Social Security Retirement Trust Fund Will Run Dry In 2032 Unless Congress Acts
Tens of millions of Americans face potential reductions in Social Security and Medicare benefits as annual reports from the programs' trustees project accelerated insolvency for their respective trust funds. The Social Security retirement trust fund is now anticipated to be depleted by late 2032, while Medicare's hospital insurance trust fund is expected to be exhausted by the second quarter of 2033. These revised forecasts, attributed to factors including recent tax policy changes, declining fertility rates, and reduced immigration, underscore an urgent need for congressional action to prevent significant financial shortfalls for beneficiaries.

New Consumer Protection Rule Turns Its Back On Fair Housing As Advocates Sue To Preserve Enforcement
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has issued a new rule significantly curtailing anti-discrimination efforts, a move described as one of the most consequential shifts in federal fair-lending policy in decades. This action has prompted a federal lawsuit filed by the National Fair Housing Alliance and four other housing organizations in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The suit challenges the CFPB's decision to end the disparate impact standard and limit special purpose credit programs, which are crucial for expanding credit access for marginalized communities. Plaintiffs assert the bureau failed to justify its departure from decades of settled Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) implementation and question the Acting Director's rulemaking authority.

Seattle loves its scooters, just stay off the sidewalk please
People in Seattle took more than 10.5 million e-scooter and e-bike trips last year. But scooters can be a risky choice. Harborview treated 163 serious injuries from e-scooters or e-bikes in 2024. Recently, Seattle began requiring companies to use technology to prevent people from riding on the sidewalk. To learn more about injury prevention, we talk with UW epidemiology professor Steve Mooney, who's studied injuries involving micromobility devices.
