Biden's CFPB finalized a rule banning medical debt from credit reports, which would help 15 million people.
Trump's CFPB not only wants to scrap it, but has even joined forces with corporate groups suing to block it.

Donald Trump's "Iron Dome" project is back in the headlines.
A reminder that experts overwhelmingly say the plan is nearly impossible to execute, unnecessary, and hard to even comprehend.
βThe insane ramblings of a senile old person," one said.
Immigration court arrests are likely going to continue this week, with dozens of people around the country each day who were doing exactly what the government asked being arrested and thrown in detention and stripped of their right to a hearing because ICE wants to juice the numbers.

Because of Trump's dismantling of USAID, 60,000 metric tons of food that were bound to serve the poorest kids on earth are now on the brink of rotting in America. Our anti-hunger groups are ready to spring into action.
What say you, Mr. President?
Donald Trump has suggested recognizing Crimea as legally Russian in efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
But such a move would stand against a principle governing international relations since the end of WWII β that borders cannot be changed by force.

Cases of measles, salmonella, listeria, and hepatitis A and C have spread throughout the country.
But since Trump's inauguration, CDC newsletters, health alerts about disease outbreaks, and other communications have largely stopped.
"Make American Healthy Again."
It is important to recognize that a president who takes bribes and a Congress that lets that slide was itself a Constitutional crisis.
Banning bribery was so important, the Founders had the Constitution forbid it three times, including as the only directly named impeachable offense besides treason.
