Akon. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time. Clearly, the seven PR flacks have been following my work closely.

This is the bolo tie of someone who is retiring. Magnificent.

Anyway, someone is shooting laser eyes at Vought.

The SAFE Banking Act? Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

I didn't realize the lead singer of AC/DC was from Ohio. Impressive accent work!

Just a quick update on this: The CFPB has set up an archive site where you can find the old speeches, press releases, etc. back to late 2024, and they may be adding more. wayback.archive-it.org/23481/*/http... The non-English resources still appear to be gone.

Earlier this week, the CFPB removed historical speeches, testimony, etc. from its website. Today, the non-English language resources are all gone.

Welp, when I tried to get into the consumerfinance.gov, this is all I got. Rumor is there may be a new website coming.

Hope you didn't want to find anything on the CFPB's website before February 2025, because the Trump administration just deleted everything prior to that date.

Apparently the WhoPoo App has thoughts on whether FSOC should designate nonbank financial firms for regular supervision.

For all you National Bank Act preemption fans, the OCC's interim final rules meant to block Illinois's interchange fee law and other similar fee restrictions were sent for White House review yesterday.

Get your pencils ready, folks. The Basel III endgame proposals are gonna hit the Federal Register tomorrow and the comment period closes June 18.

Now that the capital rules are out for comment, the OCC (and FDIC and NCUA) are getting ready for their long-anticipated rewrite of AML rules. This hit the White House regulatory review office yesterday.

I spent all night trying to remember what this reminded me of. And then it hit me.

Let's check in at HUD

HUD opened a fair housing investigation into Minneapolis. It's an all-of-government approach. Just as a reminder, the Trump administration is rolling back fair housing enforcement at all of the banking and housing regulators.

Happy Thanksgiving from the CFPB!

I mean sure, why not.

Never miss your shot.

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

They must've been stuck there for hours

This was toward the back of the march. It really hasn't thinned out at all. I've seen a few cops around, but not many. They have nothing to do. It's all completely peaceful.

This is Times Square in NYC. The people keep on coming. Lots of One Piece flags and "we have friends ever" signs. Not pictured: famed character actor Dylan Baker, who walked right past me a few minutes ago.

Some federal agencies are offline during the shutdown, but not all! The FDIC is going to meet on Tuesday morning, and I guess Russ Vought is going to take time out of his, ahem, busy schedule to be there. Here's the agenda.

This is on the front page of HUD's website. After a check of other cabinet agencies, it appears that, as of a minute or two ago, it appears that HUD is the only one to have this.

Couple of interesting CFPB filings went for White House review this week.

I felt like the timeline could use a brief change a pace, so I just wanted to share this press release that came to my inbox.
