🚨Hey Tennessee —both your senators just voted to overturn a Biden rule limiting bank overdraft fees to $5
Who are @senatorhagerty & @marshablackburn serving? The Banks or The People? No wonder they won’t do town halls.
Also: Will local outlets report that they did it? 🤷🏼♀️

Alabama lawmakers are trying to pass a “gang database” bill that would let law enforcement label you based on tattoos, clothes, or rumors.
No charge. No conviction. Just suspicion.

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.
