RIP Congressman Barney Frank, the legendary co-sponsor of the Dodd-Frank Act, which reigned in the financial industry after the 2007 crisis.

Your work helped millions and your legend lives on in all who fight for economic justice.

Thank you, Barney! #ProtectConsumers

People are offered medical credit cards in the dentist's chair under anesthesia. Crazy but true. Another great video from @MorePerfectUS

[NCLC @NCLC4consumers]

Powerful video from @MorePerfectUS. NCLC Senior Attorney April Kuehnhoff explains how medical credit cards and other specialized medical lending products harm consumers.

What an honor to meet with @RepMcGovern and hear his deep commitment to #ProtectConsumers. Thank you! And keep up the great work! #CAW2025

[NCLC @NCLC4consumers]

We’re so glad @RepMcGovern sat down with us to discuss issues important to ordinary folks in the Bay State. The #CFPB and its rules to reduce overdraft fees to $5, keep fraud out of #bigtech payment apps, and to keep medical debt off credit reports matter! #CAW2025 #HandsOffCFPB

[Michelle Deakin @Mbdeakin]

Great to speak with @WhipKClark's office and hear such strong support for #CFPB and #ConsumerProtection. Thank you for your commitment to #ProtectConsumers #CAW2025

“The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau takes the side of ordinary people and honest businesses," said Richard Dubois @NCLC4consumers. "Without it we could return to the days before the 2008 financial crisis." #ProtectConsumers #DefendCFPB https://t.co/wfCK2lGvKq

“The illegal actions to shut down the #CFPB halt work to safeguard your private information, protect you when hackers raid your bank account, and help you save your home when you are being unfairly rushed to #foreclosure." @lsaundersnclc #ProtectConsumers https://t.co/Ck2MOGBlrt

[Erin Witte @ErinWitteNJ]

Now is the time to step up and defend the @CFPB. Call the folks you *actually elected* to step up (link below), sign the petition (link below), and tell this unelected, corrupt billionaire that you are tired of his nonsense.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Elon now bragging about destroying an $800 million/year agency that has returned $21 billion to consumers who've been screwed by banks, credit card companies, and payday lenders, and other scammers.

Get ready for the return of credit card late fees, overdraft penalties, and all kinds of new scams

[Michelle Deakin @Mbdeakin]

The slow-rolling couple continues. #ProtectConsumers

[Center for Digital Democracy; @DigitalDemoc]

Americans financial privacy & safety at risk as Trump/Musk #DOGE arrives at #CFPB (acc'd to reports). The CFPB has saved American taxpapers & consumers $ billions, inc. stopping overcharging by banks/credit co's. Undermining American financial security must be stopped.
