To close a Wells Fargo A/C, you must have a zero balance and no pending transactions. You can call customer service at 1-800-869-3557, visit a branch with valid ID, or by mail a completed Account Closure Request form if you are outside the U.S. Wells Fargo does not allow account closures online.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 3d

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Most plans begin open enrollment on Nov 1. This needs to be fixed NOW!

Democrats are rejecting a 7 week “band-aid” that delays a fix because waiting means 20M face higher premiums & 15M cut off Medicaid.

Better to fight now than abandon families later.

Neguse: Trump can threaten all he wants, but House Democrats won’t be bullied. Republicans may have forgotten Congress is co-equal; we haven’t.

While 750,000 federal workers go unpaid and moms lose WIC, Trump’s out cheating at golf—on our dime. Families are rationing formula while he’s working on his handicap.

The only thing he’s leading in is hypocrisy. ⛳️

The Republican party is more concerned with appeasing Trump's ego than with serving the American people.

#TrumpsHealthCareShutdown is a clear demonstration of their priorities: self-interest over the public good.
