I thought you introduced legislation, but you got 23 or so Senators to sign a letter. There are 100 Senators. Only 23 of them have constituents in rural areas who might not have access to banks if this CDFI destruction happens? What about CFPB? Consumers have no protections from bank fraud?

jamesmpope.bsky.social•19 days ago

Good job! Speaking of rural interests, according to Snopes, JD Vance funded AcreTrader, which facilitates selling distressed farms to foreign investors. Making farmers sharecroppers of
Russian Oligarchs again! This administration’s policies are aimed at destroying farms. Can you help with that?

A weak effort at closing the barn door after all the horses are running wild through the fields. Embarrassing. Also nice work on reducing oversight on crypto so drug dealers, money launderers and corrupt politicians can benefit.

Have your colleagues across the aisle woken up to the fact DJT wants to steal EVERYONE'S power, not just Democrats?

vickiecarey.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank you for doing something, but you wrote a letter? We can write letters. You're in the Senate. Where's the legislation to protect these institutions? To reaffirm the Control of Congress over the nation's purse? On oversight?
Come on Senator, we need substantial efforts.

We must strike as a nation. Democracy depends on it. When we refuse to work, oligarchs can’t make money. Once enough sign, we strike.

Subpoena Musk
Hit him hard with criminal evidence
And then arrest him

gglocher.bsky.social•19 days ago

What we really want to hear is Sen Mike Crapo and you are leading a broad bipartisan coalition to IMPEACH AND REMOVE the President!

Save our democracy!!

cliffwgilmore.bsky.social•19 days ago

This is good. Thank you. What is your strategy to unify the party (or launch a new one) and give enough R legislators room to get beyond denial and join in protecting and exercising your Constitutional legislative duties to check the Executive? The Judiciary can’t do it alone. Call for action.

embracedoubt.bsky.social•19 days ago

Show some courage; replace Schumer with an actual leader who will stand up to Trump.

courtneywhite11.bsky.social•19 days ago

Can you please stand with ALL of congress and reform THREE COEQUAL branches of our government? This has all gone on long enough.

halojones2000.bsky.social•19 days ago

I really am shocked at the Possum behavior of Democrats.
Who knew they’d roll over dead so quickly.

I have to say, no way that if the roles were reversed that Republicans would have quietly rolled over.

Thank goodness for AOC and Bernie Sanders. The only ones worth a damn!

deejargon.bsky.social•18 days ago

With all due respect, it appears that your letter is a reaction to trump’s ongoing effort to shut down & fire more civil employees in another federal agency. Partnering w/ Mike Crapo might help avoid more of the same but my gut tells me that trump could care less abt “underserved communities.”

bbagby.bsky.social•18 days ago

Okay. Meanwhile no comment on "Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos even though that order will make everyone's personal data shareable and abusable by every government agency. "
I guess you decided "signaling" was more important than doing anything.

pjw71.bsky.social•19 days ago

THE ONLY THING THE WHITE HOUSE IS GOING TO DO IS WIPE THEIR TAILS WITH YOUR LETTER.

REMOVE SCHUMER!!!

logentry.bsky.social•19 days ago

oh wow, you wrote a letter! That'll teach 'em!

adawehi.bsky.social•18 days ago

if politicians really cared about "the people" they would have permanently tied minimum wage to the cost of living which would have put an end to this class war bullshit a long time ago. feeding your own ego is not service ....

stepmomcoach.bsky.social•19 days ago

Please 🥺, if you read your messages, help the Democrats create a PLAN AND take actions against this fascist government. It's destroying us.

jedtalk.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank you for this. I wish more people knew about CDFIs, how they might personally benefit from using them, and the role they play in creating more equitable economic opportunities for all.

CDFIs are targeted bc they are antithetical to big banks and profit-driven lending and banking decisions.

saraphudson.bsky.social•19 days ago

A letter? Doesn't really meet the moment.

m4tr.bsky.social•19 days ago

Senator Warner, please tell your office to quit spamming people like my family for donations while we are enduring job losses. The Democrats are completely tone deaf. Do you want my money? Show me some real leadership and defiance. Kamala did the exact same thing after raising $1 billion. #ToneDeaf

kat5501.bsky.social•19 days ago

@markwarner.bsky.social

I get the feeling you are either 1) not understanding what is happening in the world or 2) just ignoring it, hoping it will all go away.

The lack of banking abilities is WAY down the list of priorities!

brianwheeler9.bsky.social•19 days ago

Why are you working with the party in power? Let them feel the pain from the party that controls the House, the Senate, the White House, and the Supreme Court.

MAKE THEM OWN IT

faithpeacelove.bsky.social•19 days ago

I do want to thank you Senator Warner , Senator Kane and Representative Beyers for speaking and taking action for the people.

faithpeacelove.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank God there is one Republican who cares about those he represents and the country.

djshumate.bsky.social•19 days ago

I would like you to speak to the WH & Pentagon plan to read Elon Musk into classified defense protocols in regard to China, especially in light of Musk’s economic ties with the Chinese Government.

NO SUPPORT, NO MONEY, NO NOTHING FOR @democrats.org UNTIL @schumer.senate.gov IS GONE! Get someone with actual skills into leadership!

This is why I'm tired of hearing about bipartisanship.

Say you're working together to do something to do the correct thing instead.

Why aren't Dems creating "Empty Chair Town Halls" in Florida's US House 1st and 6th Districts to flip them blue?
Their special elections are Tuesday. Go!

Thank you. My daughter works for a CDFI.

imhodag1964.bsky.social•19 days ago

First, thank you for the work you do and the efforts being made to stop Trump/Musk.
Trump seems to have embraced authoritarianism. What is the guarantee he will even pay attention to Congress on this matter? He refuses to abide by decisions from the judicial branch. He rejects checks on his power.

trickledownfailed.bsky.social•19 days ago

👉WE CAN’T TRUST CHUCK SCHUMER: RESIGN‼️

TOUGH TO FIGHT TRUMP WHEN CHUCK IS A TURNCOAT. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Schumer:

✅CR flip-flop: THE WORST
✅Democracy NOT at risk/ AT RISK
✅filibuster
✅repatriation holiday/corp. tax cheats
✅TikTok
✅Puerto Rico statehood
✅Felon Trump border wall

vman29397.bsky.social•19 days ago

How dare you mention puerto rican statehood on a day of moruning for independence supporters.
