Yet House Republicans just killed the first comprehensive (and bipartisan!!) housing package of the last few DECADES
More than 75% of homes across the U.S. are unaffordable, study finds
Homeownership can feel like a luxury when only a sliver of the country's housing market is affordable for most Americans, Bankrate analyst says.

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

For context, the Public Integrity Section (PIN) was the most prestigious section of the Criminal Division of Main Justice of DOJ and attorneys who worked there went on to become Attorneys General, U.S. Attorneys, and federal judges. No more. Examples include Eric Holder, Jack Smith, etc.
So, about that team of public integrity prosecutors who investigated Tom Homan, the guy who accepted a $50k bribe in a sting operation last year...
The Trump DOJ has cut it down to 2 lawyers: a boss who oversees a single attorney.
