@allenanalysis Yup - Russell Vought has been doing this at #CFPB since the start. Including his most recent DOJ filing which pretends he had ‘t told the Charlie Kirk podcast two days earlier he wanted to shut it down in 2-3 most. The filing said the opposite!

Glad to hear they are “sober” 🍻🎉

News: OMB’s Russ Vought met with Republicans on the House Financial Services Committee this AM, I’m told. Lawmakers say they discussed the CFPB — including how it’s “not likely” to “go away” in “the current environment.”

“Everyone’s sober about what the path forward is for now.”

In today's @nytimes, former CFPB enforcement chief Eric Halperin issues a sharp warning:

If enforcement actions taken against corporate criminals "can be wiped away behind closed doors, then those agreements will soon have no meaning at all."

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

@ABC your story on ABC GO about the CFPB hearing yesterday was good but should say "RIF" not "brief" here: [Would you say that trying to implement a brief without notice before the new director is even put in place, is typical?” the judge continued. “No,” Martinez again replied.]

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Trump sows chaos in federal workforce then says “resign within a week and I’ll give you 7 months severance.” Don’t fall for it! Trump told innumerable contractors he’d pay—then stiffed them. He has no authority to promise severance pay. Wait him out!

Masses of people are marching against Trump outside in DC today while Trump is moving his inauguration indoors because of the cold weather.

Quite the contrast.

Harris now leading Trump in Wisconsin with 44% of total vote in. In Milwaukee county, Biden beat Trump by 180,000 votes. At the moment, Milwaukee county is only 47% in. Harris is up 80,000 there and will add close to another 100,000 in spread. Wisconsin blue wall holding.

The biggest story of the night is Russia calling multiple bomb threats into Democratic strongholds across the country. This should shock every American to the core.
