Trump claims he wants to lower housing costs, but his allies in the House just axed a bipartisan bill that UNANIMOUSLY passed the Senate to do just that.

If Republicans keep blocking legislation to cut housing costs, Democrats will pass it ourselves when we take back Congress.

Today, on Pacers-Pistons. Pacers were better, but one dreadful run (a theme!) did them in. Jarace Walker, finally. The bench, better, while the best players were worse.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
