Rupert Murdoch is getting some unwanted attention in Britain for shenanigans of his print media over there. For our readers who watch Fox News, allegations of phone and email hacking and bribing police officers have resulted in 11 arrests so far.

Warren knows that Wall Street's hatred of her leaves them foamin' at the mouth and their GOP friends want nothing to do with an agency that will (gasp!) protect the public from predatory lenders.

In this Huffington Post article, Warren recounts what the agency has done, what it wants to do and the questions members of Congress should be asking their constituents.
