A new @jecdems.bsky.social report found Donald Trump is making America's housing crisis worse.
His stupid tariffs have driven up the costs of building and furnishing a home by up to $17,000 per home!
Fewer homes, higher prices, Trump's America keeps getting more expensive.

IT'S OFFICIAL: The House has passed our extension of TPS for Haiti.
This win wouldn't be possible without the strength & organizing of our movement to defend our Haitian neighbors.
To those in the #MA7 & beyond, this is for you.
The Senate must pick this up without delay.
If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
I urge anyone experiencing a time of crisis to call or text 9-8-8 to connect with immediate support
This tragedy is a devastating reminder that domestic violence can affect any family or community. It's important that we recognize the warning signs, support those at risk, and take action to prevent such violence.
I'm heartbroken by the horrific act of domestic violence that has taken Cerina Fairfax’s life and left their children without parents. My thoughts are with those children, their family, loved ones, and all in our community who are grieving.
At today's @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social hearing, I asked RFK Jr. how many more millions of dollars he intends to take from efforts to reduce health costs and improve patient experience.
He didn't answer my question, and instead bragged about a Yale-educated physician who's in charge of these cuts.

The flailing health chief yelled, argued, interrupted, and denied his own words during a heated exchange with a congresswoman.
An opening act of Trump's war of choice was the massacre of schoolkids in Iran.
Those kids would be alive today if Congress had done our job and restrained the president's lust for power.
Sadly, House Republicans again blocked a bill to end the war.
A contemptible failure of moral leadership.
More on our Millionaires Surtax Act, legislation to ensure the richest among us pay their fair share:
beyer.house.gov/news/documen...
Following Donald Trump and Republicans’ massive tax cuts for the richest few, the wealthiest pay little to no taxes while working Americans shoulder the burden.
Our millionaires surtax would restore fairness to the tax code and fund key priorities for the American people.
Donald Trump and House Republicans promised working families tax refunds exceeding $1,000, but refunds have not met those promises.
On top of that, tariffs added around $1,700 in extra costs for families last year.
More failed promises and added costs!
Reposted byCongressman Don Beyer
Republicans promised you hefty refunds. Not only did they lie about that, they drove up the cost of everything too.
The President can’t fire the Fed Chair over mere policy disagreements, but Trump keeps trying to intimidate and remove Jerome Powell for refusing to ignore economic reality and bow to MAGA demands to cut interest rates as inflation rises.
The ALERT Act just passed the House!
I’m glad to see its aviation safety reforms reach the Senate and urge my colleagues to make improvements where needed.
Congress must prevent a tragedy like last year’s from happening again, and that starts with passing this bill into law.
This bill is major improvement on current aviation safety policy, but there are still legitimate gaps and concerns.
As this bill advances, I urge my colleagues to make improvements, close loopholes, and prioritize safety for all over convenience for some.
The ALERT Act is coming to the House Floor for a vote.
I'll be voting YES.
This bill would implement all 50 recommendations in NTSB's final report on last year’s January 29 collision at National Airport, which tragically took 67 lives.
I'm proud to co-sponsor important legislation led by my friend @raskin.house.gov to establish an independent Commission on Presidential Capacity, the body called for in the 25th Amendment to determine presidential fitness.
More on that bill here: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...
Donald Trump promised to be "tough on crime" and bring back "law and order” but his DOJ is turning a blind eye to serious crime, including terrorism and drug trafficking, to prioritize a destructive immigration agenda.

The administration’s exemption of oil and gas operations from the Endangered Species Act is illegal, and does little to solve the energy crisis created by Trump's illegal war in Iran. I'm working on legislation to reverse this decision and protect endangered species in the Gulf.
President al-Sisi should end his targeting of activists, journalists, human rights defenders, and critics of his government and free all those wrongfully detained for exercising their fundamental freedoms.
