A Trump-appointed judge overturned a Biden-era rule that removed medical debt from credit reports.
The ruling came days after Republicans voted to kick millions of Americans off healthcare – which will likely cause medical debt to skyrocket.

CFPB employees can't own stocks in companies that the agency regulates. A DOGE employee was warned by ethics lawyers that he held nearly $700K in stock in such companies.
He then carried out mass firings at the agency – including those ethics lawyers.
