YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump is making it easier for corporations to pull one over on consumers.
David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect, joined Francesca to break down Trump’s gutting of The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or CFPB.
The CFPB has been in the crosshairs of this second Trump regime since day one. The CFPB is effectively the anti-scam agency, returning over $21 billion to consumers that was stolen by companies and banks. So naturally, Trump and his cronies want this to go away.
The agency was a part of DOGE’s initial illegal firings. A federal judge ruled that could not wholesale fire everyone from the organization, but had to maintain, “the statutory obligations of the organization.” Russell Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, decided this means they can fire almost everyone. They axed all but 200 CFPB workers, crippling the agency. Oh, did we forget to mention that Vought is one of the author’s of Project 2025? But Trump doesn’t know anything about Project 2025, so nothing to see here!
