Trump-Appointed Judge Kills Rule to Remove All Medical Debt From Credit Reports

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-08-05 00:55:36

Yet another Biden-era reform intended to make life easier for some Americans has been quashed. Late last week, a Trump-appointed federal judge struck down a rule issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that would have removed all medical debt from being included in people’s credit reports. Judge Sean Jordan of the U.S. District Court of Texas’ Eastern District issued the decision Friday, declaring that the CFPB’s rule surpassed the limits of its authority. The agency previously state

Introduction The rapid development of electronic products results in a significant need for either upgrading existing electronics production lines (EPLs) or designing newEPLs. Changes in product orders also lead to a frequent reconfiguration of electronics production lines. However, due to unreasonable design, many EPLs fail to meet the initial objective.

Car dealers are always advertising that now is the best time to buy, but if you're in the market for an electric vehicle, now might actually be the best time to buy. The reason: Congress voted to pull the plug early on a massive tax incentive that could save buyers up to $7,500 on new EVs. Instead of expiring in 2032, the tax break now ends Sept. 30 of this year.

Try as he might, President Donald Trump is failing miserably to get the world to move on from the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein crisis. Trump's loyal fan base devolved into a cesspool of conspiracy theories after the White House walked back claims about the late billionaire sex criminal, concluding that Epstein had no "client list" and that the sex criminal had killed himself in jail, rather than being killed to keep him silent.
