Americans are suffering under the weight of sky-high housing prices.
Today, I’m re-introducing my bill with @warnock.senate.gov and @cleaver.house.gov to build 3 million new homes, bring down rents by 10%, and cut red tape that drives up costs.
Congress must act.

Also, she’s doing shit. I’ve seen her caring for folks affected by the wildfires, as an easy example.
Stop asking where former Vice President Kamala Harris is, she was right there willing to save us all from impending doom and many people failed her in order to choose doom instead just to see others suffer. Leave her the fuck alone, she owes no one anything.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

There are many who aren’t cowering. They know silence isn’t going to protect them, or their students. Enthusiastic compliance is the only thing Trump will reward and even that comes with personal risk. These folks should decide now where they want to make their stand, because it’s coming.
Michael Roth at Wesleyan is the one university president who is not cowering at this moment. Some presidents think to protect their schools they should remain silent or acquiesce to this Administration. Their silence will not protect them. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
