“Elon Musk and Russ Vought aren’t just testing the limits of the law—they’re shattering them, daring anyone to stop them. This attack on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is illegal, unconstitutional, and a blatant power grab by billionaires who want to rig the system even further in their favor."
On Monday, February 10, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representative Maxine Waters, and others will gather for a rally at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Elon Musk and Donald Trump are stealing from consumers, attempting to kill this essential agency that protects Americans from fraud and exploitation at the hands of banks and corporations.
Russell Vought isn’t just another Trump crony—he’s the architect of Project 2025 and the unconstitutional OMB memo that lays the groundwork for gutting our government. His confirmation is a flashing red siren for every working family in America.
"Susan Crawford has spent her career in the trenches for Wisconsin—fighting for workers, defending reproductive freedom, and holding the line against the right-wing extremists hell-bent on dismantling our democracy. She has the experience, backbone, and common sense that Wisconsinites need on their Supreme Court."
Trump blinked because people all over the country raised their voices, and Democrats fought back. It's proof that when we organize and expose the depravity of his agenda, we win. But this fight isn’t over. After retreating on the OMB power grab memo, the White House is already insisting they will continue with chaos, cruelty, and unconstitutionality underlying that memo. They scrapped the memo and kept the coup.
Donald Trump isn’t governing—he’s launching a coup against the American people. In an illegal and devastating move, he has frozen billions in federal funding for programs that keep kids fed, families housed, and students educated. This isn’t just a policy memo—it’s a direct assault on the Constitution and the lives of millions of Americans. Let’s be clear: Trump’s latest move is illegal, dictatorial, and Americans will die as a result.
"Trump’s latest power grab isn’t just unconstitutional—it’s cruel, chaotic, and catastrophic for millions of families. This is the most radical presidential action I've ever seen. By freezing billions in federal funds, Trump is ripping apart the very foundation of our democracy: check and balances, and Congress’s power of the purse."
“This was a really badly bungled first big piece of legislation for the Trump era. They need to change course. Democrats need to get back on track, otherwise the GOP will continue to bulldoze them -- and people will get hurt. ” said Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible.
