Oh, this one is sending the Democrats into even more apoplexy on top of all the other crazy. It’s full on Category 5 Moonbat

DOGE targets Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as Musk tweets ‘RIP’

Tech billionaire Elon Musk signaled on Friday that he could seek to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as he and his advisers — deputized by President Donald Trump to cut costs — burrowed into the federal watchdog formed to protect Americans from scams and corporate abuse.

On X, his social media site, Musk posted: “CFPB RIP,” along with an emoji of a tombstone.

Hours earlier, Musk’s aides — under the banner of the U.S. DOGE Service — arrived at the CFPB’s Washington office and began to access its sensitive personnel and financial records, according to emails viewed by The Washington Post and four people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisal.

Initially, the DOGE officials appeared to study the CFPB’s compliance with Trump’s recent executive orders, including its directive to freeze federal hiring, the people said. The bureau this week broadly halted its work of investigating and penalizing corporate wrongdoing, after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — tapped by Trump to oversee CFPB on an acting basis — ordered an agency-wide freeze on Monday.

The CFPB is not as bad as many. There was serious concern initially, and, some of it has born fruit, like their intrusive over-regulation. But, now, we’ll see if they are also funneling money in, let’s just say, improper manners.

The agency’s investigative work can be highly sensitive, affording the bureau extraordinary access to a bank’s communications, customer records and other nonpublic data. But it is unclear whether DOGE officials have been able to access any of those records at the agency, according to the four people familiar with the matter. An email reviewed by The Post suggested that Musk’s team may only be able to view, and not change, some databases.

In other words, the Washington Post and the liberals do not want transparency.

Meanwhile, Democrats tried to gain access to the ED (Education Department), and this security guard was not having it. I love how he didn’t even bother to move his glasses from the top of his head. And facial expressions. Probably listening to Pink Floyd’s Brain Damage in his head

Maxine Waters demands to see this federal employee’s ID again.

He responds, “No,” and continues to block Democrat lawmakers from entering the Department of Education.

No one respects Waters or the Dems.

They’ve been BOUNCED!pic.twitter.com/0LdERnqyTQ
