Trump campaigned on it.
Let’s cap credit card rates at 10%. Take action on affordable housing. Protect rural hospitals. End price gouging.
Democrats have the bills ready.
@SenWarren says now it’s up to Trump to work with us and get things done.

The 10% credit card rate cap was something Trump wanted on the 2024 campaign and brought it up again in January this year. It went nowhere in the GOP-led Congress, but the political environment has dramatically changed.
Great oped from @SenWarren which sounds like a @SenateBanking Chair who will bring a 10% credit card interest rate cap to a vote:

NEW: Sen. Ron Wyden’s Finance Committee staff intend to dig into JP Morgan’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, with a particular focus on the conduct of high ranking executives and their handling of the bank’s relationship with the disgraced financier, according to a source familiar with the committee’s thinking. A particular focus will be the role of Mary Erdoes, the Chief Executive Officer of JPMorganChase's Asset & Wealth Management line of business.

Melanie Huff was the kindest, most brilliant, and most patient — a lifeblood of @columbiajourn and a constant unwavering support for our students and community. She had incredible values, and fought for them in ways big and small, and it’s so hard for me to express just how much it meant to have her in your corner fighting the good fight. She was all of these things and also funny and delightful. She had this quiet way of accomplishing things. She is so, so loved, and I struggle to imagine CJS, or this world, without her. ❤️
The Columbia Journalism School community is deeply saddened by the passing of Dean of Students Melanie Greer Huff, BC ’86, TC ’95, a beloved colleague, leader and friend who spent nearly 40 years at the J-School.

Ways and Means had 19 D members to start this Congress. At most, 13 will return and they'll add a bunch of seats. That's a lot of new tax writers.

Invokes Ann Richards, legend in Texas dem politics.
Tonight, I make a solemn promise to every single Texan. Whether you voted for me or Governor Abbott, or felt so betrayed by a broken politics that you did not vote at all.
Hear what Texas said today, loud and clear: Your government belongs to you. And as your governor, I will will be no special set of rules for the wealthy and powerful. No looking the other way when someone in my own party does wrong.
The trust you have placed in me tonight is not a blank check. It is a sacred responsibility. And I intend to earn it every single day.

Rep. Wagner's loss is especially a big blow for the GOP on that committee.
The House Financial Services Committee is on track to lose roughly half of its Republican members — some through retirements, but several who were voted out tonight. That includes multiple subcommittee chairs.
