Ranking Member @RepMaxineWaters celebrates historic bipartisan, bicameral housing package becoming law:
"Despite President Trump’s refusal to sign the bill into law, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act has now constitutionally become law by Congress, and Congress alone."

This is what progress looks like: homelessness fell in 2026.
Yet, Trump's @HUDgov is taking credit while actively trying to dismantle Housing First, an approach that helps people secure permanent housing and supportive services.
As housing advocates point out, the decline happened because Congress protected Housing First, an evidence-based approach which pairs permanent housing with supportive services." It works. Stop trying to defund it.
Between 2025 and 2026, homelessness had the largest drop on record of 6.7%.
This includes:
-7.9% drop in sheltered homelessness
-4.9% drop in unsheltered homelessness
-7.9% drop among veterans

The numbers don’t lie. Americans can’t afford Trump’s “Golden Age” economy.
@HouseDemocrats are with the American people. Lower costs, end Trump’s tariffs, end his war in Iran, and bring relief to working Americans.
The American people have made their demands clear: LOWER COSTS. AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ACCOUNTABILITY.
Under Ranking Member @RepMaxineWaters, Committee Democrats helped deliver the landmark 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and fought to protect consumers.
With our new majority, we’re ready to turn up the heat and deliver more.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act was the most significant housing legislation passed by Congress in nearly 4 decades.
But we must ensure local communities are taking advantage of all that the legislation has to offer.
The @leagueofcities has a helpful toolkit for local leaders here:
⬇️
Trump has put more time and attention into his vanity projects — his ballroom, his arch, his reflecting pool renovation — than he has ever put into lowering costs. nbcnews.com/politics/donald-…
Trump's corrupt administration is abusing its power to punish anyone who refuses to bow to his demands. Its relentless pursuit of Fed Governor Lisa Cook is a blatant attack on the Fed's independence. Federal Reserve independence must be protected.

Trump’s tariffs add an estimated $8,200 to the cost of building a new home, while his war in Iran drives up diesel prices and borrowing costs. Instead of making housing more affordable, his policies are squeezing builders and pricing hardworking families out of homeownership.

You can't preach “fiscal accountability” while gutting the watchdog responsible for enforcing it. Yet @FHFA Director Pulte wants to slash the Inspector General’s budget by 61%, weakening oversight of mortgage fraud. The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association isn't buying it, and neither are we.

North Korean hackers steal billions from Binance. Trump pardoned its founder after a multibillion-dollar deal involving his family's crypto business.

And Trump wants LESS crypto oversight? This is exactly why Committee Democrats are demanding stronger safeguards and real accountability.

Ranking Member @RepMaxineWaters' statement following reports that cryptocurrency exchange @binance suffered the largest crypto hack in history, involving approximately $6.3 billion in digital assets, calls for stronger crypto accountability.

Those billions could have gone toward tackling America’s housing crisis instead.

RM @RepMaxineWaters & @USProgressives Chair @RepCasar co-led a resolution warning against an AI asset bubble.
It opposes corporate bailouts if an AI market collapse occurs and calls for aggressive federal action to safeguard workers, retirees, & vulnerable communities.

The president’s inflationary policies have driven up mortgage rates, making it harder for Americans to buy their first home and homebuilders to develop new affordable housing projects.
It’s leading to higher housing costs and hurting families nationwide.

⬇️
Working people are not an insurance policy for Big Tech’s reckless bets. @RepCasar and @RepMaxineWaters new resolution sends a clear message: No AI bailouts. Workers come first, not billionaires.
Tech oligarchs and Wall Street are taking massive risks to fuel an inflated AI bubble.
RM @RepMaxineWaters and @RepCasar have introduced a new resolution drawing a clear line in the sand: No taxpayer bailouts for AI firms. If they make reckless bets that fail, hardworking taxpayers will NOT be forced to pay for their mistakes.

Over 120,000 announced job cuts linked to AI, and reports of AI infiltrating the @SECGov.
Trump Administration’s big priority? An AI REBRANDING CAMPAIGN.
We need tough AI safeguards to protect American jobs and our financial system. But apparently, Trump thinks AI’s name is the real national emergency.

Trump's economic policies have:
❌ FAILED to lower mortgage rates
❌ FAILED to tackle inflation
❌ FAILED to lower gas prices
Instead of helping families with rising costs, Republicans are pushing policies that are making life more expensive for American families.

The Trump family has made a fortune from crypto, and now a lawsuit alleges unconstitutional profits tied to a foreign government. This is exactly why Congress cannot pass crypto legislation without tough anti-corruption safeguards. Public office is not a license to get rich, and no President should be above the rules!

Consumer confidence is near a record low, and Americans have had ENOUGH! Families are financing groceries, mortgage rates top 7%, and diesel has hit $8 a gallon in California. But Trump couldn't care less. He's busy cashing in on his crypto empire and easing sanctions on Russian oil while working families are left holding the bill.
