Our new poll with @CRLONLINE shows 80% of midterm voters support the CFPB. “There is a massive disconnect between Congressional Republicans’ push to loosen Wall Street regulations, and what midterm voters actually want.” -Tom Feltner, AFR buff.ly/dJ9Q9eD

It's been a year since Trump and Republicans passed their economic bill. Since then? Billionaires—and the world's first trillionaire—hold a record $9 trillion in wealth. And healthcare, grocery, and energy costs are way up. Fight back with us July 8th: bit.ly/3QhGUc5

Earned wage access products are nothing more than high interest payday loans in disguise that prey on struggling workers. Thank you, @RepPressley for taking action against the deceptive lending practices and astronomically high interest rates utilized by these fintech companies.
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@RepPressley

I introduced an amendment to ensure that states have the authority to take action to improve consumer protections. And Republicans voted it down. Grateful Massachusetts is leading the way & protecting consumers who were victims of predatory earned wage access products.

@CRLONLINE People do not want this. Senators should listen to the public, not crypto billionaires trying to buy the rules they want. Tell your Senators to vote NO, oppose cloture, and support a filibuster of the CLARITY Act now. actionnetwork.org/letters/demand…

An estimated 33.5% of the US stock market is passively owned. Millions of invested retirees, workers and their families rely on a set of financial industry intermediaries, regulators and lawmakers to protect this investment strategy. But new changes now threaten that.

President Trump promised to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. We are more than 5 months past Trump's January 20 deadline. Not a single bank has done so. Absolute 🔥🔥 from @senwarren

SpaceX went public today at $135 a share and $1.77 trillion valuation — an almost 100 price to sales ratio — with a governance structure that consolidates power with Elon Musk and attempts to dramatically restrict shareholder lawsuits. buff.ly/XSmJfB7
