In Washington, D.C., hundreds of protesters rallied outside the offices of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Monday after the Trump administration moved to shut down the agency’s headquarters and cut off its funding. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is credited with creating the CFPB, slammed Elon Musk’s DOGE operation and the Office of Management and Budget’s director Russell Vought, saying their attempt to shutter the CFPB is “the payoff to the rich guys.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren: “This fight is about more than just our financial rules and regulations. This fight is about more than just Democrat-versus-Republican politics. This fight is about hard-working people versus the billionaires who want to squeeze more and more and more money out of them.”
