• Federal appeals court lifts block on Trump administration's mass firings at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — A federal appeals court ruled in a split 2-1 decision that a lower court lacked jurisdiction to block the Trump administration's attempt to fire approximately 1,500 of the CFPB's 1,700 employees. Trump appointees Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao voted in favor of the administration, while Obama appointee Cornelia Pillard dissented. The ruling does not take immediate effect, allowing workers and consumer groups to petition for full circuit court review. The CFPB has returned over $21 billion to consumers since its founding.

• White House press secretary threatened unhoused people with fines or jail — White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that unhoused people in DC will be given the "option" to leave their encampment and go to a homeless shelter for addiction or mental health services or be "susceptible to fines or jail time."
• White House announces enforcement of homelessness laws with threat of fines and jail time — Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that homeless people in Washington DC will be offered shelter and addiction/mental health services, but "if they refuse, they will be susceptible to fines or to jail time" under "pre-existing laws that are already on the books" that "have not been enforced." This represents a shift toward criminalization of homelessness as part of the federal law enforcement surge, weaponizing existing statutes against vulnerable populations.

• Trump administration law expands SNAP work requirements, cutting food stamps for 2.4 million people — The Trump administration's congressional agenda bill, signed into law in July 2025, expanded work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/food stamps). The law now requires parents of children ages 14 and older, adults ages 55–64, veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and former foster care youth to work, volunteer, or participate in job training at least 80 hours monthly to retain benefits. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 2.4 million fewer Americans will receive food stamps as a result, with the poorest households losing approximately $1,200 annually in projected income while the highest earners gain $13,600.
