Under the Biden administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized a rule barring medical debt from appearing on credit reports. Now, the agency is siding with the credit industry groups suing to have the rule vacated.

I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campaign, he would make a point of saying the press is NOT the enemy of the people. Thinking of President Biden as he takes on this next battle. Godspeed Mr. President.

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work
The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional
The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it

As we recognize Mental Health Awareness month, I’m deeply concerned about cuts to mental health services that support the most vulnerable among us. We must all continue to look out for and support one another.

Doesn’t “I assume they preordered” equate to agreeing that tariffs are a bad idea?

Take a minute to remember "pre-existing conditions."
People HID their health problems from their doctors for fear of creating an excuse for insurance denial--because insurance denial meant denial of treatment.
The ACA stopped that. Republicans want to send us back.
Save the ACA. #ACASavesLives
