For Americans like Darlene in NY, ACA enhanced premium tax credits can mean the difference between financial security and hardship. Congress must act now! #TrumpInflationCrisis #HealthCarePriceHike

With the increased work requirements and all the new paperwork, SNAP is going to be MORE costly for South Carolina to administer and increase the deficit.
Please vote no to the current spending bill @RepRalphNorman.

The @CFPB announced a new rule yesterday that puts a max on the amount that banks can charge on overdraft fees. These fees on average are $35 a day which seems minimal at first, but can spiral quickly over just a few days. The rule may save Americans around $5 billion a year.

CFPB’s overdraft rule will return $5 billion in excessive overdraft fees back into the pockets of consumers and their families. Stand with @CFPB towards a pathway for equitable banking practices #FinancialEquity

1 year ago, North Carolina became the 40th state to expand Medicaid. Now it’s our turn, South Carolina. Because getting health care - or going without - shouldn’t depend on the state you live in. #South4MedEx
