  UPDATE: 5 centrist Democrats have effectively sank a major progressive nominee, following a major red-baiting campaign by the GOP & big opposition from the banking industry. https://twitter.com/...

  Kind of telling how neither Tester, Warner, Sinema, Hickenlooper, nor Kelly will publicly explain exactly how their vision of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency differs from Omarova's. Gosh, it's almost like they're just taking instructions from bank lobbyists. 🤔 https…

  Disgusting. The notion that centrist Dems are more in touch with regular Americans than the left is the biggest fraud going. If there's one thing we know about regular folk these days, it's that they don't want anyone being too hard on big banks. https://www.axios.com/...

  Tester (D-Mont.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) oppose Omarova. Biden's most extreme nominee does down in committee. Congrats to @PatToomey on a meticulous, fact-based, and apparently successful effort to stop this dangerous nominee. https://www.axios.com/...

  Omarova wanted to ban private deposit accounts, nationalize the banking industry and make oil and gas firms go bankrupt yet they're trying to make it seem like objections to her nomination are racist https://twitter.com/...

  Republicans have attacked the Kazakh-born nominee Saule Omarova in remarkably personal terms, with Sen. John Kennedy asking whether he should call the native of the former Soviet Union “professor” or “comrade.” https://www.axios.com/...
