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

For astronomers, probing the mysteries of “space ice”—its molecular makeup and how it formed—could be the key to understanding not just extraterrestrial geology but also the potential for alien life. In a study published Monday in Physical Review B, researchers in England report that “space ice” likely contains countless tiny crystals inside and is less liquid-like than astronomers previously believed.

AI Does Something Subtly Bizarre If You Make Typos While Talking to It

New research suggests that medical AI chatbots are woefully unreliable at understanding how people actually communicate their health problems. As detailed in yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study presented last month by MIT researchers, an AI chatbot is more likely to advise a patient not to seek medical care if their messages contained typos. The errors AI is susceptible to can be as seemingly inconsequential as an extra space between words, or if the patient used slang or colorful language. And strik

The U.S. House made it official Thursday, passing the so-called Big Beautiful Bill in a vote of 218-214. The bill, hailed by President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, is projected to strip at least 17 million people of health insurance over the next decade and add $3-4 trillion to the national debt. And while there are plenty of predictions about what the massive cuts to Medicaid will do to hospital systems around the country long term, we won’t have to wait too long to see the impact. Me

This is because media apps use a dedicated “Media style” template, which is not one of the specific styles that can be promoted to a Live Update.
