Housing affordability remains one of the most pressing challenges facing aspiring homeowners, renters, and communities, Bob Broeksmit, president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), said in a statement. Today's overwhelmingly bipartisan vote in the House Financial Services Committee is a significant milestone. Broeksmit said the bill advances several long-standing MBA priorities, including updates to Federal Housing Administration (FHA) multifamily loan limits, targeted improvements to rural housing programs and stronger coordination among federal agencies.

The bill proposes funding salaries, operating expenses and other Federal Aviation Administration programs by tapping into a little-used fund with $2.6 billion that was created to reimburse airlines if the government commandeers their planes and they are damaged. The bill's sponsors, which include four of the top Republicans and Democrats on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, hope that relying on the fund might make their bill more attractive than other proposals because it would limit the potential cost of dolling out paychecks.

The former San Jose mayor turned Congressional District 16 representative has introduced nine bills since taking office in the 119th Congress this year. They range from proposals to protect Medicaid from sweeping federal spending cuts, barring national lawmakers from promoting cryptocurrency that benefits them and restricting President Donald Trump's National Guard deployments. He's also co-sponsored 33 other bills from his colleagues.

Trump announced that he was 'not happy with President Putin at all' and overruled his Pentagon to re-start arms shipments to Ukraine.

The GENIUS Act aims to provide essential regulations and consumer protections for stablecoins, marking a significant shift in how cryptocurrencies are governed in the U.S.

"As Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on federal judges, their safety and security are increasingly at risk. If judges alter their decisions out of fear for the safety of themselves and their families, then we no longer live under the rule of law," Goldman said.

Trump's characterization of the Digital Equity Act as 'RACIST,' 'ILLEGAL,' and 'totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL' is fundamentally incorrect, overlooking the digital divide affecting low-income families.

The reintroduction of the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA) aims to clarify patent eligibility standards by eliminating judicial exceptions under Section 101 of U.S. patent law.

"We don't want to have any reason for hesitation," said Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola), the measure's primary sponsor who wrote the Texas 'heartbeat' bill banning abortions after six weeks.

Hegseth's claim that the Women, Peace & Security program was a feminist initiative overlooks its bipartisan roots in legislation signed by Trump, recognizing women's roles in security.
