Black-owned businesses are denied small business loans at TWICE the rate of white firms — same credit profile. When approved, they get 48 cents for every dollar white firms receive. Capital is the engine of wealth. Without equal access, we work for others forever. Own the engine.

Former President Obama said he's "old enough to remember when a president wearing a tan suit was a major national controversy," referencing the backlash he faced when he wore a tan suit during a press briefing in 2014.
"And I know I look good in that suit," the former president said while campaigning for Democrats in Georgia on Wednesday.

First they stop paying credit cards
Then they stop paying their mortgages
Then we see more short sale and foreclosures

I am in Clayton County, Georgia and have been talking to older Black voters outside a polling place and ahead of this Obama rally and can confirm: older Black voters to a tee are FURIOUS about the Supreme Court killing the Voting Rights Act. This is the home of John Lewis, Hosea Williams and MLK Jr.

Georgia Gov. candidate @KeishaBottoms (D) on top priorities as governor: "We will fully fund education in Georgia. We will ensure every child has an opportunity to attend pre-K and we will raise teacher pay."

JUST IN: The US still has an inflation problem and it's getting worse again.
PCE Inflation rose to 3.6% in September. That's the highest since May.
Core PCE Inflation (excludes food and energy) ticked up to 3.1%. That's also the highest since May.
Bottom line: Inflation is back near a 3-year high. It's largely due to war in Iran, but there's legitimate concern that inflation is spreading beyond energy.

AI agents are reportedly taking unauthorized actions inside Americans’ bank accounts.
This is a red alert for our financial system. But what are the cops on the beat doing? Trump's regulators are gutting cybersecurity enforcement and firing staff, leaving Americans vulnerable.
Senate Banking ranking member Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is raising concerns that new policies from federal banking regulators will leave the financial system vulnerable to malicious cyberattacks enabled by sophisticated AI tools. news.bloomberglaw.com/bankin…

From Nike and Disney to GM, Cisco and American Express, major companies are slashing their workforces while millions of Americans are already struggling to afford housing, groceries and basic necessities.
These aren't just numbers on a spreadsheet. They're people's livelihoods, families' financial security and futures thrown into uncertainty.
