The Trump administration plans to use #AI, specifically #Google #Gemini, to draft federal transportation regulations. The Department of Transportation (#DOT) aims to accelerate #rulemaking, potentially reducing the time from idea to draft to 30 days. However, this plan has raised concerns about the accuracy and quality of AI-generated regulations. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-artificial-intelligence-google-gemini-transportation-regulations?eicker.news #tech #media #news

FDIC's Hill Discusses #Stablecoin #Rulemaking Lift
By Aislinn Keely
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. acting Chairman Travis Hill said Wednesday that crafting a #licensing regime for stablecoin issuers under his agency's purview will likely be relatively "straightforward," but the recently passed stablecoin legislation has also tasked banking regulators with thornier policy issues.

Advice from the #CFPB helped me to beat a bad debt that wasn't mine in court (I was my own lawyer). Armed with pertinent questions for the debt owner, I was able to prove that it wasn't my debt. But I wouldn't have been able to do it without that information (not without hiring a lawyer, which could end up costing more than the debt)!
Workers at the CFPB watch hopelessly as the GOP undoes their work

NEW YORK (AP) — "The lights are on at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau across the street from the White House, and employees still get paid. But, in practice, the bureau has been mostly inoperable for nearly six months. CFPB employees say they essentially spend the workday sitting on their hands, forbidden from doing any work by directive from the White House.
"The bureau is supposed to be helping oversee the nation’s banks and financial services companies and taking enforcement action in case of #wrongdoing. Instead, the situation is Kafkaesque: the main function seems to be undoing the #rulemaking and law enforcement work that was done under previous administrations, including in President Donald Trump’s first term.
"American consumers can no longer look to the bureau for help when it comes to their checking account, credit card, #PaydayLoan, auto loan or #mortgage. Trump has neutered the watchdog, employees say, the culmination of a yearslong effort by Republicans who felt the agency often went overboard in its efforts."

[PSA] OPM Proposed Rule Could Politicize the Civil Service — Public Comments Due by May 23
Heads up: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing a rule (OPM–2025–0004) that would let the President fire career federal employees in certain policy-related roles at will—with no due process and no right to appeal.This is basically a rebranded version of Trump’s old “Schedule F” plan, now called Schedule Policy/Career. These jobs would technically remain “career” positions, but the people in them could be fired for any reason—or no reason at all.These are not political appointees. These are career professionals—scientists, policy analysts, economists, legal experts—who implement laws passed by Congress and serve across multiple administrations. They swear an oath to the Constitution, not to a president.🚩 If this rule goes into effect, we’re talking about:A major rollback of civil service protectionsA pathway to loyalty-based hiring/firingIncreased fear of retaliation among whistleblowersInstability in long-term governance (especially across transitions)This opens the door to political purges of the federal workforce—something the U.S. has historically rejected in favor of a merit-based, nonpartisan civil service.🗣️ You can submit a public comment through May 23. Even a short comment helps show public concern.📍 Link to comment: https://www.regulations.gov/document/OPM-2025-0004-0001Let’s keep career public servants focused on the law and the Constitution—not partisan loyalty.OPM #ScheduleF #CivilService #Politics #Rulemaking #Democracy #PublicComment #MeritNotLoyalty

👏 Love that the agency is listening to state residents, not just industry and lobbyists here, despite the huge amount of extra heavy lifting.

"simply adding #technology without understanding the #complexity of (#GOV) #bureaucratic processes can perpetuate the problem, or even make it worse.
…what was different this time (#MACRA) is that the regulators could also see how #users experienced and interpreted the rules they’d written, and change their language based on #userbehavior.
we see early signs of the evolution of #rulemaking and #lawmaking in the application of practices from the #technology world."
