Black wealth has dropped by 25% while unemployment, cost of living, & gas prices have gone up. When the rest of America catches a cold, Black folks catch pneumonia. Trump's failed economic policy & harmful budget cuts are hurting our community & the harm is coming for everyone.

AI is moving fast, and Congress can’t afford to move slowly. As Co-Chair of the House AI Commission, I’m working to put real guardrails in place, require testing before deployment, and set commonsense rules of the road that match this moment.

Trump doesn't give a damn about the housing crisis! He threw a temper tantrum rather than sign the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, but had no problem easing sanctions on Russian diesel. He's helping Putin while American families are being priced out of homeownership. Disgraceful! nytimes.com/2026/10/15/busin…

#ICYMI - Ranking Member @RepMaxineWaters calls out Russell Vought, the CFPB's Acting Director at a full Committee hearing: "You have been hiding while unlawfully trying, and thankfully failing, to dismantle the nation's top consumer watchdog. I’ve never delighted in someone’s failure more than I have delighted in yours." WATCH:

The headline say's it all. American families are struggling, but the Trump Administration's priority is clearly to enrich Trump and his family, this time by allowing his crypto firm to become a bank. It's Trump first, America last. READ: subscriber.politicopro.com/a…

On this day 16 years ago, Congress passed Dodd-Frank to say "never again" to Wall Street recklessness. Ranking Member @RepMaxineWaters helped lead that fight to safeguard consumers and our financial system. Today, Congress should continue that legacy by voting NO on H.R. 6955.

🚨 "The Federal Reserve is independent. It doesn't answer to Donald Trump." WATCH: At today's Committee markup, Task Force RM @RepJuanVargas breaks down the recent SCOTUS @federalreserve ruling, calling out the unprecedented attack on the Fed's independence and our economic stability.

I spoke out against two Republican bills during today's @USHouseFSC markup that would make it easier for bad actors to evade SEC fines and accountability, paving the way for the kind of crony capitalism that harms American investors and weakens our economy.

We need to protect consumers and make it easier to correct mistakes on credit reports.   Errors on credit reports can affect people's ability to secure housing, get a job, or get credit. Our constituents deserve strong consumer protections and a fair process to correct inaccurate information. @USHouseFSC @HouseDemocrats

While families face rising fraud and credit reporting errors, the Administration is gutting the #CFPB. True consumer protection requires strong oversight and a fully functioning watchdog — not corporate handouts. 📺 : tinyurl.com/2mmpcnyc
