“If there’s no one watching, if the risk of getting caught goes down, more companies will bend the law to make money.” Democrats created the CFPB to protect American families from predatory financial schemes. The billionaires want to go back to ripping you off. apnews.com/article/trum...
Consumer watchdog agency called ‘vicious’ by Trump seen as a ‘hero’ to many it aided
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is in the crosshairs of a White House that has halted its work, closed its headquarters and fired dozens of its workers.

Important reminder that roughly one-third of America’s federal employees are veterans. As President Trump and Elon Musk accelerate their efforts to illegally fire civil servants in every department, it’s the men and women who have served who will be most impacted.

“Civil servants are the backbone of our democracy. They keep our communities safe, our economy strong, and our government accountable” As President Trump continues to harass America’s federal workers, I’ll keep fighting to protect these patriots and uphold the law. www.kctv5.com/2025/02/14/m...

A school must spend at least $50 million on research and development and award at least 70 research doctorates in a single year to qualify as R1. Last year, UMKC spent $55 million and awarded 134 doctorates.

Trump’s plan is nothing more than a mass purge of dedicated public servants at agencies that benefit the American public and keep the nation running. This is harmful to all of us, but especially our neighbors and their families put in this position.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govFeb 14(source)
Last night I hosted a call with #AFGE, #NTEU, local unions, and federal employees to discuss Trump’s dangerous federal employee buyout plan. Federal workers keep our country running – gutting the workforce to reward political allies is unacceptable.

Let’s show America love this Valentine’s Day by making sure all our neighbors have a home 🏠 and money 💵 in their pockets. It’s time to invest in fair affordable housing 💘 and ensure Elon keeps his hands off the CFPB. #ShowHousingLOVE #LoveTheCFPB

The Trump admin's federal employee buyouts aren’t about efficiency—they’re about hollowing out agencies that serve the American people, driving out experienced public servants, & weakening government from within. We need a government that works for the people, not one gutted for political gain.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govFeb 13(source)
With the Trump admin’s sweeping assaults on racial minorities, women, neighbors living with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ Americans, I am proud to join Reps. Rashida Tlaib & Summer Lee to re-introduce the Justice For All Act.

The Trump Administration promised to lower costs for Americans – but instead, inflation is skyrocketing on their watch. From higher grocery bills to soaring healthcare costs, working families are paying the price. www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...
US consumer prices increase more than expected in January
U.S. consumer prices increased more than expected in January, reinforcing the Federal Reserve's message that it was in no rush to resume cutting interest rates amid growing uncertainty over the economy.
