BREAKING: The CFPB has deleted 15 years' worth of data off its website. Every post that predates Trump's second term has been removed except for reports mandated by Congress. In total some 1,700 pages on the website have been wiped out.

the trump administration assertion that it is “unlawful” for private organizations to pursue diversity is nonsense. what this is, once again, is an effort to roll back desegregation that the ABA has surrendered to.
