “providing mission-essential equipment, specialized training, and approximately 300-400 skilled personnel as directed. The mission will be funded at the federal level.”
