The Military Lending Act is a readiness tool. When servicemembers aren’t locked in high-cost debt, they stay deployable & focused. Weakening the MLA reintroduces a substantial readiness risk that DoD and Congress already solved. #ProtectConsumers #VeteransDay #KeeptheMLAstrong

When families lose coverage, we all pay the price. Hospitals shift unpaid bills onto everyone—even people with private insurance.

📢 Congress must make premium tax credits permanent + repeal harmful cuts before costs skyrocket.

Millions of families and individuals are already stretching every dollar — they can’t afford higher premiums or more medical debt.

But instead of making tax credits permanent, Congress delivered the biggest health care cuts in U.S. history.

#CareNotCuts #ProtectConsumers

Premium Tax Credits make health care affordable for 20M+ people. But they could soon expire & millions won’t be able to get care.

Congress must make health care tax credits permanent & repeal the recent cuts. #ProtectConsumers commcat.io/467vrRn #CareNotCuts

One of the biggest lies spread by corporations is that consumers and workers voluntarily agree to #ForcedArbitration.

Most people don’t know a forced arbitration clause is part of their contract, and the contract is typically "take-it-or-leave-it." #FinePrintTraps #FairAct #ProtectConsumers
September 22, 2025 at 6:39 PM
The #FAIRAct would make sure arbitration is chosen, not forced. Consumers and workers should have the freedom to be heard when & where they want to be heard.

If Congress allows enhanced Premium Tax Credits (PTCs) to expire, families will lose coverage. Families will have to make the difficult decision to skip prescriptions & face rising #MedicalDebt.
