“Everything the administration has been doing with regard to the CFPB is illegal. From trying to shut down an agency that Congress created, down to my situation where they’re now coming for CFPB employees’ paychecks and health care and benefits.”

What are CFPB workers to do when given blatantly illegal workers? And how can they effectively protect people's pocketbooks when their office is three sizes too small to fit all of them?

Americans deserve a strong watchdog protecting their pocketbook. Instead, they have Acting Director Russell Vought deleting the website, re-writing history, and demanding 900+ employees return to a new DC office that seats 400.

Today is Russell Vought’s birthday. He is a Christian Nationalist who wants to exclude people of other faiths & put civil servants like me in trauma. On his birthday, I hope he gets what he’s given and reaps what he has sown. Let’s urge Congress to impeach Vought! actionnetwork.org/forms/civil-...

Vought's doing more than just illegally dismantling the CFPB from within: he's attacking funding for cancer research, illegally hiding the ways in which he's withholding funds, destabilizing the country's scientific research infrastructure, and eliminating aid to children domestically and worldwide.

This is unacceptable. Also, enraging that the CFPB is now warning consumers AGAINST filing a complaint with them until they've tried (and failed) with the credit bureaus. Difficult to see the CFPB have become so anti-consumer.

One year ago, the Trump Administration and DOGE attempted to dismantle the CFPB in the quiet of the night, firing mass amounts of dedicated consumer protection experts and halting critical work that protects everyday people. #CFPBmyValentine

Despite the skyrocketing cost of our energy bills, groceries, and housing, the federal agency that protects people's money has been gagged from within. The Acting Director, Russell Vought, has given money back to big banks and law breakers, stopped supervising for harm, & stopped protecting consumer

Save CFPB @savecfpb.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

The messages all pointed to the same conclusion: the CFPB has shut down work from within, and CFPB workers are demanding their boss, Russ Vought, allow them to get back to work protecting consumers.

The point being here, Vought is big mad about fair lending. He's big mad about any efforts that in any way address the enduring effects of the racist legacy of this country. And- he's getting sloppier in his rage!

The declaration even concedes that from the investigation "the only new evidence was testimonial admissions by Townstone's owner that one or more of the statements could have or would possibly discourage a prospective black applicant." ONLY? That's... the crux of discouragement.

But even more out of pocket, Vought had a senior advisor file a personal declaration to support the motion, where the declarant (a *part-time* detailee from OMB) essentially called into question CFPB employees' work on the matter and cited what looks like a 1L's memo
