After the 2008 crash wiped out a generation of savings, Congress built one agency whose entire job was to be on the customer's side of the counter — junk fees, servicer errors, illegal debt collection, the fine print written to be misread. It worked, which is why the industry has wanted it gone since the day it opened, and why it is now being hollowed out from the inside: enforcement dropped, cases abandoned, staff pushed out, the complaint line left to ring. Nothing about the conduct stopped. Only the referee left the field. When a bank takes money it should not have taken, an ordinary person has no lawyer and no leverage — the agency was the leverage. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to restore the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's funding, staffing, and enforcement authority, and to protect its independence from being switched off by any future administration.
