Awesome to see the bipartisan work to help address people’s #1 affordability issue — the cost of a home. Congrats to all the lawmakers who kept at it and got this done. Huge!

[Holly Harris @holly_harris]

Passing a big bipartisan bill is hard. It takes incredible work ethic, tenacity, and perhaps most importantly…humility. Thank you to the lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in both chambers who stayed in the fight and worked through the challenges to open the door to the American dream a little wider. And congrats to all who had a hand in this achievement! 🏠

Congress sends landmark housing legislation to Trump’s desk https://t.co/BUaeOu62IJ

[Charlie Anderson @EconCharlie]

This is awesome and would love for folks thinking about ambitious reforms to transportation to engage with it and sharpen the ideas/next steps on making big changes happen. Shout out to the folks at IFP for the great work to pull these ideas together and make them sing!

[Kevin Ring @KevinARing]

Major thanks to @RepHarris and @RepDelozier for joining forces on another smart public safety bill. The PA House just overwhelmingly approved their bipartisan legislation to study the use of home confinement and explore whether it could be used more often in the state.

Now here's where it gets interesting. From 2023-2025, Washington D.C. shrunk its police force to its smallest size in 50 years and watched crime fell to pre-pandemic lows.

It specifically reduced its presence in high-crime neighborhoods, switching from reactive to proactive policing.

If it looks and talks like gambling, it is gambling. Regulation of sports betting and casino-style prediction markets belongs to the states—not the federal government. Joined @SquawkCNBC to discuss our bill to keep these products out of spaces where they don’t belong.

Build more housing = Rent goes down.

That’s the story of New Rochelle and what happens when you: 

LET THEM BUILD.

[Governor Hochul Press Office @NYGovPress]

Say YES to housing and LET THEM BUILD!

Minnesota’s “Somali welfare fraud” scandal is a story about program design, not immigration.

These thefts were the predictable result of a public policy decision to embed middlemen throughout our welfare system.

The way these middlemen programs work is that the government gives money to a private entity, and then that private entity is required to use it to provide services to individuals.

Any money not spent on the services is kept as profit.

A few dozen Somali immigrants in Minneapolis were not the first people to figure this out. You can find fraud like this in every program that has a middleman structure.

Last month, Kaiser Permanente agreed to pay $556 million to settle whistleblower lawsuits brought against the company for engaging in these fraudulent practices.

A Senate report also released last month found that the nation’s largest health insurer, UnitedHealth, is doing the same thing.

Absolutely shameful practice, but fantastic piece of investigative reporting.

“If they’re called on it, they’ll say, ‘Oh yeah, our mistake,’” Kennedy said. “Until they’re called on it, they’re happy to let those scanner errors bring in the millions.”

NEW: the SPEED Act is approved by @NatResources with this amendment by a 25-18 vote. 2 Democrats voted for the overall NEPA overhaul bill from Chair Westerman. Reps. Jared Golden, the lead Dem co-sponsor and Adam Gray of California. Story to come

“We need to govern in reality. We have adopted an all-of-the-above approach ..." -- Governor Kathy Hochul

Hard to overstate how large a shift nat gas has had in Democratic policy circles over the past year.

Great work by @RepLightner65 and @stephanielily!

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

I think philanthropy can play a few roles:
1) research about what works and the strength of the evidence base. Policymakers are always instituting new crime prevention strategies and criminal activity both has long term trends and short term aberrations that makes it very easy to falsely assign causality for political reasons. That can lead to confusion about how to best spend scarce dollars to minimize crime.
2) Fund new programs that are unproven/risky such that there isnt the political appetite to take the risk in case it doesnt work.
3) Try to increase the accuracy of the narrative about crime trends with the public.
4) Encourage shift of resources from dealing with criminal action on the back end to crime prevention and crime solving on the front end.

PA AG @DaveSunday_ is right that prisons have become warehouses for people with mental illness. It's great to see him trying something different in PA.
