By mandating real-time payments new legislation by @ChrisVanHollen @SenWarren @RepPressley will make it less expensive to be poor, saving Americansn who live paycheck to paycheck billions in overdrafts, payday loans, check cashing, late fees, interest.

What are they getting away with @JoeVogel_? Republicans are winning voters because they are running better campaigns with better messages. I’m a die hard Democrat, but when the party runs to extremes on out of touch/bad messages with subpar candidates, we lose.

Sad to hear that my delegate would attack community lines in Maryland on the basis of what Texas does. Maryland is already grossly gerrymandered. Making that worse is hardly a way to protect democracy.

Credit unions buying banks is a real problem exacerbated by Trump’s @TheNCUA deregulation. I hope @ICBA is as happy as I am that Harper and Otsuka were reinstated by court order from Trump’s illegal firing. A full NCUA Board needs to reign in this practice.

Great news! Court overturns illegal firings of @TheNCUA Board Members Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka. @kateberry1 broke court ruling. Note the government admits the logic to being able to fire credit union board members is the same for the Federal Reserve. courtlistener.com/docket/6995158…

The House GOP just proposed blocking the enforcement of something called the "Combating Auto Retail Scams" Rule. Ladies and gentlemen, the party of the working class!

We all want fiscal responsibility. But that won't happen as long as central banks cap yields when they spike, as the Fed did in 2020. You can cap yields, but that inevitably incentivizes bad fiscal policy. Our fiscal mess is inextricably linked to the Fed. robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/fiscal-respo…

“Months later, when Mr. Trump hosted a party at Mar-a-Lago for young women in a so-called calendar girl competition, Mr. Epstein was the only other guest” nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/…

New stablecoin law prohibits issuers from offering interest. Yet the loopholes (as crypto calls them work arounds) are clear. coinbase.com/USDC

Excited to talk crypto w/@ABCNewsLive. Tune in to hear what this new stable coin bill means.

Too much partying is hardly the biggest problem facing MoCo.

An exchange in which the OMB Director admits the Administration is currently impounding federal funding *before* Congress legally rescinds those funds.

Great article on the failures of public health experts and left wing politicians who locked down schools and made the pandemic worse have given rise to the wrong response of cutting scientific research in @nytimes nytimes.com/2025/07/17/opi…

Donald Trump is following the authoritarian playbook to a T: 1. Get hold of the courts 2. Erode the rule of law That’s why it’s so critical the Senate rejects Bove and Pirro, as I discussed with @AnaCabrera

@CaitlinLong_ Summed up "Operation Chokepoint" on @cnbc today; Fed held the innovators back so the banks could catch up. Interviews like this are why I watch CNBC. I keep it muted 99% of the time until I see someone like Caitlin come on that can really provide insight.

Big news from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others. nytimes.com/2025/07/17/bus…

Fed independence impacts a lot more than monetary policy as Todd Baker writes in this thoughtful article. clsbluesky.law.columbia.edu/2025/07/15/wha…

Uh ok I read this though and it *does* ban digital central bank reserves? Great job guys. Good bill.

After years and years of public consultation and staff work, six Fed governors voted for this rule in 2023. It's indefensible that they all voted to rescind it today. The Fed continues to cower in fear of what courts *might* do instead of litigating to defend good policy.
