CFPB Union Applauds Appeals Court Decision as Affordability Win for Working People The D.C. Circuit vacated a three-judge panel’s decision that could have permitted Russell Vought to dismantle the CFPB.

Russ Vought loses in court yet again! The full DC Circuit vacated a panel decision that could have permitted Vought to dismantle the CFPB. Amidst an affordability crisis, today’s ruling is a necessary and timely win for CFPB workers and the everyday Americans we serve.

This is a response from a confident, non-threatened, democratic (small"D") America-loving President.

E.P.A. Cancels Federal Union Contracts in Push to End Collective Bargaining President Trump has faced legal challenges from unions representing federal workers for his push to strip them of labor protections.

On GSAi I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.
