Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse



Among the changes enacted through Dodd-Frank was the creation of the database, which catalogues consumer complaints about financial products and services. The law called for the CFPB to maintain it and provide Congress with annual updates analyzing the complaints.

Richard Cordray, the bureau's director, is among the complaint portal's biggest proponents.

“A lot of financial institutions just wear you down by nickel-and-diming you to death,” said Tyler, who has represented Brooklyn consumers since 1989. Since consumers generally don’t file lawsuits over seemingly small errors or losses, and because arbitration can be a time-consuming and ultimately unfulfilling process, “a lot of people give up, because you’re not going to keep fighting these things after a while.”

The complaint database offers consumers an easy way to hold companies accountable, make a claim for restitution, and alert authorities to potential wrongdoing.

Top Trump adviser Stephen Miller, who is widely described as a chief engineer of Trump’s “America first” agenda, made the rounds on the Sunday shows, where he talked about the future of two crucial pillars in that agenda: The “Muslim ban,” and the reports of stepped-up deportation raids that have been circulating. He vowed that the White House would soon offer a new version of the ban, and defended the deportation raids as necessary to “saving American lives.”

Both have been met with extreme blowback, and the White House has retreated (a bit) on both. But this is just the beginning.
