GOP Housing Bill Could Block States From Regulating Corporate Landlords An industry-backed lawmaker’s proposal could undercut state efforts to loosen Wall Street’s grip on the housing market — while carving out exemptions for large investors.

🚨SCOOP: As Trump used his State of the Union to cast himself as cracking down on corporate landlords, his allies in Congress were circulating legislation to block state laws that prevent Wall Street from buying up local housing, according to bill text reviewed by @levernews.com.

I think the post about how being a billionaire does cognitive damage equivalent to being kicked in the head by a horse every day is a pretty fair estimation, but what if they aren't kicked in the head by horses enough?

I'm a septuagenarian so don't trust the exact phrasing, but yes, every F-15 cockpit recording is bleeped and the Tornadoes were doing night raids and that's pretty close to verbatim.

I guess my three main questions for a 2028 Dem presidential candidate would be

-Will you abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved

-Will you prosecute Musk and the DOGE boys

-Will you expand SCOTUS with the aim of neutralizing all Roberts-era jurisprudence

That'd be something, alright. I was thinking of an incident involving Brits going along with U.S. nonsense and couldn't remember if it was the first or second gulf war. (Cockpit recordings of U.S. pilots [fuck yeah, nuke those bastards] vs Tornado pilots [they're all asleep in their bitty beds].)

Bad news, you didn't look into it at all.
