@RepScholten You can’t call it affordable just because you passed the cost on to taxpayers instead of the insured. Since ACA the average insurance premiums went up 150% and instead of improving service you just want taxpayers to foot more of the bill
@MarkwayneMullin I prayed for you today and your mission, may God give you strength as the evil ones will attack you, we will keep praying you keep fighting and know Jesus is there when you get tired and he will strengthen you - God Bless you
@NoSpinNews Truth be told!!!
The most unaffordable period for housing in the US over the past 12 years (roughly 2014–early 2026) was 2023. Notice in 2025 we are trending in the right direction again!! Trump is making housing more affordable, there’s work to be done, But there’s NO going back, NO going back!!
Best year for housing affordability 2020 last year of Trum’s 1st term. Worst years 2023 and 2024 the last two years of Biden’s Presidency.
NAR Composite/Fixed Housing Affordability Index (higher = more affordable; 100 means a median-income household can just afford the median home at prevailing rates, assuming a conventional 30-year mortgage and typical qualifying ratios):
2014: ~166
2020: ~170 (peak affordability, thanks to rock-bottom ~3% mortgage rates)
2021: ~148
2022: ~109
2023: ~97 (lowest in the period and below 100, meaning median families could not comfortably afford the median home)
2024: ~98
2025 (yearly/partial): Improved to the 100–108 range by late 2025 as rates eased.

@SenSchumer@dbongino Senator is the I9 document racist or Jim Crow 2.0 because the documents you claim people can not obtain are required to work in the US so are 20 million people out of work? What about government assistance are not these same documents required to get Assistance? Are 20 million people homeless? Do you understand how ridiculous you sound and uneducated! Please your better than this!!
@chiproytx if democrats think the SAVE America Act will impede minorities and women from have proper identification couldn’t they just help them get it instead of denying 83% of America what they want
As normal your claim is misleading The bill doesn’t mean all 300,000 will lose benefits immediately or permanently—some may comply with the new work requirements, qualify for other exemptions (e.g., due to disability), or regain eligibility later. You implying that able bodied individuals can’t work the 80-hour monthly threshold, therefore will be ineligible - tell the truth the whole truth!
@chiproytx the commercial Republicans need to run is: show democrat candidates like Virginia governor in a before and after election video before she did she was about affordability after show she ditched affordability for taxes!!
What happened to affordability?

@SenSchumer Here are the type of people these liberal protesters are protecting and your defunding DHS for:
Examples from Minnesota operations (announced ~Jan 10–16, 2026) include individuals convicted of:
• Murder/homicide (e.g., Gabriel Figueroa Gama/Mexico, Abdirashid Adosh Elmi/Somalia, Gilberto Salguero Landaverde/El Salvador, multiple from Laos/Sudan).
• Child sexual assault/rape/sodomy (e.g., Hernan Cortes-Valencia/Mexico, Sriudorn Phaivan/Laos, Ge Yang/Laos, Tou Vang/Laos, Chong Vue/Laos, Kou Lor/Laos, Pao Choua Xiong/Laos).
• Other violent crimes like aggravated assault, domestic violence/strangulation, negligent manslaughter via vehicle/DUI.
