This deal is good for Ukraine and good for American workers, and will spur more private sector investment in Ukraine.

This is the kind of creative solution we need to support the Ukrainian people as they defend themselves against Russia's brutal invasion.

Churches, synagogues, and other religious orgs want to put their faith into action by developing housing on land they already own.

Sherrod Brown's YIGBY Act will help them cut through red tape to lower housing costs and expand options for families.

Secretary Fudge has always understood that housing is at the center of people’s lives.

Thank you Secretary Marcia L. Fudge for working to lower costs for first-time homebuyers, fight housing discrimination, and uplift Department of Housing and Urban Development’s mission in every community across our country.

A year later, the executives of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic have faced zero accountability for their part in their banks' failures.

Our bipartisan RECOUP Act passed committee 21 to 2 – it's time for Congress to finish the job and pass it into law.

Affordable housing is a top concern in California, which has some of the highest costs of housing in the country. During today's Senate Banking and Housing Democrats hearing I asked Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell how the feds monetary policy is impacting the supply of affordable rentals.

High interest rates are raising housing costs higher and higher for families who were already facing a tough market with too few options and too high prices.

Americans today pay more for groceries than they have in 30 years.

And Ohioans are paying for corporations’ executive bonuses and stock buybacks every time they go to the grocery store.

High interest rates aren’t bringing down prices. They’re making housing more expensive, and hurting small businesses and workers, all while allowing corporate price-gouging to continue.

Credit card companies make over $14 billion every year in late fees, punishing people who struggle to make ends meet.

It’s the definition of kicking someone while they’re down, and a perfect example of why it’s so expensive to be poor in America.

Good move by President Biden.

The consumerfinance.gov announces that credit card companies must drop late fees from more than $30 to just $8.

A strong and independent CFPB means more money where it belongs—in your pocket.

Medical debt can hit anyone, at any time, without warning.

That shouldn't mean they get locked out of buying a car, getting a job, or renting a home.

The consumerfinance.gov is tackling medical debt to protect consumers.

As we close , we remember Dr. William Spriggs, a brilliant economist and public servant.

From teaching at Howard University to serving at U.S. Department of Labor to testifying in front of our Committee, Dr. Spriggs brought the lens of the Dignity of Work to everything he did.

I’ve spoken with Ohio families, local officials, and first responders whose lives have been devastated by the fentanyl crisis.

We must do all we can to stop this deadly drug from entering our communities — that includes our bipartisan effort that passed the Senate last week.

Federal Reserve officials have access to all kinds of inside information and their decisions affect the market. They should not be making economic policy while trading stocks on the side.

Their job is to serve the public, not their stock portfolios.

If you get scammed on Zelle, it’s not easy to report the theft and there's NO guarantee you'll ever get your money back.

Sherrod Brown, Senator Jack Reed, and Elizabeth Warren are pressing Zelle to protect consumers.
