Why is the FTC going after trans kids instead of standing up to corporate power? Maybe it's because earlier this year, Trump illegally terminated the only 2 Democratic FTC Commissioners over political differences, leaving a deeply unbalanced FTC.

"We're at a point where it's very uncertain whether the [CFPB] will ultimately step in on the side of consumers & not take the side of their bank as they did here," Eric Halperin, former CFPB enforcement director .#MilConsumer2025.

Today is Black Women's Equal Pay Day, highlighting how long black women must work to match the previous year's earnings of white, non-Hispanic men. Black women earn only 66 cents to every dollar. It's past time to close this gap and create an economy that works for everyone.

Tesla’s stock price has fallen 40% since December and now they are days away from breaking Texas law if they don’t hold their shareholders meeting. Tesla shareholders deserve better. "If there is no meeting, there is no day of reckoning.".

CLARITY worsens crypto corruption. It ignores ethical concerns posed by the promotion of crypto ventures by high government officials. Can regulators enforce the law if these ventures pose risks to our financial system? Will they? We don't know. 🚩

It's Trump who may gain the most from the CLARITY Act — his family’s wealth & power is now inextricably rooted in crypto, making $1.2 billion in crypto the past few months alone. They have a vested interest in this even if it endangers the general public.

CLARITY is a massive deregulatory crypto bill backed by a gusher of campaign cash & lobbying muscle from ultra-wealthy venture capital firms & crypto billionaires. Why is Congress suddenly pretending that demographic cares about financial stability?

The CLARITY Act is broken beyond fixing. We've put together a fact sheet breaking down why the bill is not what they say it is, and why if you remember the lead up to the 2008 financial crisis, this should feel like déjà vu. 🧵

Trump claims to support #servicemembers but his CFPB is dismantling the very protections they rely on. Military families deserve better. #MilitaryConsumerMonth #MilConsumer2025 .

This bill is the most regressive legislation Congress has ever passed, rewarding the ultra-rich at the expense of everyone else, and it will amplify racial and economic inequality for years to come.

The giveaways to private equity firms subsidize predatory and extractive practices that harm workers, families, and communities. At the same time, the big, brutal bill dismantles critical agencies like the CFPB, making people more vulnerable to scams, rip-offs, and junk fees.

The House narrowly approved the big, brutal bill that delivers generous tax breaks for Wall Street private equity firms and the superrich and that are paid for by pushing tens of millions of people off programs like Medicaid, nutrition, and student loans.

This is disgusting. Trump's megabill is robbing those most in need in order to hand a $1 trillion gift to the uber wealthy.

RT @allisonmpreiss: For months, Trump's CFPB has insisted it is focusing its efforts on protecting servicemembers & veterans. @AP: "Navy Fe….

The House of Representatives should stand up for the people and reject the one big, brutal bill, a legislative monstrosity that fuels financial abuse and racial and economic inequality.".

Americans for Financial Reform and allies pushed to make Wall Street pay its fair share, stop the attacks on the CFPB, and prevent private equity from buying up housing stock and worsening the housing unaffordability crisis, but the Senate rejected these commonsense improvements.

Paying for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy with savage cuts to nutrition, healthcare, and other programs is the most regressive giveaway to Wall Street tycoons that Congress has ever considered.

"Today, the Senate majority rammed through legislation that gives tax breaks to billionaires, cuts programs people rely on to meet their families’ crucial needs, and guts agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that protect people from abusive corporate practices.

Have you called your Senator and told them to vote no on the #BigBrutalBill? Were you able to leave a message? .The time to act is now. Calling takes less than a minute! .

Join us & @AFTunion at 3 p.m. today to discuss what's at stake with Tesla's upcoming shareholders meeting. Shareholders are done watching Musk tank their investments while the board enables his bad behavior & lavishes him with massive pay packages. RSVP: .
