This week, Future Forum elected its new leaders for the 119th Congress! 👏

Co-Chair for Administration @RepPettersen, Co-Chair for Policy @RepGabeAmo and Co-Chair for Communications @RepMcGarvey are ready to get to work on behalf of young Americans across the country.

NEW: The rising cost of housing is the top political issue for young voters. As a recent first-time homebuyer after two decades of renting in Maryland, I know firsthand that the cost of housing is just too high. It’s time we build off common-sense legislation like the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and put the American dream back in reach for hardworking families.

Americans are giving up on home ownership, struggling to afford meals, and going without healthcare…

And Mike Johnson wants to spend $350 billion on more forever wars and disenfranchise voters.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Mike Johnson says that the Pentagon is requesting an additional $350,000,000,000 for things like "fighting Communism on our own shores"

Watch @repderektran ask Pete Hegseth why he is actively blocking the promotion of women and Black officers in the military.

Hegseth's answer?

Because I said so.

This is how the Trump administration operates.

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

While this success is worth celebrating, it is also a reminder we must all stand strong and remain vigilant against cynical attacks on our democracy.

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

Today, Trump failed in his assault on one of the most basic principles of our Constitution. SCOTUS just struck down his attempt to negate the 14th Amendment and narrow the definition of “American."

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

Trump:
> “America First”
> peddle voter suppression bill
> bill stalls because it sucks
> Congress passes historic affordable housing bill
> “No one gives a **** about housing”
> throw a fit and refuse to sign until they pass anti-American bill
> Art of the Deal

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

Millions of Americans work multiple jobs to keep up. Congress passes a bill to help build more affordable housing. And Donald Trump calls it a "yawn."

[Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree]

Trump asked by reporters if he will sign the House-Senate housing affordability bill. He doesn't tip his hand.

"It's a yawn."

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump had the answer to lowering your housing costs handed to him on a silver — no let’s make that gold — platter last week and he still found a way to screw it up.

Congress passed a once-in-a-generation bipartisan housing bill that would have brought down costs for families across this country, and when it got to his desk, he shut it all down.

Why? He just told you himself: “I don’t want to drive housing prices down.” He doesn’t actually care about making it easier for you to afford a home. He cares more about what's good for Donald Trump.

[Rep. LaMonica McIver @RepLaMonica]

It’s absolutely scary to be facing 17 years in prison for doing my job, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop showing up to protect New Jersey.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump will leave office with a Boeing 747, courtesy of Qatar, upgraded courtesy of you.

A foreign government gave the President a $400 million jet. American taxpayers spent millions more making it one of the most sophisticated aircraft on the planet.

But when Trump leaves office, the plane doesn’t stay with the government. It goes with him.

The Constitution is clear: a president cannot accept a gift from a foreign government without the consent of Congress. We never consented to this.

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

Trump hearing that Americans might actually be able to afford homes

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

He has refused to sign the bill until Congress passes his SAVE America act, a voter disenfranchisement bill that doesn't have the support of his own party.

Donald Trump does not care whether you can afford a roof over your head."

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

Yesterday, Trump proved that he cares more about preventing people from voting than lowering costs.

Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress overwhelmingly passed a historic housing bill that would drastically increase the housing supply in the United States.

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

Homeownership would be much more attainable for young people who'd like to invest in that part of their lives. The biggest obstacle to housing we can afford is the president.

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

@RepScholten: "Women across the country are being asked to show broad, fiscal restraint while the President of the United States and his cabinet are doing the exact opposite."

We’re sick of the double standards.

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

“The American people know the truth. They can feel it in their wallet every time they fill up at the gas pump, every time their energy bills come in the mail…”

Democrats are ready to put America first, but apparently Republicans haven’t gotten the memo.

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

WATCH THIS: @RepGabeAmo interrogates Trump' Secretary of Energy on their failure to meet affordability commitments.

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

“For all of the Republicans who have come to the floor to shed crocodile tears about the fiscal health of our country, understand that in half an hour you’ll be voting in favor of a bill that increases the deficit by $70 million.” House Democrats are calling out hypocrisy.

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

WATCH THIS: @RepJoeNeguse says the quiet part out loud:

[Future Forum Coalition @FutureForumDems]

WATCH as @Rep_Walkinshaw asks whether DHS Secretary Mullin will sell the $70 million private jet purchased by a disgraced Kristi Noem and give the taxpayer money back to struggling Americans.

The Secretary’s response?

“Why do I need to sell them, sir?”
