The Bureau's overdraft rule would implement government price controls over a product that has proven necessary for consumers to make day-to-day purchases. Today, Congress has an opportunity to invalidate this Biden-era rule that, if…

I think it is incredibly shameful that my Republican colleagues want to gut the rule that capped most credit card late fees at just $5. Credit card companies over the people we represent, that is what they are choosing with this. Working…

Haley Stevens
@haleystevens· Democratic · MI· Apr 8, 2025

I would like to read Thorndike's words. Again, I am not using a name. We are musing. We are hearing in the zeitgeist musings about plans to annex Canada. I am not musing that. I am a Member of Congress. I don't think we need to annex…

I rise today to talk about the threats to the VA Administration and to our veterans, all in the name of finding $6 trillion in the couch cushions for President Trump's tax plan. I come to this very openly because of my background. I am a…

on so-called ``Liberation Day'' this week, President Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on all of our trading partners--the size, the scope, and the impact of which have not been seen for nearly 100 years. The last time our Nation imposed…
