The CFPB just deleted 1,700 pages of consumer advisories, including warnings about medical debt collectors and predatory solar loans. These resources exist to protect everyday Americans. The only people who benefit from deleting these protections are the predatory companies the #CFPB was built to stop. ow.ly/igRz50Z3kSg #ConsumerProtection #ConsumerRights

Time and again, Trump has failed to deliver on his promise to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. The latest test – will his regulators allow a bank to charge interest rates of more than 100% to families across America already struggling with rising costs?

24-hour care work shifts are an unusual exemption carved out in New York state law. Worse still, workers are paid for only 13 of the 24 hours. bit.ly/49liSTy

"It's right at a time when we are seeing an exponential rise in the cost of health care overall, in the cost of premiums," said Maura Collinsgru, a health policy advocate for New Jersey Citizen Action. "You're telling me that these CEOs and these nonprofit hospital systems are enriching their CEOs far beyond anything that the market should be bearing. Who gets these kinds of bonuses? This isn't Wall Street. This is health care." app.com/story/news/hea…

110 million Americans cannot pay off their credit card bill each month. Donald Trump said he would cap credit card rates at 10%. Now Hassett says record high-rate credit card debt is an economic achievement. I wonder why Trump's approval on the economy is bottoming out? 🤔
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline

Kevin Hassett: "The consumer is really, really firing on all cylinders…Credit card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else too."
