Trump Killed the Bill That Makes Housing Cheaper, So He Can Make It Harder to Vote
from The Rogue Voice Podcast with Linsay Rousseau · host Linsay Rousseau
Trump Cancels Signing of the Biggest Housing Bill in Decades to Force Through a Voter Suppression LawDonald Trump canceled the signing of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act an hour before the ceremony, refusing to sign the most significant housing affordability bill in a generation until Congress passes the SAVE Act, his voter bill.The housing bill passed the House 358 to 32 and the Senate 85 to 5. It builds homes and caps the Wall Street firms buying up single-family houses. It landed as inflation hit 4.2 percent, gas sat up around 50 percent since the Iran war, and beef ran nearly 19 percent higher.Trump called the bill “of minor importance” and reportedly told his own Republicans “I don’t care about housing.” Congressman French Hill was caught praising the bill on live TV as staffers unscrewed the presidential seal behind him.The SAVE Act can’t pass. Thune won’t kill the filibuster, the Senate parliamentarian already ruled it can’t go through reconciliation, and Republican Anna Paulina Luna called that plan Kool-Aid. Trump has ten days to sign the housing bill or let it die in a pocket veto.Sources:https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5938384-save-america-act-reconciliation-johnson/https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/24/trump-cancels-housing-bill-signing-save-america-act.htmlhttps://newrepublic.com/post/212282/republicans-scramble-trump-refuses-sign-housing-billhttps://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htmhttps://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-trump-administrations-tariffs-and-iran-war-will-cause-americans-to-face-higher-prices-this-summer/The New Republic Get full access to The Rogue Voice aka Linsay Rousseau at linsayrousseau.substack.com/subscribe
