Key congressional Democrats, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Maxine Waters, are urging bank regulators not to support actions by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is associated with Elon Musk. In a letter addressed to Treasury Secretary Bessent and Office of Management and Budget Director Vought, nearly 200 lawmakers expressed concerns over what they describe as 'unconstitutional' requests from DOGE that could undermine the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB has returned over $21 billion to American consumers by holding abusive corporations and predatory lenders accountable. Lawmakers fear that the potential influence of DOGE could jeopardize the agency's mission, which has included recovering significant funds for veterans, students, and working families. The letter emphasizes the importance of the CFPB in protecting Americans from financial exploitation and calls for the removal of DOGE personnel from the agency to restore its operations.
