Trump Targets Government Accountability, and CFPB Funding Cuts

 Doug Collins, new­ly appoint­ed Sec­re­tary of VA, has made waves by can­celling a $178K con­tract with Politi­co and is now tak­ing charge of the Office of Spe­cial Coun­sel and the Office of Gov­ern­ment Ethics. Mean­while, Trump con­tin­ues to chal­lenge the sta­tus quo. Tul­si Gab­bard is expect­ed to be con­firmed lat­er this week, while dis­cus­sions about the Con­sumer Finan­cial Pro­tec­tion Bureau (CFPB) and Fed­er­al Reserve raise ques­tions about gov­ern­ment trans­paren­cy and account­abil­i­ty. Despite cuts to the CFPB’s bud­get, which have gone under-report­ed, why the media isn’t more con­cerned about these sig­nif­i­cant changes. Addi­tion­al­ly, dis­cus­sions sur­round­ing the Fed­er­al Reserve’s inde­pen­dence and poten­tial audits are gain­ing trac­tion.

• Doug Collins is fresh on the job as Sec­re­tary of VA. He found a $178K con­tract with Politi­co yes­ter­day and can­celled it. Now he is tak­ing over the Office of Spe­cial Coun­sel and  Office of Gov­ern­ment Ethics. Trump does not play around. The US Office of Spe­cial Coun­sel lead­er­ship Hamp­ton Dellinger is suing due to ille­gal fir­ing. 
• Tuck­er says that he knows for a fact that Ukraine is sell­ing the weapons to the car­tels on the bor­der. Guess who else he is telling this to… Trump. 
• Tul­si Gab­bard will get con­firmed lat­er this week. 
• REmem­ber when we dreamed of audit­ing the Fed­er­al REserve. 
• It is very qui­et out there. The Sen­ate used 30 hours of debate before the con­fir­ma­tion of Russ Vought for OMB. Yes­ter­day he stopped the fund­ing for the Con­sumer Finan­cial Pro­tec­tion Act (CFPB). Why is the deep state media not going after this like they did USAID? Remem­ber a cou­ple of weeks ago we were look­ing at Jerome Pow­ell to low­er the inter­est rate. Remem­ber Trump said that the Fed would lis­ten to him. They didn’t low­er inter­est rates. So why isn’t the media enraged because of the $711.6M cut to the CFPB? Employ­ees are try­ing to fig­ure out what it means for the un fund­ing. The CFPB has been con­tro­ver­sial because of its fund­ing struc­ture, lack of account­abil­i­ty and per­ceived polit­i­cal bias. They get their fund­ing from the Fed­er­al reserve. So what is $711.6M? Is it the bill we pay? The  struc­ture has been crit­i­cized as uncon­ven­tion­al and uncon­sti­tu­tion­al. The deep state wants to keep this qui­et, they want to stay away from this. The CFPB direc­tor has sole con­trol over the agen­cy’s hir­ing and its bud­get. The direct has lit­tle account­abil­i­ty to Con­gress or the pres­i­dent. The CFPB has been accused of using faulty data to sup­port rule­mak­ing that advances polit­i­cal goals. It 
• If con­gress doesn’t have over­sight and the Fed­er­al reserve is not fed­er­al. How can the fed­er­al employ­ees union files a law­suit over CFPB shut­down and DOGE access. 
• This is the spig­ot that is going to shut down the Fed and get Jerome Pow­ell to lis­ten to Trump. If you are hear­ing that Ron Paul is going to audit the Fed.. it could hap­pen. 
• Peo­ple con­tin­ue to say that Musk was not elect­ed to any­thing. Any­thing that Musk has done has not killed or harmed any­one. But Antho­ny Fau­ci was not elect­ed to any posi­tion and the mass num­ber of peo­ple that have been killed and harmed by his poli­cies and actions. 
• The case has been stopped against Eric Adams. And Rod Blago­je­vich has been par­doned.
