CFPB saves billions for American consumers. It shuts down scams and predatory fees, and is cracking down on unfair medical debt collection. But greedy special interests want more money so their corrupt friend Elon Musk is trying to shut down CFPB. Unacceptable. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | Why Elon Musk wants to ‘delete’ an agency that protects your money

The CFPB aims to protect Americans from vested financial interests big and small. That’s why oligarchs want it gone.

All who respect the rule of law and defend the Constitution should oppose the authoritarian assault by this White House under Elon Musk on federal agencies established and funded by Congress. I stand with the USAID workers, who show the best America has to offer to people all over the world. 6/6

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 8(source)

The American people will not benefit if USAID is permanently dismantled, they will lose. America will lose friends all over the world, and we will create enemies. We will lose influence with nations that will increasingly turn to adversaries, and we will lose the trust of our friends. 5/

What is happening at USAID is an unmitigated disaster for the country and the world. It is already resulting in the spread of disease, starvation, and deaths from preventable causes. Sadly we know that many of those who die if USAID is not restored will be children. 4/

Some are family members afraid for USAID workers posted abroad who were cut off from their work communication and financial systems while they were still overseas. Some are people with contracts Musk is refusing to pay, looking at large-scale layoffs of American employees. 3/

Over the past week, I have heard from hundreds of constituents affected by the assault on USAID. Some are tearful employees facing job loss for the ‘crime’ of doing important work their country asked them to do. 2/

I welcome a judicial order to halt the Musk Administration’s abuse of USAID’s workforce even temporarily. The court should uphold the law and put a full and permanent stop to the illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, and corrupt destruction of USAID. 1/

My statement on USAID:

I welcome a judicial order to halt the Musk Administration’s abuse of USAID’s workforce even temporarily. The court should uphold the law and put a full and permanent stop to the illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, and corrupt destruction of USAID.

“Over the past week, I have heard from hundreds of constituents affected by the assault on USAID. Some are tearful employees facing job loss for the ‘crime’ of doing important work their country asked them to do. Some are family members afraid for USAID workers posted abroad who were cut off from their work communication and financial systems while they were still overseas. Some are people with contracts Musk is refusing to pay, looking at large-scale layoffs of American employees.

“What is happening at USAID is an unmitigated disaster for the country and the world. It is already resulting in the spread of disease, starvation, and deaths from preventable causes. Sadly we know that many of those who die if USAID is not restored will be children.

“The American people will not benefit if USAID is permanently dismantled, they will lose. America will lose friends all over the world, and we will create enemies. America will lose influence with nations that will increasingly turn to adversaries China. And America will lose something that is important to have, and hard to regain when lost: the trust of our friends.

“Anyone who respects the rule of law and honors their oath to defend the Constitution should oppose the authoritarian assault by this White House under Elon Musk on federal agencies established and funded by Congress. As this case proceeds, I will continue to stand with the brave civil servants at USAID who show the best America has to offer to people all over the world.”

NEWS: A federal judge issued a sweeping overnight block on Musk's DOGE team from accessing Treasury's payment system, warning of possible hacks or compromises. His order limits access only to officials w security clearances/training/need-to-know. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Just incredible incompetence - again - from Elon Musk, who staffed his team with leakers and racists and gave them access to sensitive government data and every American's personal information. It's painfully obvious they did zero vetting on these people. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine. youtu.be/dHXbpj1Z3UU

This is why we have a process to vet and promote civil servants based on merit, not a friendship with some rich guy. How dare Elon Musk bully and threaten good people who spent their careers serving the American people when he brings this level of gross incompetence to his work. 2/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 6(source)

This is a scandal. Elon Musk gave a self-described "racist" and eugenicist access to a system that controls all financial payments from the U.S. Treasury. That system also contains the personal information including Social Security info of every American. 1/

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...
