  • On a mostly party-line vote, with Vice President Pence breaking the tie, the Senate last night cooled the heels of the CFPB just a bit. The vote overturns a CFPB rule that would have made it easier for consumers to launch class-action suits against banks, rather than seek arbitration.
  • The House earlier voted to overturn, so the measure now heads to the White House, where the president is expected to make it law.
  • The WSJ describes the passage as the most significant legislative victory for the financial industry since Trump became president.
  • The bit now between its teeth, look for the GOP to press further to neuter the CFPB and its crusading, politically ambitious chief Richard Cordray.
