The Senate just passed a bill that would (taking into account the expiration gimmickry) add $5.3T to the debt, which is more than we borrowed to recover from COVID. That’s unacceptable.

Commentary: Extra funding for supportive housing will help survivors of domestic abuse
But the funding will only make a difference if it's targeted to where it's needed most.

I don't exactly mean this in a fatalist sense, or a conspiracy-ish sense of "they'll never fix it man"... just more in the sense of "there are too many reasons it can't happen" barring some kind of major and sustained economic crisis... though that's not exactly a 'solution' as much as a disaster

Gavin Newsom just weakened California’s signature environmental law. That’s good.
California just demolished a major obstacle to housing construction within its borders — and provided Democrats with a blueprint for better governance nationwide. On Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a pair of housing bills into law. One exempts almost all urban, multifamily housing developments from California’s environmental review procedures. The second makes it easier for cities to change their zoning laws to allow for more homebuilding.

U.S. Federal Housing and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Chairman
Calls on Congress to Investigate Jerome Powell
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the Director of U.S. Federal Housing and Chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, William J. Pulte, issued the following statement:
"I am asking Congress to investigate Chairman Jerome Powell, his political bias, and his deceptive Senate testimony, which is enough to be removed 'for cause.' Jerome Powell's $2.5B Building Renovation Scandal stinks to high heaven, and he lied when asked about the specifics before Congress. This is nothing short of malfeasance and is worthy of 'for cause.""
"As Senator Cynthia Lummis said, 'he [Chairman Powell] made a number of factually inaccurate statements to the Committee regarding the Fed's plush private dining room and elevator, skylights, water features, and roof terrace,' and that 'this is typical of the mismanagement and 'don't bother me' attitude that Chair Powell has always shown.'"
"Chairman Powell needs to be investigated by Congress immediately."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreiccu6nzotiho2u23uri7hr5hczxaos5kntyguhimnnq5e5zrgsl7u@jpeg)
