With only a House majority, Democrats are unable to enact legislation—but that doesn’t mean they’re powerless. Under the leadership of Chairman Maxine Waters, the Financial Services Committee has used its oversight powers to go after politically disfavored industries.

In January Wells Fargo said it would no longer market to private prison companies, aiming to achieve the same objective by attrition.
