AND as I would happen, — Trump has now fired Rohit Chopra, the director of the CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU. He was director of the bureau that protected consumers from unfair business practices like over charging and financial abuses. [embedded post]

Welp consumers of America expect your loans to be predatory, your bank fees to be exorbitant, more discrimination in your lending practices. You have no more protections. Yippie.

Rohit Chopra spent every day at CFPB making sure we could have a strong financial system that was also safe for consumers. He cracked down on junk fees and false medical debt reports, protected personal financial data, and investigated dangerous de-banking practices.

Rohit Chopra secured $9.5 billion in redress and penalties for consumers during his tenure Worked to eliminate junk fees and removed medical debt from credit reports Of course this is grounds for Trump to fire him because they aren't serving the same constituents.

Donald Trump claims he is fighting for working people. But every day he shows that is a flat-out lie. Today he fired the Consumer Protection Czar Rohit Chopra who fought to return millions of dollars to everyday people and take on corporate price gouging.

Today caps a remarkable 6+ year run for Rohit Chopra. At @FTC he revived tools to deter lawbreaking, strengthen enforcement, and ban noncompetes. At @CFPB he fought junk fees, shoddy medical debt, and repeat offenders. Grateful to this extraordinary public servant and mentor 👏

Today Trump fired Rohit Chopra, the head of the CFPB, after pressure from the billionaire big tech oligarchs around him. The CFPB has returned *billions* of dollars to consumers taking on junk fees, medical debt, and predatory lending. [image]

Under Rohit Chopra, the CFPB fought to protect the financial rights of all Americans against the finance & tech sectors & showed people the government was working on their behalf. No wonder Trump & company wanted him gone.
