I don’t understand how that didn’t happen immediately. My understanding was cfpb was somewhat unique in that Congress created it as an independent thing and with its own source of funding.
We are going to see a lot of this happening for years to come. Where this administration will literally and has done throughout this year alone. As they try to dismantle one government agency after another only for the leftover and relatively sane representatives remaining having to step in and be like "no, what are you doing? are you trying to throw this country into anarchic chaos?"
This administration: "UH-HUH!" with a dorky dumbass looking grin.
And yes you'd be right, it was Congress who passed it, Obama signed it into law. So once again, unsurprisingly, this loose-excuse of an administration breaks the fucking law. Because of course that's all that they're good at.

I expect a judge ruling or something to hopefully come in and put a stop to that. Like having to force the SNAP benefits thing to be funded.
Anything this administration touches, turns to rigor mortis.
