✅ It unlocks investment in urban centers

This morning, I attended arguments at the Supreme Court in the Trump Administration's case to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve.
To be clear, Lisa Cook did nothing wrong, and the independence of the Federal Reserve must be maintained.
But this case is about so much more than that.

Trump dismantled the CFPB—one of the key agencies protecting veterans from scams. In an era where tech scams are everywhere, we should be doing MORE to protect those who served our country, not less. Veterans' benefits belong in veterans' pockets- not in the pockets of scammers.
