CFPB Staffer Alexis Goldstein Fired for Confronting DOGE Members, Announces Run for Congress

The Trump administration has fired Consumer Financial Protection Bureau program manager Alexis Goldstein for documenting a meeting a year ago between the agency and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. I have been on admin leave ever since, until I was fired last week," says Goldstein, who says the Trump administration's gutting of the CFPB removed key oversight of the financial industry. So, essentially, no one is watching the biggest banks."

Goldstein is now running to represent Maryland's 6th Congressional District.
