THREAD—As the Chairman-designate of the Financial Services Subcommittee on @AppropsDems, I’ve seen how the #TrumpShutdown is creating chaos in our communities & economy.
That’s why I introduced legislation to reopen key agencies & alleviate the impacts on families & businesses.

Support for Small Businesses Stopped: During the
#TrumpShutdown,@SBAgov has completely halted its role in the federal contracting process, interfering with projects government wide, and has stopped approving loan assistance.Show this thread -
Securities Industry Regulator Closed: Nearly all SEC employees are furloughed, limiting the agency’s activities to process and approve filings. A prolonged
#TrumpShutdown will require companies to delay mergers, IPOs, and other actions, hindering economic activity.Show this thread -
Consumer Protection Watchdog Shuttered: Most services provided by the FTC are suspended under
#TrumpShutdown, including the National Do Not Call Registry, consumer complaint systems & identity theft reporting—as well as law enforcement access to FTC’s consumer complaints.Show this thread -
My bill—which is virtually identical to the Senate-passed legislation—rejects cuts to

Until bills start hitting Trumps desk not sure the legislature can be blameless during this shutdown. Both sides need to show leadership and compromise to put a bill on the desk that will be signed.
