When there weren't enough bank examiners on the beat, SVB and Signature Bank failed, requiring big bailouts.

The FDIC should explain why it’s now axing even more examiners whose job it is to make sure big banks don't crash our economy.

Jersey and Nevada you’re up!
Tell your Senators “Hell NO RFK Jr”
(202) 224-3121
MAGA / MAHA is pushing "please confirm RFK Jr" calls to two Dems: Corey Booker (D-NJ), and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV)

The RFK Jr. confirmation hearing has been scheduled for 1/29/25. The nomination is on shaky ground.

Here's the call to action: Reach Out To Your Senators and Urge Them To Oppose RFK Jr's nomination to be HHS Secretary

Here's how to do that, step-by-step:
