For those like me, who quickly lose track of the alphabet salad in Washington, DC, that’s the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Ms English filed suit in federal court to be acting director of the thing rather than the man President Trump appointed.

#5  I believe the correct description is "Augean".

Hercules succeeded in cleaning the Augean stables, Mercutio, wheeas Sisyphus will never succeed in pushing that boulder to the top of the hill. I seriously hope cleaning out the DC swamp is merely an Augean task.

#3  Another article (link down the memory hole, sorry) referred to this as an example of the "Sisyphean" task Trump faces in draining the swamp. WADR, I believe the correct description is "Augean".
