Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports.
It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people.
Some populist, huh?

I read a report today that the Muskateers at The Treasury are making code changes straight to the production environment. I know barely anything about programming and technology... and that nearly gave me a panic attack. WTAF? (I think it was from Wired, but I am losing track.)

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
