I often think about the point @paulwaldman1 makes here, in his kind write-up of our new story on the CFPB. Trump’s personal indifference to small-government ideals doesn’t cramp the true believers in his admin, as some Rs once feared. It liberates them. https://t.co/LThm7o2NWT — PolitiTweet.org

@leahmcelrath I see a pretty consistent theme on each side, personally. Many of Warren's proposals are about reforming the rules of democratic capitalism to re-balance power. Sanders is heavier on having government pay for and provide more stuff -- a shift towards European-style government. — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
This is not a clean divide between Warren and, say, Sanders. Each has proposals in both buckets. But it helps carve the basic distinction between Warren (a former Republican who describes herself as a capitalist) and Sanders (a socialist or social Democrat). — PolitiTweet.org

Political scientist @StevenKVogel describes it pretty well in this @nytopinion piece from January -- "pre-distribution" vs. "redistribution." https://t.co/Gd2lNsvDSI — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
One takeaway from the CFPB's history is how it represented a fairly specific type of market intervention, rooted (non-exclusively o/c) in @SenWarren's views on how markets do and don't work. Relevant not only to left-right debates but left-left debates. https://t.co/hRxVxvJTiO — PolitiTweet.org

How do you get rid of a regulation? You write a new regulation that un-writes the old one. But first, you have to explain why you were wrong the first time. How Mick Mulvaney turned the C.F.P.B. inside out. https://t.co/hRxVxvJTiO https://t.co/X25Nnlq6uf — PolitiTweet.org

Mulvaney’s slow-rolling attack on the bureau’s enforcement and regulatory powers wasn’t just one of the Trump era’s most emblematic assaults on the so-called administrative state. It was also, in part, an audition. https://t.co/hRxVxvJTiO https://t.co/YP6Yjl03ut — PolitiTweet.org

My article is the story of what happened next -- a subtle, bitter, prolonged bureaucratic battle over one small but powerful agency. A proxy for the country’s larger ideological battles over deregulation, Trumpism, and who Trumpian populism really serves. https://t.co/hRxVxvJTiO — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
There are different views on this, of course. For a deep dive into anti-CFPB thinking, here is a long essay that @NRO published a couple of years ago by a former bureau staffer who is extremely critical of the Obama-era agency. https://t.co/7eGjcc176O — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
Mulvaney and his political team at the bureau viewed the Obama-era CFPB as unconstitutional and out of control. They also argued that the imbalance of power Warren critiqued was, for the most part, not the job of government to correct. — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
In my story, we focus on payday lending, a smallish financial industry whose customer base in the working poor, concentrated in "Trump states." Mulvaney comes from a big payday state, where payday is widely used as credit, and sometimes some of the only credit available to them. — PolitiTweet.org
