I have good news from Washington today, and this is a big deal.

Perhaps an AARP card is the hot new ticket to economic prosperity, writes @EmilyRPeck. https://t.co/CaN1q951MR

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

To the many transgender students across the country listening on this Transgender Day of Visibility, @usedgov wants you to know that your school, your community, and your country are better because you're a part of it.

You don't just belong here, we need you here.

AARP stands firm in our commitment to fight for the issues that matter most to older Americans.

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

AARP calls on Congress to find a bipartisan path forward for the program before it's too late.

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

The Affordable Connectivity Program has been a lifesaver for millions of older Americans, helping them build social connections, gain employment, and access educational and health services.

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

Americans have paid into Social Security their entire working lives, and it should be there for them when they need it. #SOTU

[Rep. Yvette D. Clarke @RepYvetteClarke]

Without the Affordable Connectivity Program, millions of Americans like my guest to the #StateoftheUnion, Mr. Milton Perez, would be denied the low-cost, reliable broadband they’ve come to depend on.

It’s up to Congress to protect these benefits for Americans & their families.

[Bill Sweeney @BillSweeneyDC]

Thanks to @SenJackyRosen and @lisamurkowski for leading this important, bipartisan bill to increase access to palliative care. Nobody should be forced to endure pain when we can relieve their suffering.

The Maui wildfire was an unprecedented tragedy, and kupuna were disproportionately impacted. That's why I'm encouraged to see disaster relief in the just-released White House supplemental funding request.

[Nancy LeaMond @NancyLeaMond]

The package also prioritizes the Affordable Connectivity Program that helps older Americans afford high-speed internet access. In today's world, this kind of connectivity is a NECESSITY.

Come join my amazing team at AARP to strengthen the economic security of more than 100 million Americans age 50+. https://t.co/r2zdQ7hCs1

*This* is the American dream we work hard to support.

After experiencing homelessness due to domestic violence and living in @HUDgov-funded subsidized housing, CaShawn Thompson is on track to become a first-time homebuyer with her husband, Lewis Burrell.

[Diane Yentel @dianeyentel]

Important analysis.

[Department of Housing and Urban Development @HUDgov]

Today, HUD announced a proposed rule to fulfill the promise of the 1968 Fair Housing Act mandate to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH).

This proposed rule would create places of opportunity where every resident can thrive.

[Building Back Together @BuildingBack_US]

Just two years in and @POTUS has the most significant legislative record of any president since Lyndon B. Johnson – and he’s far from done.

[Brendan Pedersen @BrendanPedersen]

CBO estimates Rep. Adrian Smith's (R-Neb.) bill to rescind $80 billion in IRS funding from the Inflation Reduction Act would add ~$114 billion to the federal defecit over a 10 year period

[Secretary Marcia L. Fudge @SecFudge]

I am proud of all that HUD has accomplished this year, and I look forward to making even more strides in 2023.

We remain committed to creating strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality, affordable homes for all.
