The meeting is the third time that Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown , D-Ohio, will hold an oversight hearing with the heads of the nation's biggest banks. Eight CEOs of the largest U.S. banks will face questioning at a Senate Banking Committee hearing in December, according to an announcement obtained by CNBC . "Part of that commitment is to hear directly from the biggest banks that hold too much power in the economy," he said. Brown and other Banking Committee members have ramped up oversight efforts in 2023, particularly regarding three banks that failed earlier in the year, Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic. The failure of First Republic in May was the biggest bank failure in the United States since the 2008 financial crisis.

☆ Millions of parents to face child care dilemma if federal assistance ends this month

Proctor is one of millions of families that have had help paying for child care thanks to $24 billion in pandemic-era funding Congress passed in 2021. Without the scholarship, I don't think he will be in day care. While most business affected by the pandemic have bounced back, child care hasn't. An estimated 65,000 child care jobs have been lost between February 2020 and August 2023, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Century Foundation estimates 70,000 day care centers will close without the funding, leading to a subsequent $10.6 billion in lost tax and business revenue.

☆ Sen. Warren calls on Yellen, FSOC to do more to shore up regional banks
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Emily Wilkins | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

WASHINGTON — Sen. Elizabeth Warren is sounding alarm bells about the future of regional banks in a new letter Thursday to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and a top advisory group for bank regulators. In the letter to Yellen, obtained exclusively by CNBC, Warren addresses the secretary in her capacity as chair of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, and asks her and the council to investigate several looming threats to banks. "I urge you to take strong action to address the alarming fallout from high interest rates and protect the safety of our financial system," Warren writes. The request follows an August announcement by Moody's that it was downgrading 10 regional banks, and putting another 17 banks either under review or changing their outlooks from stable to negative. The Massachusetts senator has been an outspoken critic of the increases, warning Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell and others that higher interest rates will ultimately hurt working Americans, even if they appear to exert downward pressure on inflation.

MARSHALL, MICH. – On a gusty morning in a quaint central Michigan town, the sun's glow hits the brightly colored mural on the side of a brick building. About a five-minute drive past an antique store, a book shop and a retro pharmacy is a wide field where construction has begun. Ford ultimately landed in Marshall, a town with just under 7,000 residents. Pros and consYet on the ground in Marshall, where the site is being prepped for construction to begin, the reality is much more complicated. Excitement for the site is paired with concerns about how life in a charming small town could change with the introduction of a major industry.

WASHINGTON — Democrats on Capitol Hill are forming a new working group on artificial intelligence and prioritizing how to prevent deepfakes from wreaking havoc on personal lives, national security and the upcoming 2024 elections. Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Wash., will chair the new AI working group in the New Democrat Coalition, a 97-member bloc of House members that typically avoid the spotlight but wield significant influence over policy within the caucus. "There's real concern about the potential for AI generated disinformation, real concern about misuse of advanced AI models," Kilmer told CNBC. Another concerning aspect for many lawmakers is what AI generated images could mean in the world of campaign ads. Ron DeSantis recently used AI in an ad to replicate former president Donald Trump's voice "reading" a post that Trump had written on social media.

☆ Major business group slams disclosure rules as House Republicans probe ESG investing

WASHINGTON – As Republicans in the House dig in to investigate environmental, social and governance, or ESG, investing, a major industry group that represents thousands of companies is urging them to make reforms. The letter is addressed to committee Chairman Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., and ranking member Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. The letter underscores the business muscle behind the GOP's battle against policies that back ESG investing. ESG investing has become a heated policy battleground. Progressive Democratic lawmakers have pushed back, arguing that considering ESG makes investors more aware of potential risks and opportunities.
