We applaud @SenWarren & @WhipClyburn's legislation to cancel student debt. Here's our piece from back in April about the idea. Everyone would benefit from the debt cancellation, whether they have student loans or not: medium.com/@RealBankRefor… #CancelMyDebt

The @CFPB’s proposed rule also allows debt collectors to send you UNLIMITED text messages! UNLIMITED emails! UNLIMITED Facebook messages! Are you angry yet? Send the @CFPB a comment about this ridiculous proposal: actionnetwork.org/letters/protec…

The proposed @CFPB rule allows unscrupulous debt collectors to trick people into paying debt that is past the statute of limitations -- more plainly: #ZombieDebt! Debt that is too old for collectors to sue you over. actionnetwork.org/letters/protec…

We were on the Hill today to warn legislators about the new @CFPB proposal on debt collection. One of the many terrible things in the rule proposal is it could unleash a Zombie Debt Apocalypse on consumers. What’s #ZombieDebt? We're glad you asked! actionnetwork.org/letters/protec…

Equally as disappointed to hear that she may have lied to Congress to cover up the ways the Department helped these bad actors continue to lie to students to conceal the fact that Argosy campuses lost their accreditation statuses.

Sickened to learn that the Department may have been in on the scam and may be responsible for tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds paid to con artists—con artists so confident in their scams that they made up a jingle about having the Department in their pocket. pic.twitter.com/bJfOBYZRpV

Proud to have helped bring this issue to light & to work with @EdLaborCmte to hold @usedgov responsible for the slimy conduct of some of its top officials, particularly Diane Auer Jones, a former executive and lobbyist for for-profit colleges. (THREAD) nytimes.com/2019/07/23/us/…

Private equity firms want you to believe you’re not smart enough to understand their business model. But it's pretty simple: take over companies & loot 'em.
And I’ve got a bill with @SenatorBaldwin, @SenSherrodBrown, @RepMarkPocan & @RepJayapal to fix it. #StopWallStreetLooting pic.twitter.com/wbz16jKpTG

We couldn’t agree more, @CongressmanRaja! Americans, like Billie, can’t afford to spin “like a hamster” in a payday loan debt spiral while the @CFPB tries to gut consumer protections to satisfy loan shark friends.
