The crown jewel of the Dodd-Frank Act
15 years ago, after Wall Street’s reckless bets crashed our economy, we enacted the Dodd-Frank Act—a step to rein in big banks and prevent working families from once again paying the price.
Dodd-Frank was clear—consumers first, not Wall Street. But the Trump Admin disagrees.

It’s important to note that despite this memo, we managed to pass both Obamacare and Dodd frank that year
When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Whatever you think about CFPB, it was created by Congress (as part of the Dodd-Frank Act) and can only be abolished by Congress, not by the President acting as a dictator.

Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting the Dodd-Frank Act and reducing regulations for mortgage lenders.

The Biden admin bent the Dodd-Frank rules when intervening in SVB and absolutely bailed out the rich depositors and corporates.
1. Silicon Valley Bank didn't get bailed out. It failed, and was acquired.
2. FDIC didn't do any special favors for SVB bankers, and didn't do it for silicon valley crypto bros. They did it to keep the promise that leads to stability: " When you put money in a US Bank, your deposits are safe."

Most underrated Biden admin mistake was bailing out Silicon Valley Bank.
SVB bet big on low interest rates and lost. Rich tech VCs who put too many eggs in that basket generated a bank run, then called for govt money.
Got their bailout, helped elect Trump, and now reaping rewards from corruption.

(1) The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act became law in 2010 in response to years of deregulation that brought the 2008 meltdown. (2) The regulations under Dodd- Frank took years. (3) they didn’t go far enough & many have been rolled back or eviscerated

Bessent: "These 2008, 2009, 2010 financial rules were too tight. They hamstrung the American financial system. It was time for a change ... we have to take the financial system out of this straitjacket ... the regulated system is too constrained."

any obituary for Barney Frank that talks about the Dodd-Frank Act, the landmark bill he sponsored for Wall Street reform, should also talk about how he spent the rest of his life undermining those reforms, resulting in the collapse of not only SVB but Signature Bank, where he sat on the board

The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law 16 years ago today.
Though it included some key reforms, it failed to include the most important way to prevent future crashes: reinstate the Glass-Stegall Act and separate Wall Street from Main Street.

Regardless of what you think about CFPB, it was created by an act of Congress (the Dodd-Frank Act). If Congress wants to amend or abolish it, that's the legislative branch's prerogative. It is not Elon Musk's prerogative.
Musk & the DOGE henchmen are now inside & gutting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
CFPB costs less than $1billion to run, but has returned over $20 billion to ordinary Americans who’ve been victims of big business fraud & illegal junk fees.
A great day for corporate scammers.

I'm either blocked by or blocking everyone in the exchange, but: Obama had once in a generation leverage over the entire financial industry and there were more options than "give the banks an enormous check with Dodd-Frank" and "do nothing."
