In just the week before Trump took power, CFPB: - ordered Equifax to pay $15M - ordered a major auto lender to return $10M to customers - ordered CashApp to refund $120M to customers - sued Capital One for cheating people out of interest payments This week it's closed.
Matt Egan@MattEganCNN

NEW: CFPB employees were just abruptly informed that the watchdog agency's DC headquarters will be closed this week. The email, obtained by @CNN, did not explain a reason for the sudden closure. This comes days after Elon Musk tweeted out: “CFPB RIP” with a tombstone emoji.

"Cutting taxes doesn’t build a single pediatric practice or open a single new child care slot. And if essential services disappear, a modest tax cut cannot replace them." great piece from @KristenCrowell1

COMMENTARY: The Affordability Crisis Can’t Be Solved With Another Tax Cut Democrats don’t need to trade away revenue required for meaningful policy. They need to tax the rich. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

The thing is, changing agencies doesn’t change the facts. People can’t pay their loans because Donald Trump is bleeding families dry with high prices. Until the Administration takes that seriously, student loan borrowers will continue to struggle.

ED has been bumbling its way through student loan policy all year, and they’re clearly feeling pressure on it — McMahon actually paused wage garnishment on defaulted loans earlier this year

The common wisdom is that this is part of a strategy to dismantle the Department of Education, but I think there’s a very good case that this is happening because Linda McMahon screwed up so badly that they had to take the loans away

Trump promised to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. He's failed to deliver. A report from @BorrowerJustice & @TCFdotorg shows the damage: a record number of Americans trapped in credit card debt as banks rake in record profits.

More than a hundred million Americans can't pay off their credit card balances, the war with Iran is jacking up families' monthly bills, and the head of the National Economic Council is saying consumers are "the last of our concerns right now."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

David's polling here is incredible and deserves way more attention. A majority of all voters, including 50% of Trump voters, are now in favor of publicly-funded job creation and healthcare to protect workers against AI-related job loss.
David Shor@davidshor

Even among Trump voters, helping workers who lose jobs to AI beats giving tech companies incentives to keep innovating 50% to 24%. Overall it's 58-20.

This is a great video on Trump's giveaways to the credit card industry. @TCFdotorg's report out today with @BorrowerJustice shows that Trump's failed promise on capping interest rates is costing cardholders $368 million every day! tcf.org/content/report…
Robert Reich@RBReich

Trump promised a cap on credit card rates. Instead, he delivered a giveaway to credit card companies at your expense. Former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra (@ChopraUSA) explains.

This new report from @TCFdotorg and @BorrowerJustice isn't only about cost of living in America. It's about an economy where our leaders think they only the top 10% need to thrive in order to keep the economy strong. Everyone else becomes fodder for big bank profit margins
The Century Foundation@TCFdotorg

NEW 📺: This morning, we released a new report with @BorrowerJustice on the shocking amount of credit card debt American families have incurred just trying to make ends meet and the way interest rates are lining the pockets of credit card bankers. More from @GMA 🔽

Over the past few days, we’ve seen a number of tax proposals in the Senate to try to address the affordability crisis Americans are facing by cutting federal income taxes. These conversations are important to have but I worry we’re looking for answers in the wrong places 🧵

Earlier this week, Bernie Sanders introduced a bill that would impose a 5% wealth tax on billionaires. Within hours, the Washington Post released a scathing editorial. My piece today addresses the Post's weak arguments and makes the case for a federal wealth tax. 1/

"Even for billionaires, a 5 percent tax on every asset they own would virtually wipe out any gains they make in a normal year," the Editorial Board writes. wapo.st/402OPLx

Oof. Lots to say about this proposal, but as a starting point, I think it's reallllllly risky for Dems to wade into "who can do the most tax cuts" territory
