A new statement from the White House makes it clear they’re going to reverse the Biden administration’s reforms on overdraft fees and blocking medical debt from being listed on credit reports.

All unfounded bullshit. No proof - its not admissible in a Court of Law. Basically 47 & the Republican Administration are killing financial watch dogs that protect American consumers from Payday Loan sharks, excess late fees, overdraft & banking fees, cable & utility fees.
On the bright side, if everyone responds by steadfastly refusing to pay back any debt whatsoever until this illegal administration is ACTUALLY held to account, and that means thrown in jail, they'll all go bankrupt trying to bribe the bankrupt federal government to pursue debtors without any staff.
This administration is using terms like corruption, overreach, and irresponsible spending to justify gutting departments such as the CFPB that help people. Don’t be fooled! This is an attack by the billionaire class to remove constraints that protect the average citizen.
I just have to lol at the people who thought Trump still had some “anti-trust populism” or whatever in him. He’s just a plain old pro-billionaire Republican.
We have the power to drop those banks & credit card companies who go back to that thievery. We are the consumers & they live off of us.
If U have medical debt & can’t pay it in full, pay the collectors at least $1 a month. Debt can’t be put on your credit report if U pay every month even if it’s $1
Don't worry - when these downscale MAGA folks experience the consequences of their own ignorance, they'll just turn around and blame Dems for not protecting them. It's a perfect feedback loop of stupidity.
Wow, surely this will finally make eggs cheaper!!! No? It doesn’t? It in fact makes people’s lives harder? Well, cruelty is the point of this dumbass admin
All of this because Trump wants to be viewed as "The Elite" and is deeply insecure about his own status.
Yet, at the same time, part of his appeal was playing on right-wing populism that sneers at the wealthy coastal upper class, the very group he's apart of.
So his own writers for this nonsense have to play this tight-rope game of mouthing populist terminology while also having to manage Trump's emotions for him, as anything that implies that he's not "The Elite" will set him off.
Can’t wait for my Trumper parents to hear this one and somehow defend it even though the blocking medical debt from being listed on credit reports saved mine and my moms ass
Ha! A MAGAt was telling me the other day that he was glad Trump passed a law that medical debt doesn't count against credit. I was like. "Oh yeah, that's cool". I didn't know he was repeating a lie. These fuggin' ppl.
Love how his supporters will believe he's helping them when he's hurting them and helping his rich buddies instead. That picture you showed of him laughing at Mar-a-Lago goes right with this.
Trump. Continuing to fight for the little guy. It's a god given right for the more affluent to cheat and charge people money that they cannot afford for a simple clerical error.
Also, the person is dying, why do they need credit?
Poor money lenders can't make money if they cannot scam! /s
Funny thing is medical debt has no correlation with other kinds of debt. Even if you include it on reports it doesn't say a damn thing about noon medical debt.
Healthcare industry in the 00s went through a lot of hassle running credit checks on patients only to find no credit correlation at all.
Where is the Democratic response to this? We need a daily response from the same person (Beshear or Walz or Tish James) to call out the lies like Cuomo did during COVID.
I agree but I also think it's time for the non voters and the Trump voters to feel the pain of their brainwashed actions cause nothing else will. It sucks and many will also feel that pain for no reason but thr maga folks are not living in reality.
I think your point here is right on: Right or wrong, we are holding out for a hero. The muzzle verocity is incredibly overwhelming and it feels like we are playing whack-a-mole. Clear responses on a daily basis given by a recognizable messenger(s) will help!
As vice chair of the DNC David Hogg has access to the personal information of millions of Democrats across the country - including their cell phone numbers. Using this information Hogg texted every Democrat donor raising money for his personal NGO.
The New York Post is reporting that DNC Vice Chair David Hogg, who has called for paying reparations to illegal aliens and abolishing police, has been using DNC resources to solicit donations to a PAC he controls and uses to pay himself.
That's why no one cheered on the Biden Admin post election when they said they were getting rid of medical debt on credit reports... lol-we all knew it didn't mean anything
How fast will all our credit scores go down to 200 when this happens? No one will ever be able to buy a house or car...the American dream just turned into a nightmare.
Coming from the man who never pays his bills. You'd think he'd like something like this. Then again, he is from the "Rules for thee but not for me" crowd.
We are the only ones to fix this. They do not have the power of any branch. I do hope they shut the government down. At this point it’s what Trump is doing
This hurts soooo many ppl. If you are renting an apartment and this is bringing your credit score down- in some markets- this means you are condemned to living in slum landlords houses. *slum here means scurrilous landlord
“CBS says we’re popular actually! So here’s a list of unsubstantiated claims against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to justify why we’re going to help big banks f— you over.”
All part of the plan to eliminate the CFPB and then go after the middle class with medical debt. This will crush many MAGA as well. This will crush most people actually.
Nowhere did I deny that it’s cruel. But correctly identifying their motivations is crucial for any kind of effective resistance. And cruelty, or even power, is not the core motivation.
White Americans elected trump to try and destroy non white Americans. They’re ok with being fucked over as long as black and brown people are fucked over worse
Because he’s a transactional person: I do this for you because you will do this for me.. or you did this to me and you deserve to be punished. We want to capture him in the corruption.
Because he’s not doing it
He’s just the willing puppet who was promised $$ and his freedom in exchange for the keys to the WH. He will be disposed of once he’s no longer useful
Most affected people won’t even know what they missed. GOPers lie so loud that the lost potential of lower bank fees and fairer credit scores are just sad whispers to the few who are paying attention. Corruption be getting me mad.
What they were "regulating" was the banks' ability to charge atrocious overdraft fees and for creditors to ruin people's lives over medical debt - when that is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in our SEVERELY broken WEALTHcare (not healthcare) system.
Are these goons REALLY complaining about anyone accessing Americans' "personal financial information" and complaining about data security - AFTER they allowed vicious, inexperienced techo-terrorists to EXFILTERATE our financial, tax, health, and other data from every gov't agency?
There are a lot of people on here in the replies “this is what you voted for!” I suggest no one reply back, just block. I mean, it’s obvious no one here “voted for” any of this never mind Trump. If they aren’t fake accounts meant to undermine us they sure are acting like it.
Hold on there. This IS what they voted for. Trump has never made any secret of the fact that he is pro-business and anti-consumer. If they didn't know that, that's on them.
As an autistic I can relate to this and I've found it extremely helpful to my wellbeing to assume good faith and that if something isn't about me it isn't about me. I know I didn't vote for Trump so if someone says this is what I voted for I know it's targeted at someone else.
There is no reason for this, bills still won’t be paid by people with no money, the economy will sink even faster because no one will be able to afford anything.
Meanwhile the fearmongers get to gleefully flood every single feed with doomposts, as cruelty is the point (a constant reminder of how "powerless" we are against the system). It's a very special form of grifting, after all. That's how the fearmongering journalists benefit from this.
Exactly zero RW media outlets will report it while the rest of media (excluding independent) will either not report it, minimize it or argue it has benefits.

Trumpian Speak contradicting itself over it's own rhetoric because of the President's insecurity is fascinating.
It repeats the same right-wing populist attacks, but simultaneously, undermines itself by implying that the targets aren't actually elite.
Yet, at the same time, part of his appeal was playing on right-wing populism that sneers at the wealthy coastal upper class, the very group he's apart of.
We really are living in 1984 doublespeak
Rich old white men.
Why should we expect anything else?
I can't bet you in the other, I agree with you 💜
Also, the person is dying, why do they need credit?

Oh. That’s right. The cruelty is the point.
Healthcare industry in the 00s went through a lot of hassle running credit checks on patients only to find no credit correlation at all.
We live within a corporate town that demands everything and provides nothing.
It's so strange that he doesn't pop up. I found him through a link when he was elected vice-chair for the DNC..🤷🏻♀️

It's always been "Dems are evil, we will undo anything they do. Trust us... they are bad, you are smart."
(And the money for the 1%.)

Cunt
"Not you" is the most popular answer.
Wonder what group of people have the largest amount of medical debt in the U.S.?
Women, Parents, black people and brown people... wonder how many of you voted for #Trump #debt
What they were "regulating" was the banks' ability to charge atrocious overdraft fees and for creditors to ruin people's lives over medical debt - when that is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in our SEVERELY broken WEALTHcare (not healthcare) system.
SERIOUSLY?
