PRIVATIZATION IS PROFITIZATION

It's funny how BlackRock became stand-in for evil corporation and landlord when they mostly just do boring index funds

Trump: I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Q: What are your plans for the housing affordability bill?

Trump: I don't know. It's so unimportant

lol remember when Obama suggested to the Germans not to do austerity during a recession and Angela Merkel threatened to kill herself

The medical community has cured a mountain of diseases in the past several decades.

Diseases cured thread🧵

In 2013, hepatitis C was cured by direct-acting antivirals.

Hundreds of municipalities across Wisconsin had to cut funding for police because Republican state budgets either cut shared revenue or kept that funding flat.

If it were just Milwaukee, that'd be one thing. But it happened *everywhere*. The common denominator is state funding.

The Trump admin is proposing a huge rule change to the Endangered Species Act, redefining "harm" to mean ONLY actual physical killing or injuring of protected species, and NOT loss of habitat, interference w/ breeding, etc.

Enormous negative consequences for endangered wildlife.

"Building Amtrak to Madison is such a waste of money"

Meanwhile the new Amtrak Borealis beat ridership projections by nearly 100k in it's first year.

Just fund the damn train

[Governor Tony Evers @GovEvers]

NEW: Today, we applied for federal funding for a new passenger rail project here in Wisconsin!

After the Walker-era rail debacle, Wisconsinites deserve a passenger rail that will serve OUR communities [instead of Nigeria's]. IYKYK

Official data is in today, and US solar power generation continues to grow rapidly, up 15% compared to this time last year!

I'm told the final 'enrolled' housing bill has been signed by House & Senate leaders

@mintjellybirkin All the Kennedys are chopped, sorry

@daveweigel He represents the wealthiest congressional district in the country. Truly a man of the people

It was a gamble for Democrats to work with Republicans on a bill to lower housing costs. Success would hand GOP campaigns a major messaging boost on affordability before the midterms.

Trump’s interference today turned that gamble into a political cudgel Dems are already using.

Members of Congress showing up to the housing bill signing

[Brendan Pedersen @BrendanPedersen]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) vows to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act — even if it needs to wait until Democrats are in power.

“We will get it passed while the Republicans are still in control or damn it, the Democrats will take over and we will get it passed.”

PETERS: Yes or no, if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule?

POSTMASTER GENERAL STEINER: No.

PETERS: So the proposed rule basically coerces states to hand over their absentee voter rolls or face the consequences of not being able to vote by mail
