#Congress passed significant piece of #housing #legislation, in rare #bipartisan feat.

The bill’s passage, by a lopsided 358-to-32 vote, ended months of sparring between the #House & #Senate over a sprawling measure that aims to tackle the housing crisis by boosting supply in a country facing an acute shortage of new homes. The Senate passed its version of the same bill Monday, by a vote of 85 to 5.

Former #slumlord #Trump is expected to sign the bill into #law.

Congress Clears Housing Bill, Cementing a Rare Bipartisan Feat

A lopsided House vote cleared the measure for President Trump’s signature after a lengthy back and forth and several nearly fatal blows to the legislation.

The New York Times

And just like that … #extortion in the #MafiaState

#Trump posted that he would no longer be signing the bipartisan #housing #legislation.

The bill was supposed to have been signed at the Capitol, but Trump now says he wants #Congress to first pass his #VoterSuppression bill.

“Today’s Housing News Conference & Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,” Trump wrote.

Trump holds tense GOP meeting at Capitol after scrapping bill signing

President Donald Trump has berated Senate Republicans during his visit to the Capitol for allowing a vote to block his war in Iran, further escalating a feud that has diverted GOP efforts to focus on election-year affordability issues and brought much of the chamber’s business to a halt. Trump had signaled ahead of time that he would use the closed-door meeting to push senators to pass his proof-of-citizenship voting bill. But the conversation was more focused on Tuesday’s vote to approve the war powers resolution, a mostly symbolic measure that allows Congress to rebuke the administration’s military actions.
