Big Oil funds junk research that climate change isn’t real. Wall Street peddles sham studies that banking rules hurt the economy. And Amazon & Google pay for a think tank to say Big Tech isn't too big & too powerful.

This is thinly-disguised corruption. nytimes.com/2020/07/24/tec…
Here’s what you won’t read in Big Tech's bought-and-paid-for research: Amazon, Google, Facebook & Apple have too much power over our economy, society & democracy. They think they're too big to be held accountable. We need to break up Big Tech & stop mergers that kill competition.
My bill to #EndCorruptionNow forces anyone who submits a study to a regulator to disclose who’s paying for it. Sham studies should be thrown out. This is a nerdy but important way to stop Big Tech & other rich & powerful corporations from rigging the rules in their favor.

The federal eviction moratorium is gone. States are delivering their final CARES Act unemployment checks now. And months after the House passed another relief bill, the GOP still doesn’t have a real plan to help millions of Americans pay their rent or keep our economy afloat.
Let’s be clear how we got here. While Trump & Pence were bungling the COVID-19 response, Mitch McConnell refused for months to even entertain the idea of another relief bill. Now time's up & his caucus still can’t get on the same page on the bill they’ve been writing in secret.
For 30 million Americans out of work, expanded unemployment benefits have been a lifeline to stay above water. But they also cushioned the blow of this recession for everyone as families pumped the extra income right back into the economy. cnbc.com/2020/07/10/une…

Ten years ago today, I ran out of a hearing, jumped into @SenatorDurbin’s car, & we raced as fast as we could across town to watch President @BarackObama sign the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill into law. I'll never forget it – because that's how the @CFPB was born.
I talk & tweet about the @CFPB every chance I get because I'm proud of that new agency. It has handled more than 2 million complaints & returned billions back into the pockets of Americans cheated by big banks & financial institutions. That’s government that works for the people.
Things aren't easy at the @CFPB right now. @MickMulvaneyOMB & @CFPBDirector Kraninger gutted the office that fights lending discrimination & have given the green light for payday lenders to trap consumers in cycles of debt.

COVID-19 is surging and Dr. Fauci gave a catastrophic warning to me yesterday. Either @VP Pence doesn’t have the slightest comprehension of the outbreak, or he is deliberating trying to mislead the American people. He owes the American people answers. medium.com/@SenWarren/my-…
Dr. Fauci told me the US could see 100,000 new cases of COVID-19 per day if we don’t shift course. But rather than ramping up testing & contact tracing, securing our supply chain, & sending clear guidance to Americans, @VP Pence & the Trump admin declared victory over the virus.
Here's the reality: the White House ignored the threat of COVID-19 until it was too late to stop it, left states without the equipment to adequately fight it, did not do enough to work with states to contain it, and is now shirking its responsibility to continue to address it.
