👀 Nice reporting from Punchbowl on Warren’s latest efforts to dismiss the House’s housing bill

In March, @Rayyyfernandez and I broke how Warren refused to negotiate with the House and discouraged housing advocates from calling for negotiations/conference

Heather Cassidy, a lifelong Republican, told me she won’t ever vote for a Republican again.

“People like me, normal people, dealing with the cost of living, we’re not voting.”

But others in this swing district said Democrats aren’t doing any better talking about affordability.

House Republicans are on track to break with Trump on housing

While Trump wants House lawmakers to pass the Senate's housing bill, they plan to amend it

House GOP splits with Trump on housing bill.

Rep. French Hill's political committees got $54,250 from the @MBAMortgage PAC in just two and a half weeks after the Senate passed a competing version of the French-led housing bill that included a provision it opposes.

Millions of dollars in attack ads. Activists flying in from out of state. Bad blood within the party. And a whole lot of mail.

My latest is a story about local races becoming tests of the president’s grip on his party.

Undocumented children have long been guaranteed the right to a public education. Some conservatives want to change that.

“If people want to be educated, then they can go home," Rep. Chip Roy told NOTUS.

The spring housing market is not doing as well as anticipated due to the war’s impact on inflation and mortgage rates.

Republicans say a full recovery is still possible this year.

But for now though, people hoping to buy or sell will have to wait.

Financial aid & higher ed experts are confused by ED's decision to move the student debt portfolio to Treasury. Some think nothing will change, while others are concerned this move will sever ED's expertise & policymakers from the debt collection process.

Many Dems calling on Swalwell to drop out - Schiff, Padilla, Gallego, Pelosi

“This extremely sensitive matter must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability,” Pelosi said. “As I discussed with Congressman Swalwell, it is clear that is best done outside of a gubernatorial campaign"
