Preventing cryptocurrency providers from repeating the crimes against low- and moderate-income residents of color traditional big banks have is critically important. That's why I'm proud to introduce the #STABLEAct with @RepChuyGarcia and @RepStephenLynch. tlaib.house.gov/media/press-re…
Especially amid the #COVID19 pandemic, their vulnerabilities could be exploited and obscured by bad actors looking to issue stablecoins, like other shadow money issuers in the past. The #STABLEAct combats that threat. newrepublic.com/article/157455…
.@RepStephenLynch and I previously led this letter to the @USOCC Brooks blasting the bureau’s unilateral actions in the digital financial activities space. While they have yet to respond, we know action is urgent. Our communities need the #STABLEAct protections now.

.@RepBonnie, @RepMarkTakano, and I just announced we will introduce the Preventing Auto Insurance Discrimination (PAID) Study Act, which mandates a @USGAO study on the disparate impacts of auto insurance discrimination. More here: tlaib.house.gov/media/press-re….
This is a follow-up to my and @RepBonnie's introduction of the #PAIDAct last year. Auto insurers have reaped benefits off the financial struggles of so many Americans for far too long—and it's only gotten worse amid the #COVID19 pandemic.
FACT: Auto insurance is rife with systemic racism. We must get the real world impact of auto insurance discrimination studied—and demonstrated—so we can finally get residents in #13thDistrictStrong and beyond the relief they deserve. consumerfed.org/press_release/…
While I have deep respect for India and its important relationship with the US, I condemn the revocation of #Article370 & #Article35A, the imposed comms blockade, suppression of life-saving medical care, and reports of widespread human rights violations in #Jammu and #Kashmir.
The communication blockade doesn’t just mean people cannot get in touch with their families, it also means shortages of medicine and an inability to receive medical care. nytimes.com/2019/08/14/tec…
And multiple reports indicate that over 3,000 people have been indefinitely detained without charges by the Indian government under the Public Safety Act, including children, lawyers, doctors, religious leaders, and opposition political leaders. washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…
