When you walk into a bank, you should be able to open an account, withdraw money, and cash checks without fearing discrimination. Today, @SenSherrodBrown is reintroducing his bill to make sure everyone has equal and fair access to financial services. banking.senate.gov/newsroom/major

The state’s actions resulted in a denial of housing opportunities for Ms. Worthington. Now, if the state did this because of her gender, or race, or disability, that might be a violation of the Fair Housing Act.

Adrienne Worthington was detained for 10 days after a judge authorized her release. Spent Christmas & New Year’s in jail, separated from children & grandchildren. She fell behind on rent & lost her house. After release all charges dropped. But she remains unhoused to this day.

It is also a violation of the Fair Housing Act. If states are passing these types of ordinances, they are in violation of their certification to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing and their federal funds should be seized!

TN & MO have made being homeless & sleeping outside a FELONY. Cities in MO are prohibited from using fed $ to build permanent housing for unsheltered people - $ must be used to build temporary camps. Similar laws being considered elsewhere. This is madness.

A DFW woman was pulled over and ticketed for driving alone in the HOV lane. She's 34 weeks pregnant and tells the cop her unborn child counts as a passenger since Roe V. Wade was overturned. The state can't have it both ways, she argues.
