Republicans just voted to keep screwing over working Americans — all to protect big bank profits.
The Biden-era CFPB passed a rule capping predatory overdraft fees at $5. That saved regular people $5 billion a year.

Every single Democrat voted to protect consumers.
Every single Republican voted to let banks keep robbing people who are struggling the most.
They chose billionaires over the 99% — again.

“A redraw of Ohio’s US Congressional district map will happen this year under the same politician-controlled process as before…but with plenty of insight from the past, voting rights advocates say.
“The congressional map #ohio has been using for the last 4yrs are up for a redraw due to a lack of bipartisan support when the map was passed by the legislature in 2022….If the map gets bipartisan support, they last for 10yrs.”
