Choose to fight only righteous fights, because then when things get tough — and they will — you will know that there is only one option ahead of you: Nevertheless, you must persist. - @ewarren
@LucasKunceMO Federalist Society Strikes Again. Erin Morrow Hawley, like Ginni Thomas, holds a large position of unelected power in matters related to SCOTUS. Also, access to the Judiciary Committee her husband serves on, and as a lawyer fighting against reproductive freedom.
You know why House Republicans are manufacturing a debt ceiling crisis? To demand cuts that could throw hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work, AND to let corporations skip out on the bill at tax time. I’m going to keep fighting to stop their schemes.
We need to reform our budget models so that inaccurate math doesn’t take precedence over investments that will create long-term prosperity—like universal child care. Read more in my new Op-Ed: https://t.co/PT0jD9584o
What’s happening in Tennessee is infuriating and anti-democratic. I stand with @brotherjones_, @VoteGloriaJ, @Justinjpearson, and the gun violence prevention advocates who are demanding action: https://t.co/Z2Qj0C3M3G
BlackRock still appears to be the favorite government contractor to handle private securities transactions on the US's behalf. The firm is now handling asset sales tied to failed banks after overseeing a US bond buying effort at the height of the pandemic. https://t.co/o31N20xQyG
@matthewstoller Excellent use of ChatGPT! Add Signature Bank? Remains unclear why it flies so under the radar here. @SenWarren and @repPorter are already co-sponsoring the Secure Viable Banking (SVB) Act. Maybe they can add some of this to the legislation? https://t.co/30LxUxFyHb
@norakatekeefe@TinaSmithMN@dscc Fantastic! Grateful for @TinaSmithMN's leadership at the Women's Senate Network, especially when POTUS puts out a tone deaf tweet like the one below.
Calling out MAGA Republicans on the ACA doesn't land with uterus owners, the Dobbs decision and a stinky SCOTUS. 🤣
Wall Street is looting the economy—and Washington is helping them do it. I’m tired of big financial firms padding their own pockets while the rest of the economy suffers, and that’s why I’ve got a plan to end it: https://t.co/klbgd2nFgV
Next, my plan would address the incentives that fuel useless speculation that can make bankers rich but undermines the rest of the economy. Washington has encouraged this speculation with giveaways, subsidies, and lax rules. I want to end these practices immediately.
Obviously, there are very few politicians who want to protect working families from Wall Street and the like. Even fewer who have real plans to do so. @Ewarren has had a plan since 2019. Maybe elect her president? (Read the whole thread)

🚨MUST WATCH: Meet the Republican & Democratic lawmakers who deregulated Silicon Valley Bank & who are now trying to defend their votes after the bank collapsed & got a bailout.
Here's the full list of those who voted for dereg: https://t.co/D2WOb9tKEr

@LeverNews Meanwhile @ewarren had a plan to prevent this in 2019. Let's elect her president. (Read the whole thread. Postal banking!) https://t.co/ftEnKofD5V

Let's be perfectly clear: @ewarren has had a plan for this for this for a while. So maybe elect her president?

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank was totally avoidable.
In 2018, Wall Street pushed a deregulation bill that allowed banks like SVB to take reckless risks. It passed, even as I and many others warned of the risks.
I am writing legislation to reverse that law, S. 2155.
My friends in Southeast MO now have to vote 10-20 miles away — with 0 public input. Some said they don’t even have cars.
The fight for voting rights is far from over. That's why our campaign to replace Josh Hawley will invest THIS YEAR in voter reg AND early-vote infrastructure.
President Biden is right to crack down on junk fees. Hidden charges from banks and airlines are not only annoying, but costly for families. Powerfully important work by @briandeeseNEC, @superwuster, @BharatRamamurti & the @WhiteHouse to save people money. https://t.co/8hnDwe1JDG
Consulting giant @McKinsey got paid $45 million to help @providence hospital exploit 55,000+ poor patients who were entitled to free health care—wringing money from them & saddling them with debt. @RonWyden & I want answers on this exploitation of patients.https://t.co/NkSiD8OTRK
