Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

So-called βinclusionary zoningβ is a tax on new housing that reduces the amount of housing that gets built, worsening the housing shortage and driving up rent. It is bad, counterproductive policy and we should stop doing it.

A single person making $82,000 a year should not need a subsidized apartment. A family making $117,000 should be able to buy a home.
We need to build more homes until median rent is less than 30% of median monthly income and median home prices are less than 4x median annual income.

Yes, it's essentially all nominees except judges and cabinet secretaries. A motion to consider those en bloc could still be filibustered (so they'll be considered individually instead).

Majority leader appeals decision of chair to the Senate.
53 votes overturn the chair, so point of order is new precedent.
Now cloture on en bloc considerations of certain nominees requires only a majority of senators, instead of 60.

Senate votes on cloture. 53 in favor. Chair says 53 < 60, so cloture fails.
Majority leader makes point of order, says actually only a majority is needed to end debate for motions like this.
Chair says no, according to rules...

There is a motion to consider a batch of nominees en bloc.
The Senate rules allow for unlimited debate, so the minority could filibuster by debating endlessly.
To avoid a filibuster, the majority files a cloture (end debate) motion. Under the rules, 60 senators must agree to end debate...
