CFPB Union

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! x.com/agpambondi/s...

By dropping dozens of cases and settlements, Trump's CFPB has let corporate lawbreakers off the hook for some $3 billion in harm to consumers that may never be redressed.

Russ Vought: “The whole notion of an independent agency should be thrown out” www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

"In the big picture, the move is part of a trend of the administration taking a friendlier approach with businesses — even at the federal agency tasked with guarding consumers from unfair and deceptive practices."

"As the CFPB turns away from its watchdog role, it’s making it harder for all of us to watch as well."

We all knew that Trump's efforts to destroy the CFPB and other vital public services was never about cutting waste and saving taxpayer money.

In the past, the CFPB's goal would've been identifying the root cause and preventing future harm to consumers. Instead Vought just provided air cover to Bilt without directing real fixes or systematic changes.

The CFPB used to be a watchdog. But under Trump and Vought, it's more like the financial industry's golden retriever.

Shocking nobody: "an ask-nicely strategy to consumer protection isn’t likely to protect consumers." www.propublica.org/article/bilt...

We won't be intimidated by this administration ✊️ #SolidarityForever

Trump and Mark Paoletta's CFPB just put one of our most active and visible members on administrative leave for undisclosed reasons. He recently spoke out about the CFPB's illegal and chaotic office relocation. Coincidence? nteu335.org/2026/08/11/c...

Sadly this is not the first time nor likely the last that the Trump administration has targeted a union leader. But we won't let them push us around. phttps://nteu335.org/2026/08/11/cfpb-workers-denounce-mark-paolettas-sham-investigation-of-cfpb-union-leader/

BREAKING: Trump and Mark Paoletta’s CFPB has launched a sham investigation into one of our union leaders. If they thought this would silence and intimidate us, they badly miscalculated. #SolidarityForever
