We need real solutions and bold investments to address the housing affordability crisis in America. With the support of @DanielLurie and other great leaders, I introduced the Housing Boom Act to help spark a new housing boom across the country.

Travelers don’t need fancier outfits or new snacks. We need basic protections when flights are canceled. Infuriating that the Trump administration is prioritizing style over substance—while stripping away the rights passengers actually depend on.

Trump turned the Kennedy Center Honors, a nonpartisan celebration of the arts turned into a prop for his ego. Celebrities used as set dressing, and the whole thing staged like a campaign commercial. It’s not about honoring artists it’s about manufacturing optics. We ALL see it.

Great financial crisis? You mean when the housing market collapsed, banks went under, our GDP sank, the working class lost trillions in net worth and unemployment soared? Seems like a repeat of the last time we tried to bully the world with isolationist tariffs. Not good.

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.
