Unused land is one of the most overlooked fixes in the housing shortage. One Colorado Springs church just proved why: https://t.co/2g7Osixy90

Illinois needs 227,000 new homes over 5 years, but a statewide fix just stalled in Springfield.

So Illinois Realtors built a local workaround. States should take note! https://t.co/nttPoeVulW

States are regulating AI because Congress has failed to act. But if Washington wants states to step back, we need a real federal plan with strong national protections, risk-based rules, verifiable compliance, and clear pathways for responsible innovation.

There's a single piece of equipment standing between America and a faster, more reliable grid—if you can wait 5 years to get it.

Here are the solutions that could shrink that wait dramatically: https://t.co/53KHX0XQ8g

Financing delays add tens of thousands to every affordable unit built. California just streamlined that process in a major push.

We love to see good policy in action: https://t.co/648qBXFK1m

"Permits just take a while,” says a Castle Rock restaurant owner who had to wait 6 weeks just to get a sign (no kidding!).

Over $1.5 trillion in critical energy projects sit frozen in bureaucratic limbo. Permitting delays add $120B+ in extra costs on family energy bills over 7 years.

Permitting reform isn't partisan. It's an economic & national security priority.

90% of Americans say rising food prices are a top affordability concern, ahead of housing and healthcare.

That should be a wake-up call for leaders. At NAE, we’re calling for practical solutions that truly cut costs: https://t.co/6efJSPw8ix

[Problem Solvers Caucus @ProbSolveCaucus]

Affordability isn’t one problem.
It’s housing.
It’s health care.
It’s groceries.
It’s child care.
It’s energy.
Americans feel these costs every single day, which is why the Problem Solvers Caucus built a comprehensive bipartisan agenda focused on lowering them.

Real consumer protection is key to affordability, but AB 1776 isn't it—and could come with a $1 trillion price tag.

There's a smarter way to hold big companies accountable. NAE President @CheriBustos explains how:

When we talk about the affordability crisis, how “unaffordable” are we talking, really?

Let’s take a look at the numbers:

Timely, local data is key to understanding affordability challenges. Explore Urban Institute’s American Affordability Tracker for insights on household costs, earnings, and financial strain across communities. https://t.co/1U3ia1sFE5 #Affordability #Data #Families

A subway platform hitting 96 degrees isn't just miserable, it's wasted energy. NYC wants to capture it and use it to heat buildings come winter.

Practical solutions to solvable problems. We love to see it!

As roughly 12.4M older households face housing cost burdens, the lack of affordable, accessible #housing is making it harder for #seniors to age with dignity and security.

Before a single board is nailed, a new home in Denver carries more than $40,000 in government fees, more than double the average across comparable cities. Colorado's housing crisis isn't just a market problem. A lot of it is policy-made, and policy can fix it.

Right now, the California state legislature is considering a bill that could cost the state $1 trillion in economic activity and 1.6 million jobs over the next decade.

AB 1776 is a bill that working California families just can’t afford. Read more here: https://t.co/YwtZDwGYez

Fast-growing rural counties are building homes at nearly the same pace as cities, but home prices are still far ahead of wages. Here are the solutions that could actually get homes built:

[Inclusive Abundance @InclsvAbundance]

Housing debates too often stay focused on cities, but new research from @ThirdWayTweet shows that fast-growing rural counties now face some of the tightest housing markets in the country.

AI isn't just for Fortune 500 companies. Chatbots and hiring screens are already running in small businesses everywhere. The catch: more than 20 states now have privacy and AI disclosure rules, and staying compliant matters just as much at small scale.

The problem isn't building. It's waiting.

America's energy projects often spend 5 to 10 years navigating the federal permitting process before construction can even begin.

Those delays increased financing, labor, and material costs. That means higher costs for the energy infrastructure our communities depend on.

A modern permitting process can deliver timely decisions, reduce unnecessary delays, and help provide affordable, reliable energy while maintaining strong environmental safeguards.

@MorningConsult: 60% of voters want targeted, practical fixes over sweeping ideological overhauls. We know a majority when we see one.

The country might not be as divided as the noise suggests.
