The GOP (Give Others Poverty) will continue raining down favors for the billionaires, while ordinary working folks like us, will pay more for everything. That's their plan. Complain loudly to you Republican members of Congress, if you ever see them again.

Canada just lowers them to $10!

So who can arrest them and how do they do it? Federal judges, marshals, military leaders: anyone who has sworn to uphold the Constitution and is in a position to do so. It's a risk but we have to unite to back them. Bernie Sanders would lead us. Impeach this whole administration then prosecute.

Family: Where Life Begins and Love Never Ends…" "…even when they drive you crazy, you wouldn’t trade them for the world (…okay, maybe for five minutes of peace, but still!)." ❤️😂

They don’t care… they never have

It passed the Senate this week - need to call the Representatives now!!

Tell the Red Hats.

😡

I'm sure no MAGA would ever have a bank overdraft. (Sarcasm)

They’ll just take it out on the poor bank teller while they vote for the people who are actually screwing them. Dumb as dirt.

Wonder if there are calls coming approving this. They are acting on UNPOPULAR policies!

Is it not true that it already passed?

I wish trump and his government would keep their hands out of my wallet. I worked hard for that money and it's mine not his.

📌

My senator held a townhall this week and planted questions so he can spew gop talking points and the other says he’s a democrat but votes as a republican. I’ve written to them multiple times and have gotten ridiculous responses

Like this? Same form letter for every concern I write/email him about…

Yep just like that

I have received 7 letters like this… and I’m supposedly paying this man’s salary…

It’s infuriating. I don’t ever remember being this angry every single day in my 65 years than I am with cheater trump in the WH

Yes it is! Moreno was just ignoring everyone - until we got too loud. So now he sends out a form letter. Sad thing is that we could have had Sherrod… and Ohioans are really stupid.

My state senator sends me back an email that mimics what ever the issue is and he will consider it. He is a dem and I am not impressed.

I don’t think we’re impressed with any of our representatives… and while I would like to see all of the Repugs removed/not elected again in 2026 or 2028, I think some of the Democrats need to be gone as well - and then term limits.

Keep hounding your representatives and boldly go where no one has gone before. ✊🏼

The attacks on ordinary people are incessant aren't they??!

The no tax on tips cabal doing their part to keep people poor.

Rolling back those fees was a lifesaver. I remember when I got $90 in overdraft fees for a $2 shortfall. I live paycheck to paycheck so that was a disaster.

I told Hickenlooper that if someone overdrafts, it’s likely because they were trying to pay a bill or feed their family, not because they’re buying a boat or second house. The last thing someone who’s already struggling needs, is exorbitant fees.

These fees primarily punish lower income people, ask me how I know.

The CFPB was in the process of limiting late fees and possibly interest on credit cards. Would have been great for consumers but now this administration is obsessed with letting companies do what they want.

Un-fucking-real! 🤦‍♂️🤯💀

Why? Every time I call, they say to leave my name and number and they'll call me back. They don't!!

48% of Americans approve of trump so

It already happened. They voted last night. www.politico.com/live-updates...

They are getting their greedy hands in, b4 we mamage to impeach Trump, and throw out the whole evil ship of fools. Let's her goods on Vance, too! There has to be something shady in his past....

The 5 calls app is great to make sure you address all the issues you want and they have a script you can use if you want. I like it because you can see who you have called about what. Make sure you call separately for each issue. 5calls.org

5Calls is the best thing ever 5calls.org

Agree!! I use it almost everyday!

Maybe @randyrainbow.bsky.social can write a song that'll make it easy to remember?

It would be nice if anyone of them cared what we think about it, but it's clear that they don't.

They care about staying in power and if enough people show they are engaged and enraged, it will make their future if they DON’Tstand up for us, painfully clear. If only a few people speak out, they’ll believe there will be no repercussions because clearly no one cares.

SMOKE THAT NUMBER.

Ah the rich trying to nickle and dime the poor. Tale as old as time.

Overdraft fees should be illegal. Credit card interest rates should be capped at 9.99% Banks can go cry about it.

Those cowardly bastards Omar’s worthless

And so remind me again how trump and GOP are helping the American people?

bsky.app/profile/ther...

I emailed it and they said they were not pete hegseth but i choose not to believe it. I asked if i could buy one of those new Fuck 47s. If you didnt know, They are naming our new fighter planes f47s after trump. They responded self pickup or drone delivery...

Same.

Republicans are the actual elitists

Smile and dial. Call em’ all! Don’t stop until you have the full set of letters! They always say they want to hear from you… Here are the office numbers for the various senators.

You can't even leave voicemail at Gary Peters' office. He's checked out. Extremely disappointed in him.

Who has vetted these lists?

Hasn't the vote already happened and they voted to eliminate the limit?

Yes. Keep calling. Political pressure, like wind and water, are most effective over time.

👏

Sure, keep calling, but it's been removed and the likelihood it's added back during this congressional term is pretty nil. There's a saying about that, but I can't put my finger on it.

People need to pay attention to this!!

My charge to the Dems in the Senate: FILIBUSTER EVERY SINGLE THING PROPOSED BY MAGA!

They voted to allow banks to charge what ever they want! So beware and forewarned! It passed!

Put the Congressional switchboard number in your phone: 202-224-3121

I was in line behind a college kid that had driven through Jack n The Box, put $10. worth of gas in his car and made one other minor purchase and was now told he owed $75. in bank fees for purchases of under $20. He was literally crying at the teller’s window!

My senator sent me a bullshit MAGA form letter that caught fire after reading. He’s too busy selling out our Montana parks! The other asswipe was too busy counting his money to respond and selling our parks! Great pair!

It’s ok I’m sure Schumer is all over it. Yeah.

MAGA BOOBS ARE CHEERING IT ON.

Too late

I'll say it again and again, they want us all dead. Poor and dead.

I think that in addition to ensuring working class/low income people pay fewer taxes, we have to focus on simplifying their lives. Make government programs easy to apply for, simplify tax code, offer assistance to small business and stop big banks and corporations from making billions from bs fees

Wth

The billionaire class 1: Hates you viscerally and will make you suffer and die if it makes them even 2 more cents 2: Has ironclad control over the majority party and most of the minority party in Congress

Wild that this still needs explaining, I respect you for still being willing to explain it.

It is on speed dial at this point.

It’s now beyond just grifting, they’re actively trying to break us to put us in a position of begging for help. So incredibly disgusting… and predictable. I simply cannot believe how many people made, and just let, this happen.

If their voicemail is full go around it by using these numbers and email to their political directors download.aaslh.org/Legislative+...

George- respectfully: they don’t give a fuck. We have ourselves now. Time to face reality.

Keep making phone calls! Keep writing emails! Keep boycotting! March! All of us together can make a difference! Demand ACTION!

I just left messages for Ricketts and Fisher!

Love!

It does zero good to let our senators know anything about how we feel. It is apparent at this point that they will do zero to protect us. We just need to tell banks to fuck off and quit using them, and quit paying their fees. We are on our own out here.

☝️ THIS. RIGHT. THE. FUCK. HERE! Politicians haven't given a shit about us in decades. While there may be a few left with morals, the majority, on both sides, don't give a shit what their constituants needs are.

🤔not everything is black and white… that phone line is a pulse…. For the American people It takes 5 mins …I know it’s annoying. I think our country and world are worth it. I’m not saying I disagree with you. They live or at least have a home in these states. 🙏

I appreciate someone else saying this. I’ve sent quite a few letters to my representatives in Washington, and all I’ve ever gotten back was “I got elected on being a republican, I’m not about to stop.” These people won’t listen to us because they’re not beholden to us

Please sign up if you haven't yet: Generalstrikeus.com We need to expedite this møvemént, reach 3mil to start. We need to get cohesive and act with more urgency. Please spread the word.

This is not the time for the attitude "Chose your battles" Every vote is important. Democrats and independants must vote NO!

I read they passed it.

And don't forget- bsky.app/profile/jess...

My senators are dems and they are absolutely not listening to us

I know, I'm having the same problem. But, I keep calling everyday! Keep the pressure on!!!!!! 5calls.org

I have the app - it’s tiring - they give no fucks - they are $$$$

thirdact.org/act/handsoff/

indivisible.org

Yep. I get it. All I ever get is voicemail. But I refuse to give up. Is there an Indivisible group in your area? They have some great resources. Not to mention the marches on April 5th. Hang in there, you're not alone.

Grrrrrr. They hate us.

Remember when we had good leadership?

I love that were just getting started. Fuck.

Dear God, our hope for a free and fair democracy is dead.

Why does it seem like the entire GOP is dead set on making life as difficult as possible for as many people as possible? Seriously, I'd love for a journalist with access to all that question. Or maybe a citizen at a town hall.

If I were to guess, unhappy, broke people are easier to manipulate > see 1930's Germany.

Or just check the audience of Fox "News" on any given night.

Yeah, fuck. It's pretty pathetic they suckered >77 million people into voting for a grifter felon who gives zero fucks about the rights they all scream about. But, here we are.

In my opinion, representatives are supposed to work for their constitutents, and to use the power of the government to aid constituents, not to drain money from people to corporations.

GDI, those people (r's) are the enemy. They are also cowards.

Here. Even easier. #5calls will get you there fast 5calls.org/issue/overdr...

Why! Are the democrats going to get some cojones?

Don't Care I call Email Every day Every week.o this now. Schiff knows my natas I call so much. Nazi Russian Nation Untouchable and they know it

Do Rs have even a single position that is popular with literally anyone whose net worth is less than a billion dollars? I know, there's a surfeit of idiots who don't know any R policy positions. But, if they actually found out what their reps really thought and did, they'd never vote R again.

Done. Thanks for the reminder.

Too bad they only listen to money…

Personally I think they only pay attention if you are a billionaire that will open a factory in their state.

“Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that” What’s the point? They literally DO NOT CARE. A much better option would be to join together in large numbers and vote them out. I wonder when the penny will drop that right wing policies and politicians are NOT for ordinary people…

A few things to discuss…

theplotagainstamerica.com

www.mind-war.com/p/reorganiza...

They already do know how we feel about this! Making a phone call is not what's going to magically make this go away!

that is some colossal bs goin on there. Another sign that Tells you who controls these guys and it isn’t working class folks. Hasnt been for a long time but becoming more obvious every day

Thanks! Pete

Are the Democrats going to filibuster this one or are they going to vote with the Republicans?

There was a rule on this vote that prevented it from being filibustered. It passed this morning.

Thanks Pete!

Thank you for the encouragement, George! One note: save yourself time in the long term and look up your Senators' individual phone numbers just once (DC or a local state office). Put it in your phone under "politician" along with other reps' numbers. Each call will take less time -- it adds up!

I hope the GOP if they vote for it get raped by overdraft fees. They wouldn’t cause money isn’t a problem for them but still I can hope

Cue Risk's "And We Don't Care".

I thought it already passed in the Senate.

Guess it's finally time to get the fuck out of wells fargo and into a credit union. No way this doesn't pass when basically all of government serves capital

Thanks for the heads up...she says as she calls her state and federal reps again 😉

It's going to hurt starving students who're working 2-4 jobs, going to college & not paying attention to their checkbook. I should know becuz I was one of them. I've had years of overdraft fees that the Banks stole where they dipped into my savings to pay for the overdraft & it was perpetual. 🤬

Yep.

i think we can update this with the extra 4T deficit just passed by trump 2.0

How very republican. Screw the people who have the least and give more to those who steal it all.

youtu.be/uWw6dvyUtsk?...

📌

What good will it do mine are schumer and Gilligan's.

Hey @meiselasb.bsky.social did this slip past you @schumer.senate.gov did you think Americans would like to know? BTW I'm switching Parties Until Democrats learn to represent like @sanders.senate.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov and others like them

Yay, I complained to my Senator about overdraft fees WHILE he was off busy helping to destroy US democracy, fair election systems, social security, healthcare, jobs, & turning our allies into enemies. Go me. You REALLY think they give a shit about your phone calls anymore? THEY OWN THE ELECTIONS.

If everything you’re doing is causing everyday Americans hardship there’s not one thing that these people have done to improve our lives only make it harder at what point don’t we say that they are the enemy

This is what the 805 billionaires are doing to ordinary citizens, FFS either stand up to this or lose everything! Once it’s gone it ain’t coming back.

Put these Numbers in your phone only takes a second ! Congressional switchboard, 202-224-3121 Then use them, don’t underestimate showing up!

Didn’t they already vote yes 52-48, with only Josh Hawley joining the Dems to vote no? Make Banking Great Again! Who cares about the American voter?

This will just make people not want to use banks 🙄

We need Pete 2028 he needs to run and I think he should split from the Democrats and the Republicans we need a third party now is the time I am serious everybody is so split all over the place now is the time

Thanks, George. Thanks, Pete.

Sloe Joe didn’t have a banking crisis and go bale the banks out so the banks either had to improve services or find another way to increase profits. Raising the overdraft fees is a quick and very cheep mechanism to increase profits without doing much of anything. I think the Bankers like Trump!

Biden capped these horrible fees!

If he did, I never saw it...

Uhh, that's what this whole post is about > the senate voting to REMOVE the cap that's CURRENTLY in place.

Just another reason for the 🍊💩🤡 to hate it.

In TN they’re pushing through legislation to allow predatory lenders to charge more than 30% interest.

They aren't listening. And Democrats like @fetterman.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social will vote YES with Republicans to stay on brand.

Would be a shame if there was a run on the banks that triggers a 2nd great depression. Donnalds depression we can call it.

Too bad neither of my senators ever have a human answer their phones. All you can do is leave a voicemail.

The GOP never miss a chance to hurt US citizens. Horrid!

That's why I use the bank as a clearing house. Only leave enough to keep the account open. Cash is king and I'm on the thrown. Fuck em.

MAGA tyrants: wanting Americans to bleed economically a buck at a time.

What is Pam Bondis #?

I'll get on the horn to McConnell and Paul right away. Oh. Never mind. Living in Kentucky can be so damn depressing.

📌

Move your money to a credit union if you can. Fuck the big greedy banks!

Only big business matters now in the US!! Us citizens? Trump/GQP doesn’t give a damn!!

It’s a better time to vote them out of office at every turn.

Thank you George!

Republicans don't give a damn about the American people...they want a country of slaves...looks like there on their way to making it happen....Say goodbye to Freedom America!

They simply don't care.

Yay finally the alt text 💚

😡😡😡

5calls.org

For those interested in learning more about the bill: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst don't give a flying fuck for us here in Iowa

Write and call them constantly and tell them we are voting them out!!!!

I remember when Chuck donated a ham at Christmas time a few years ago and boasted about it. Everyone figured he got it for free.

Nope. Chuckles and Ernst say one thing and do the opposite. That should not impede your desire to keep telling them what YOU think. They are SUPPOSED to work FOR YOU. Call, send postcards, email, protest. Demand accountability now, because next week might be too late.

They NEVER did.

Do you think that the people who profit from this, politicians, care?

Let’s withdraw all are money and see what happens.

Quit supporting Wall Street. Join your local credit union. I am a retired corporate banker!

My wife and I have been members of our local Credit Union for almost 20 years and have enjoyed their services and the personal touches they bring to our banking. We haven’t ever regretted changing from the “Big Banks”.

I did in 2015. Very happy I did. My CU now pays me each month for the money I have in the account. I get the services of a retail big bank, some for free. I love my Credit Union!

I’ve been thinking about this since the election

Yep.

Actually I was planning to switch to a credit union but I do actually think the payless pol pot broke the FDIC

Member-owned credit unions are the way to go.

That’s good thinking.✊

Desperately trying to find community support 🥺🙏🏾❤️‍🩹

They don't care. This is their big coup attempt. They are trying to instill a Corperate Police State. We must strike until the corporations go bankrupt. Or we will become slaves.

If you can, pay off your overdraft ASAP. It’s s 1 of the most expensive ways to borrow. Any -ve balance is the bank’s money you’re using NOT yours. Either you pay for the privilege or they can take your overdraft off you at ANYTIME. Expect interest to increase if it hasn’t already.

That new law should prevent people from bouncing checks

I'd get arrested if I told them what I thought.

It's like the GOP wants there to be guillotines

Since you're giving out numbers George, here's a number you can talk to a grunt and get your opinion heard for Hegseth: Dept of Defense Hegseth: 703-692-7100 Please ask him if pertinent info regarding time and location of bombing a country is not classified, what would be?

They are getting ready for the crash. The dollar is a joke outside of these borders. It went away with everything else. Pay attention to not paying your bills. They want your cash.

Well, all my calling did sh*t They passed it through easily I gotta get out of this place

accountable.us/issues/econo...

All ☝️ is this one of things we are being distracted from cause #signalgate is indeed a bright shiny object ? 🪩

What was the outcome? I have zero faith we can vote our way out of this, when everyone voting for it is a greedy malignant narcissist silver tongued lizard.

then i’ll just not have a bank account i guess? they already charge me fees out the wazoo

Yea if they can't figure out what we think of it then they are out of touch and need to be primaried. Senator is no longer a "Learn on the job" position.

The list of concerns for our representatives is overwhelmingly long. Keep calling!!!

📌

Seriously, who voted for this?

WHY???

Too late, George www.politico.com/live-updates...

Lets Do This. Because they underestimate us. It doesn't take a rocket scientist. That's their excuse.

Companies do their best to force you to pay electronically. It’s easy to lose track of money coming out of accounts, especially seniors. The banks are going to make a lot of $ on overdraft fees.

The country is never going to recover from this presidency

I fear the USA’s reputation will not recover - maybe for generations

Yet another reason why Canada is not going to join the US

Oh there’s a shit ton of reasons why that would never happen…ever, eh?

I know, it is just one more example of why Canadians do not want to be occupied by the Americans. Seems Canadians like freedom and liberty and the Americans are very happy to lose theirs

We like being Canadian. And now we’re revelling in it and actively finding more Canadian products etc and using way less American ones. This will continue.

I suspect it will given that it will be almost 4 years before the end of the Trump regime and other than Danielle Smith I know of no Canadians that like Trump

It’s at the top of the list in my contacts.

They voted to end bank robbery thru overdraft fees

Done!

Or yannow...someone with some cache and name recognition could punch some nazis in the nose and make an old woman in Tennessee prouder

Does MAGAt understand who is actually screwing them yet? Not the brightest bunch.

I was able to leave a message for Schiff's Office but Padilla's office does not have a voicemail and I will have to call them back during business hours in DC tomorrow

Meanwhile, here in Canada: www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Hey, Pete, that would have been an excellent opportunity to propose supporting local credit unions. Seriously, people, if you are still using Wells Fargo et al, just stop it.

Let the record show that President Biden wanted to lower those fees.

I just read that this overdraft bill just passed. Say good bye to fee limits..

Write to your congressman and your senator, ask for a response from their office, somebody should call and you will have a direct line. Put it on Auto dial. Keep it forever or until the next election

Oh, my senators are all rich white men, they won't do anything about it for I am a California Democrat. It isn't like we have Boxer, Feinstein standing up and fighting for us. RIP Queen Diane @schiff.senate.gov

Yup fuck that shit I hate when I get money taken out for it just existing like WTF

AUGHHHHHH

This! Is the type of intel we need to fight! Keep it up!

They are already too fucking high as it is!

Because the GOP could care less about any one other than themselves. They even laugh at their own base.

They actually COULDN’T care less. 👌🏼

Canadian liberal gov’t just put through legislation to LIMIT overdraft & NSF fees (in most cases that means HUGE reduction in current bank fees). Difference between gov’t that actually represents the CITIZENS Verses one that represents CORPORATIONS (&billionaire Oligarchs) couldn’t be more stark.🤨

If it doesn't affect billionaires, repubs DO NOT CARE. They do NOTHING for the people.

The vote was today in the Senate. The bill passed Now it goes to the House. Call your representatives. The number listed above is the US Capitol switchboard. www.politico.com/live-updates...

now searching for which "Democrats" voted for this...

When you find out, please share…

Welp. No Ds at least The vote was largely along party lines, with 52 Republicans voting in favor and 45 Democrats voting against the repeal. No Democratic senators voted in favor of the repeal. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri voted against the repeal, joining the Democratic opposition.

This is all to give 2 trillion in tax cuts to themselves!

Yes call your congressman who are to chicken shit to show up for town halls - and yeah they all listen to their constituents! March in the dn streets - do a full on country strike like they do in France - dump manure on their cars and houses - not their lawns as it might be good there

They did it anyway, Republicans are for the rich, and corporations. This isn't new. I figured this crap out when Reagan was I office...

Thank you, George! Love you!

#PeteButtigieg2028

Schumer will vote for this.

The Senate voted last night. The roll call vote has not yet been published. He voted no on the motion to proceed to the vote.

I was joking, lol.

And, the regime is trying to now tax credit unions that up until now, weren't taxed.

would love to get through on the phone, even once maybe @durbin.senate.gov has staff who monitor BlueSky? Hey Dick, do your job and protect consumers!

Durbin is a bit too slippery for me...

Call on a daily basis and ask your friends to do the same!!!!

Overdraft fees make me PUKE! #Resist #TeamLaPeen #GoAunTayMaxineStyleWILD

Find a financial institution that looks at you the way Pete Buttigieg looks at function government.

JFC. Dems introduce a bill to cap credit card interest rates at 10% and this is the response? GOP really hates people who are struggling. And that’s all of us right now!

The problem is that their voters are cheering this

Wait until the ovens are built. Then they’ll get really happy.

MAGATs voted for this! The fat orange one told them it will hurt for a little while! trump regime is looking to overturn a Biden-era rule limiting major banks’ ability to penalize customers with $5. overdraft fees, a reversal that has major banking associations salivating at the

I don't believe that was ever enacted, unfortunately. I always get charged $32. It's expensive to be poor...

mouth for the $30.00..trump regime endorsed the legislation on Monday, with Office of Management and Budget Director and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Interim Director Russ Vought writing on X that he was “grateful” that the representatives had introduced legislation overturning the rule.

The fat orange guy just can't stop helping MAGATs get everything they wanted... www.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

accountable.us/issues/econo...

jfc

He needs to go as do all the other republicans.

Right now they are...The Dems have them on the run...Dems have won every race so far this year! MAGA are waking up to see that the fat orange thing they voted for it really going to kill everyone, them included. This is why these Town Hall Meeting are working...the

questions asked are what everyone D or R want to know, and from the Dems , they get the truth.. Keep it up Dems, we are going to win those 2 seats in FL! In pre voting , Dems are almost double what MAGA are ! Keep it up, this is the only way we can stop these ppl!

That’s why he stole Stefanik’s dream job right out of her “picking out drapes” hands

Yet people keep voting these fvckheads in. Truly remarkable how people vote against their own interests. 😷🤡

In lieu of defending their constituents, they chip away at their protections. Of course those struggling will bare the brunt- but that is what they want. But sure give Elon 2B in new contracts this year.

Canada just limited bank fees to $10.00. Just sayin'

It was approved by the Senate, now requires the House

The bill only goes back to the House if there are changes to the bill. It originated in the House.

I also did call my representative Weasley Hunt

He is another grifter. Pitiful. We’ve got to primary these greedy people.
