In September, I asked the CEOs of @JPMorgan and @WellsFargo why they were sponsors of the State Financial Officers Foundation (@SFOF_States) — an organization that is driving financial risk and spreading misinformation about JPM and Wells Fargo.

THREAD 🧵1/ SFOF may have a neutral-sounding name, but the work they've done over the last year is harmful, and it's bizarre that big banks would be complicit in boycotting climate-related financial risk management that harms their business models. 2/

After reading, in full, the House Intelligence Report, House Judiciary Report, the Articles of Impeachment, and hearing from constituents, I have decided to take the solemn step to vote to impeach the President for abusing the powers of his office for his own personal gain.
