Walmart’s elimination of the greeter position may preclude people with disabilities from working there – and that’s unacceptable. The company must uphold its commitment to workers with disabilities. https://t.co/Ybr9ez6rnT — PolitiTweet.org

Special interests already have armies of lobbyists and lawyers on their side – they don’t need judges in their pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

By blocking funding for women to access potentially lifesaving healthcare – including breast and cervical cancer screenings and infant mortality prevention programs – Ohio lawmakers are putting politics over the health and safety of their constituents. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s ruling rewards a political stunt by state lawmakers that has real consequences for Ohio women and families. https://t.co/k3Tx1W4hmy — PolitiTweet.org

If we’re going to restore the dignity of work in this country, we need to fight for the people who make it work – like workers at Wells Fargo, who’ve become victims to corporate greed. #WheelsAreOffWF https://t.co/DR5rBPxfT0 — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE: Sherrod asks @CFPB Director Kraninger about CFPB employee Eric Blankenstein. Last fall, reporters uncovered that Mr. Blankenstein has a history of writing racists statements on his blog. https://t.co/zN0F3zvuRW — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown

According to a @CFPB report released several years ago, 4 out of 5 people who got a payday loan either had to get another loan to pay off the first, or they defaulted. This doesn’t look like “access to credit.” It looks like a cycle of debt that a family can’t get out of. — PolitiTweet.org

Payday lender ACE Cash Express used this chart to train its employees. Sherrod’s first question to Director Kraninger: “Can you show me on this chart where in the cycle a family actually pays off their loan?” Answer: they don’t, because they usually can’t. https://t.co/zDdlXRN4wN — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE: Sherrod asks @CFPB Director Kraninger about the CFPB’s proposal to gut the payday lending rule. https://t.co/zN0F3zvuRW — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown

Millions of Americans got hurt because Wells Fargo cared more about profits than its customers. It was the @CFPB that helped uncover this scandal and it was the CFPB that got many Americans their money back. That’s what Ms. Kraninger’s job should be about. — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown

Right now, Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan is testifying in the House Financial Services Committee about a laundry list of ways his bank abused its customers. — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown

The old @CFPB prosecuted debt collectors who used shady tactics to harass borrowers and threaten them in their homes or at their jobs. Now, the CFPB is considering a proposal to let debt collectors call borrowers as many times as they want. — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown

The @CFPB used to make sure loans have clear explanations regular Americans could understand. Now, the CFPB has created the “Office of Innovation,” which seems to help big banks & tech firms innovate new ways to trick their customers into loans & complicated financial products. — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown

The @CFPB used to protect borrowers from shady lending practices that trapped hardworking families in an endless cycle of debt. Now, the CFPB Director is giving payday lenders and car title lenders free rein. — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown

@CFPB inspectors used to show up at Wall St banks & other lenders to make sure they were obeying Military Lending Act—which protects active-duty servicemembers & their families from predatory loans. Under new leadership, CFPB inspectors aren’t protecting servicemembers anymore. — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown

From Sherrod’s opening statement: Like food inspectors, the @CFPB is supposed to hunt down scammers trying to sneak toxic products onto our kitchen tables. But under new leadership, the Consumer Bureau has turned its back on that job. — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown

HAPPENING NOW: At the @CFPB’s semi-annual report to Congress, Sherrod and the Senate Banking Committee question CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger. https://t.co/zN0F3zvuRW — PolitiTweet.org
