CFPB changes office logo, affirming name change amid Mulvaney's crusade to burn it all down
Big day for name changes.

IHOP lit up the internet Monday after announcing it will now offer burgers and changing its name to the much stupider “IHOB” — International House of Burgers, rather than the International House of Pancakes.
There’s another name change, though, that’s getting less attention. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is actually the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP).
CFPB head Mick Mulvaney has grown increasingly frustrated with people calling the agency by the wrong name, but AP Style, which most news outlets follow, hasn’t changed its guidance and thus the agency is still consistently referred to in the media as the CFPB. (Political appointees at the bureau have reportedly gone so far as to ask the AP to change its guidelines.)
At any rate, the logo at the CFPB officially was officially changed Monday. The nonprofit Public Citizen tweeted a photo and joked, “Welcome to the… Best Consumer Fraud Place? Or perhaps the Bureau for Corrupt Financial Predators?”

Mulvaney has also refused to even request funding for the agency, which is allowed to request whatever funding it believes it needs from the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is then required to fulfill that request. For his first fiscal quarter, Mulvaney requested $0 for the agency and said it would use emergency funding to operate.
Another asshole that should be in jail and impeached
