The CFPB is mandated “to stand up for consumers and make sure they are treated fairly in the financial marketplace,” the agency’s website states. “One way we do this is by enforcing federal consumer financial laws and holding financial service providers accountable for their actions.”
During a demonstration live-streamed on the House Financial Services Committee’s YouTube channel, participants pressed Elon Musk, the individual Trump appointed to lead the federal job paring Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to address the angry demonstrators.
Musk had stated that it was past time to kill the agency, which employs 1,677 people: “CFPB RIP” he tweeted on Feb. 7.
Russell Vought, the administration’s interim director of the CFPB, froze funding for the agency, ordered staff to stop working on ongoing cases, and stay out of the agency’s offices while DOGE agents review the agency’s computer file systems.
“Elon Musk, where are you?” House Committee on Financial Services, Ranking Member Maxine Waters called out at the rally: “Bring your ass over here so you can see who’s here and what we’re doing. We’re not afraid of you. We know that you are the co-president now of the United States of America. But ladies and gentlemen, I want you to follow very closely what he’s doing and how he has done it.”
“Families are struggling,” added Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. “The rent is too damn high. The cost of groceries is too damn high. The big banks and giant corporations are all too eager to nickel and dime hard-working people, and you know what has been a saving grace for families trying to hold onto a buck? This small but mighty government agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
“Now look, those of you watching you may have never heard of them. You know, isn’t it just the truth that you don’t know how much you benefit from your government or your democracy until someone comes through with a wrecking ball and creates a constitutional crisis with an unprecedented power grab? You’ve never heard of them, but trust me, they’ve been working hard for you, the people, for over a decade.”
Senator Elizabeth Warren conceived the idea for the CFPB in 2007 during her tenure as a Harvard Law School professor. President Barack Obama officially established the CFPB as an agency by signing the legislation in 2010. At the rally, Senator Warren noted that the CFPB has been aptly described as “the cop on the beat” due to its success in reducing financial frauds and recovering $21 billion for consumers. Senator Warren remarked, “Donald Trump and Elon Musk have instructed the financial regulators at the CFPB to be less vigilant. Consider this carefully – regardless of the magnitude of the scam or the audacity of the scheme, they have opted to allow Wall Street entities to take advantage of consumers financially.”
“Well, we are here to fight back! We want our financial cops back on the beat! This is a fight – and I want you to watch who this fight is between – this is a fight between millions of hardworking people, who just don’t want to get cheated, and a handful of billionaires like Elon Musk who want the chance to cheat them.”
Progressive pro-democracy groups like Indivisible, The Progressive Change Institute, MoveOn, and Americans for Financial Reform organized the rally. They asked the Congressional Democrats who took part in the event to withhold their votes to fund the government until this constitutional crisis is over.
THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU IS A NECESSARY WATCH AGENCY. WITH FEDERAL POWERFUL, REGULATORY FUNCTIONS, SORELY NEEDED BY WE CONSUMERS!
THE LARGER REASONING TO KEEP THIS AGENCY IS ITS ABILITY TO MAKE CHECKS AGAINST CONSUMER FRAUD. NO MATTER THE ENTITIES PROWESSES. THEREFORE, KEEPING THIS CONSTITUTIONAL CONSUMER PROTECTION PARADIGM IS WISE, NOT WASTEFUL.
IT SHOULD BE NON POLITICAL. BUT ALSO BIPARTISAN AS POSSIBLE.
“YOU SEE?”
NOTHING WE HUMAN BEINGS MAKE IS PERFECT! NOT WHAT OTHERS LIKE ELON MUSK WANTS TO CHANGE IT TO, OR NOT CHANGE IT TO.
NEITHER IN ITS INCEPTION WHAT ELIZABETH WARREN’S HELPING MADE OF THE CFPB FOR IT TO BECOME, PERFECT, BUT IT WORKS!
IN THEORY IT IS A LEGAL MECHANISM AGAINST ALL SORTS OF CONSUMER FRAUD! THAT CANNOT BE WASTEFUL, MAYBE ELON MUSK’S TESLA CARS ARE WASTEFUL, EVER THOUGH ABOUT THAT!??
SO WHEN EVEN THE CFPB IS EXPANDED NOT DISMANTLED.
TO HELP KEEPING FAIR JUSTICE, FOR AGAINST COMPLEX INJUSTICE DONE BY THE FEW! IT SOUNDS MORE POLITICS THAN NOT TO CUT BUDGET FROM PROSECUTORS OF CFPB. IF NOT THEN WHAT!?
ESPECIALLY, WHEN DONE AGAINST FEDERAL PROSECUTORS!
WHOM AT TIMES THE CFPB SHOULD INTERVENE FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSUMERS. NOT ONLY CLASS ACTIONS THE MISSION AS IT IS NOW DOES. WILL MAKE MORE EFFICIENT FOR THE MASSES AS WELL INDIVIDUALS LEFT AT NO MERCY FROM BIG BUSINESSES DEBAUCHEROUS NATURE AT TIMES.
SO UNLESS CFPB PROSECUTORS ARE PLAYING POLITICS. WHICH ARE HAVE THEM AT THE CFPB. PAYING OFF JUDGES: LIKE SOME POLICE OFFICERS: MAYOR’S, SENATORS, CONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN HAVE BEEN CAUGHT. LIKE SENATOR MENDEZ, NEW JERSEY, SHELDON SILVER, DECEASED FROM NEW YORK. DEAN SKELOS AND SON, FOUND GUILTY BY PREET BHARARA. IN NEW YORK YEARS AGO WERE FOUND GUILTY AS SIN FROM BOTH PARTIES THEY WERE ALL FROM.
TIODAY A MAYOR LIKE ERIC ADAMS IS NOW PAID, MANY TODAY ALLEGE! AFTER THE TRUMP DOJ DISMISSED HIS CHARGES. OF HIS CRIMINALIZATION OF HIS OFFICE.
WITH HIM ALLEGEDLY DESTROYING EVIDENCE. EVEN BEING A CHINESE AGENT. HELPING CHINA, BY HIRING WINNIE GRECO. WHOM FLIPPED ON ADAMS FOR GETTING HIM STRAW DONORS – LIKE OTHERS WERE DOING LIKE RANA ABBASOVA, CLAIMED ALLEGEDLY HAPPENED. AND WAS FLIPPING TO FEDS AGAINST ADAMS AND FOR HIS TURKISH CRIMES!
WE BELIEVE THE CFPB IS THE NEXT BEST THING TO AN UNBIASED JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. YET WHEN A NEW CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT COMES IN. IF DISMANTLED THE CFPB, WILL RISE AGAIN!
TODAY SEEING THE DOJ, MISUSED AS WE NOW SEE IT.
THERE SHOULD BE , ESPECIALLY AFTER JESSICA SASSOONS RESIGNATION FROM DOJ. FOR HER DEFYING TRUMP TO BRING CHARGES AGAINST ERIC ADAMS.
SHE WITH OTHER FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ALONG HER FROM THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. ONCE HEADED BY DAMIEN WILLIAMS. WHOM SHOULD RUN FOR MAYOR OR GOVERNOR, HIMSELF. MS. SASSOON DID THE RIGHT MOVE!
SO, WE NEED DAMIEN WILLIAMS NOW, DAMN HOW IT LOOKS. MR. WILLIAMS IS NEEDED NOW, NOT LATER!
THAT SAID, A MISUSED CFPB IN A NON POLITICAL MANNER. SHOULD HAVE AMICUS BRIEFS TO JUDGE HO. IN THE ADAMS CASE FROM PROSECUTORS. UNDER RULE 48 OF THE FEDERAL CRIMINAL CODE. THAT SHOWS ITS: STAUTORY OF THE PUBLIC INTEREST. NOT TO DISMISS THE ERIC ADAMS CASE! FOR ” REASONS OF PUBLIC INTEREST” THE CRIMINAL CODE – DEMANDS!
YET DUE TO INTERVENTION OF AN APPEARANCE BY TRUMP AND DOJ. MAY BE PROVABLE WRONG DOING! THAT ARE WRONGDOINGS MORE THAN OF AN APPEARANCE. INSTEAD WRONGDOINGS PROVED WITH WITNESSES THE FEDS FLIPPED.
SHOWS CRIMINALITY EXISTS, AGAINST ADAMS. THE PRESIDENT AND DOJ, SPECIFICALLY FEDERAL JUDGE HO, MUST NOT THROW OUT! INSPITE OF TRUMP’S FURY AT NEW YORK JUDICIARY, AND ITS VOTERS!
THIS ADAM’S CASE WHICH IN NYC IS NOW DISMISSED, WITH FORCES BEHIND A CORRUPTED DOJ BY A WHITE HOUSE POWER DRUNK WITH VINDICTIVENESS.
ALSO ANIMUS FOR WHOM TRUMP CALLS ” POCAHONTAS, ELIZABETH WARREN. THE DISMISSAL OUGHT NOT STAND FOR INTEREST OF ” WE THE PEOPLE!”
FOR THE RECORD. THERE SHOULD BE FLYING FROM EVERY MAJOR SCHOLAR OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW AMICUS BRIEFS!
TO JUDGE HO, LATER IF FAILED, THEN TO THE APPEALS COURT, IF FAILED AT THE APPEALS COURT. THEN ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT: PRO BONO! BY THE MANY SCHOLARS AT LAW SCHOOLS ALSO LAW FIRMS! ! !
IF THEY ALL CARE ABOUT A LEGAL INSTITUTION, AND CONSTITUTION, SHOW IT!
LIKE FOR THE CFBP, BUT AS WELL AGAINST POLITICIZATION OF HOW THE ERIC ADAMS CASE WAS DISMISSED WITHOUT PREDJUDICE!
DONE SO HARMFUL THAT KEEPS ERIC ADAMS LOOKING COMPROMISED. FURTHERMORE, THIS SO CALLED MAYOR LOOKS LIKE A MODERN DAY ENSLAVED PERSON!
TO A SO CALLED PRESIDENT WHO WITH HIS SUSPECT PETE HEGSETH SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FROM FOX NEWS.
HAD NERVE TO CHANGE FORT LIBERTY, BACK TO FORT BRAGG! RACIST AS IT GETS!
THE CONFEDERATCY THE ORIGINAL BUNCH OF NAZIS! WHOM ROAMED THE EARTH! ENSLAVING OUR AFRICAN ANCESTORS! GETS A FORT RENAMED FOR THEIR BARBARISM DONE CENTURIES AGO, IS CONTEMPTIBLE- CORRUPTION! ALL AFRICAN DESCENT PEOPLE OUGHT TO RESIGN!
ERIC ADAMS IS A TRAITOR TO HIS RACE! HOW HE OR ANYONE CLAIMS TO BE REPUBLICAN AFTER TRUMP’S PLAYING AFRICAN DESCENT RAPPERS! TO POLITICIANS LIKE BUFFOONS, AFTER THE 2020 RACE. AND DIDN’T LEARN LIKE WE HAVE AT GLOBAL NEWSUP.
TRUMP AND HIS MAGA CROWD HE, CALLS A MOVEMENT. WILL NOT EVER BE FOR OUR REPARATIONS.
DEMANDS RESIGNATIONS ALSO RETURN OF SANITY BY AFRICAN DESCENT PEOPLE IN BOTH PARTIES, ALSO INDEPENDENT S, COME HELL OR HIGH WATER! RATHER THAN BEING INSANE FOLLOWING OF ANYONE WHOM DOES NOT HAVE OUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART! IS STUPIDITY ALSO A MODERN DAY FORM OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ENSLAVEMENT!
