President Trump hasn’t yet lifted a finger to address sky-high housing costs except to hit “post” on Truth Social.
He could start by telling House Republicans to stop blocking a bipartisan bill to build more housing and bring down costs.

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The brutality of state force is in the streets, it’s on video, and it’s being defended at the highest levels of government. If we do not act now with united, powerful resistance, the normalization of militarized state power will become irreversible.

All true. But the presidential pardon power extends to pardons of cabinet members. There is no presidential pardon power over congressional impeachment of cabinet members. That would mean a living breathing House and Senate willing to impeach however.
A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Quite possibly true. But not at all helpful without specific recommendations on the “other steps” you mention. If you have good ideas, put them out there please.
I hope the Dems realize that if they extend the ACA subsidies, and take no other steps, they are giving carte blanche to the biggest insurance companies and major hospital systems to find new ways to game the system and increase costs.
