“With Democrats poised to regain much of their Washington muscle, it’s ever more urgent to notice how they abused that power so recently. Consider Wednesday’s blockbuster report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency outlining how nine big banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, used purely political criteria to deny services to perfectly lawful consumers — when getting ‘debanked’ is often a financial death sentence. And the debankers regularly relied on the hatemongering-for-profit Southern Poverty Law Center as an authority for who to ban. This was no small abuse: The OCC investigation covered more than 100,000 consumer complaints and 50,000 internal bank documents. A JPMorgan payment platform booted merchants with ‘MAGA’ and ‘America First’ in their profiles — and another for working with a group whose ‘crime’ was that a member accurately described the Black Lives Matter movement as Marxist.” (10/17/26)
