A “Great Deal” shouldn’t come with thousands of dollars in hidden fees.
We’re suing CarGurus for deceiving New Yorkers with misleading prices, distorted deal ratings, and an AI chatbot that helped sell the phony deals.

If a firm's AI customer-service chatbot gives false information, traps customers in doom loops, or fails to actually help, that firm may be violating the law.
A new brief from the Center for Law & the Economy's @stephtngu and @BorrowerJustice's Adam Teitelbaum explains the various laws that apply when businesses outsource customer service to AI chatbots.
This is the first in a series explaining how existing laws apply to AI: law-and-economy.law.columbia…

Today, the Trump regulators issued another report decrying the financial industry's practice of debanking, where someone's bank account is stripped from them. Ironically, they also shut down the agency that was in the middle of banning it.

A pay raise should help you get ahead. But what happens when debt payments eat up your gains?
NEW: The @washingtonpost reports on our research with @BorrowerJustice, which found that debt payments have risen 8x faster than real take-home pay since 2022: washingtonpost.com/business/…

In 1902, women on the Lower East Side organized a boycott when the price of kosher meat jumped 50%.
How do we build collective power when every consumer sees a different price—and every worker a different wage?
My thoughts, now in @thenation.

At @TCFdotorg, we've been talking about how Americans are trying to pay this week's high gas prices while ALSO still paying last week's gas prices, in the form of credit card debt. Today, we're releasing research on just how bad that phenomenon is. 1/

Drop everything and read @kennybauf's interview with Broadway influencer @ashleyhufford about Bill Pay the Musical, a one-night-only industrial from @tryramp.
This is may be the best thing we've ever published at IN DEBT (a @BorrowerJustice substack).

This piece by @EvanWasner explains so much about why the standard indicators of economic well-being are failing to capture Americans' financial pain

The harms workers face from data abuses aren't theoretical. These practices can impact wages, promotions, scheduling, discipline, and the ability to organize — real consequences for paychecks, opportunities, and job security.
With @TowardsJustice, our Senior Fellows @stephtngu @sethfrotman & @eriemeyer applaud @CalPrivacy's first-of-its-kind audit into gig platform worker data: towardsjustice.org/wp-conten…

The Mamdani Administration is suing two dental offices for pressuring patients into needless procedures and signing them up for high-cost loans without their knowledge.
Exploiting people in pain isn’t just shameful—it will get you sued.

Extremely timely piece from @sethfrotman and @kennybauf on the importance of private enforcement against corporate abuse.
The bottom line: Private enforcement saves taxpayer dollars and serves as a bulwark against corruption.
It is literally anti-fascist.

Federal courts have been a key obstacle to progressive economic policy. But Congress has dealt with this problem before.
At @Capitol_Forum ,
@sethfrotman & I show how a 90-year-old law keeping courts out of state tax issues is a blueprint for reining in fed courts generally.

"The core problem isn’t agency structure. It’s the deliberate effort by these agencies to deregulate wide swaths of the economy & strip away the protections that working people, consumers, & small businesses depend on."
NEW: How the Supreme Court became corporate America's strongest ally. From @nhegde, @millennial_debt, & @ewwilkins, for the Economic Populist.

Trump has purported to bring "independent" regulatory agencies under White House control.
Dems should resist the urge to reflexively restore independence, @sethfrotman and I contend in @DemJournal.
That system was broken long before Trump shattered it.

As I wrote a few months ago, the one through line in today’s decisions and the tariff decision is a desire to protect corporate interests. No other rationale comes close to accurately predicting the actions of the Roberts Court.
