They closed the offices for a week and instructed all staff to work remotely from home.  Not exactly "shutting it down".

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

CFPB Workers Protest Elon Musk Outside Bureau Headquarters: ‘Arrest Elon’

Olivia Rondeau 10 Feb 2025

Around 100 U.S. Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB) workers protested outside the agency’s Washington, DC, headquarters on Saturday, chanting slogans and holding signs calling for the arrest of Elon Musk.

The demonstration came a day after Musk posted “CFBP RIP” on X as his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) began its auditing protocols at the bureau, Breitbart News reported.

The bureau’s website now says, “404: Page not found.”

The group of workers gathered outside the bureau to protest Musk and President Donald Trump for “subverting democracy,” Reuters reported.

A union representing the employees told the outlet that DOGE may jeopardize consumer data while having access to the bureau’s internal systems.

On Friday, Trump appointed Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought acting CFPB director, who in turn directed bureau staff to stop all pending investigations and bank supervision, according to the Washington Post.

In the end when these employees no longer have a job, I wonder if they will be mad at the judge that stopped the 8 month buyout program.

In the end the POTUS will have control over the executive branch and the size of this branch will be smaller, depts will be audited, and systems will be in place to track all expenditures.
