NBC News · Russell Vought takes over as CFPB's acting headBy Katherine Doyle

@mcourcel And by ridiculous you mean horrifying

@GottaLaff They are taking a wrecking ball to the government. This is a bloodless coup thus far. I wonder how long it will stay that way?

@GottaLaff In Trump and Musk's America, consumers don't need protecting; they are just there to be exploited.

@Jgmeadows Consumers for only their goods

@GottaLaff next up will be eliminating the FDIC, and the crypto bros will be sig heiling as people rush to the bank.

@jodmentum They’ll eliminate everything they can.

@jodmentum @GottaLaff I thought they already shut down FDIC…

@GottaLaff Why waste any money defending consumers when the whole point of your administration is to fleece the life out of them?

@GottaLaff the CFPB helped regular people when faced with unfair business practices. This is on brand for the current administration, to hurt regular people.
