As I said in this statement, if Vought thought firing Alexis for doing her job would intimidate the rest of us, he clearly underestimated us again. We will continue to follow Alexis’ model of standing up and speaking out when this administration undermines our obligations to the American people.
The retaliatory firing of our union member Alexis Goldstein for doing her job to protect sensitive CFPB data from DOGE is shameful. We all know one person who deserves to be fired from the CFPB and it certainly isn't Alexis. Yeah, we're looking at you, Vought #StopVought nteu335.org/2026/02/13/c...
CFPB Workers Condemn Illegal Retaliatory Firing of Union Member Alexis Goldstein
