One of the most effective freshman lawmakers sworn in this year. Brava, Congresswoman @RepKatiePorter. Companies have no business putting #arbitration clauses into consumer agreements. #classactions #ripoffclauses #endthedebttrap

I don't care how rich or powerful they are; I won't back down from a fight if it means doing the right thing for this country's working families. https://t.co/8iftVzSR7h

Very thoughtful and sophisticated scholarship here establishes that consumers who've had to sign extensive fine print are discouraged & deterred from protecting themselves. Things like #ripoffclauses silence and shut down self-advocacy. This needs to end

It's because of John Roberts and the conservatives on the Supreme Court that these #ripoffclauses have become ubiquitous in banking and consumer contracts. Congress has the power to act on this, but we need court reform, too.

.@Chase snuck a clause in their credit card customers’ terms of service that would waive your right to join class action lawsuits against the bank. I’ve taken on big banks before and secured billions for homeowners. I’ll do the same as president. Chase: reverse this decision.

.@SEC_News Commissioner Robert Jackson said today that secretive, arbitration proceedings deprive the public of the ability to hold corporate wrongdoers accountable. #Ripoffclauses are bad for investors, the public as a whole & for confidence in our markets.

A step in the right direction @RepJayapal @RepCheri @GretchenCarlson @kgillibrand2016 @sengraham2016 Forced Arbitration clauses have no place in employment contracts, let alone any other contract of adhesion. No more #RipOffClauses! https://t.co/XrBNQlsxXl

Hypocrisy Alert: the Independent Community Bankers of America have sued Equifax. Yes, these guys, who just got the Senate to let them force their consumers into #ripoffclauses and out of court, THEMSELVES go to court.

Breaking! Great story from NPR's @tdsamuelson shows that Senate vote killing @CFPB rule on #ripoffclauses will just mean that consumer cases disappear https://t.co/gggRqe4foj, because consumers don't go to arbitration
