Center Right
President Donald Trump downplayed pressure to sign a bipartisan housing bill Monday, arguing that it’s “unimportant compared to the SAVE America Act.” Affordability remains a top issue heading into November’s midterm elections, and while the president has seen national gas prices decrease in recent weeks following a ceasefire in the Iran war, he’s also made […]

Trump Mocks His Own Party as He Claims Landmark Housing Bill Is Boring
President Donald Trump still won’t say whether he’ll sign a bipartisan housing bill that’s coming to his desk Monday, declaring it “a big yawn” compared to his voter suppression bill.Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office Monday, Trump brushed aside mention of the legislation, which aims to boost housing supply and address affordability issues.“Big deal. It’s a yawn,” Trump said. “Some people say it’s wonderful. To me, compared to the SAVE America Act, just about everything is a big yawn,” Trump said.Trump on Housing Bill: To me, compared to the Save America Act, everything is a big yawn! pic.twitter.com/Z49vLFK1WP— Acyn (@Acyn) June 29, 2026The SAVE America Act would require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote, and a photo ID when voting. Citizenship is already a requirement to vote, and instances of noncitizens voting is incredibly rare. Plus, the bill as written doesn’t have enough support to pass the Senate; making it law before the housing bill, like Trump wants, is essentially impossible.“I think it’s so unimportant by compared to the SAVE America Act. I think the SAVE America Act is exactly what it says—it’s saving America from crooked elections. And the housing bill is a bill that can get approved, they worked on it long and hard. It’s very bipartisan—that means the Democrats like it,” Trump said, seemingly insinuating that the bipartisanship of the housing bill was a flaw.Reporter: What are your plans for the housing bill?Trump: I don’t know. I think it's so unimportant compared to the Save America Act. Democrats like it. They are getting things that I wouldn’t necessarily agree to. I made a lot of money with housing. pic.twitter.com/8aQYHfEPs0— Acyn (@Acyn) June 29, 2026“They’re getting things that I wouldn’t necessarily agree to,” he continued. “Nobody knows more than housing in the history of the presidency, nobody did well like me in housing. I made a lot of money with housing. But when I look at that bill, it’s a bill. But when I look at the SAVE America Act, it’s about saving America,” Trump said, demonstrating his ability to read.Republicans and Democrats alike are looking to the passage of the housing bill for a pre-midterm reputation boost. Republicans have a lot riding on this in particular. However, it seems like Trump would rather talk about his glory days as a slumlord than help out the vulnerable members of his own party—not to mention the millions of Americans who can’t afford homes.

'Big problems lie ahead!' Trump threatens gas stations to 'quickly' lower their prices
President Donald Trump issued an ominous threat to gas stations across America on Monday, telling them that they must lower their prices or else "big problems lie ahead." "Gasoline Retailers must get their Prices down, IMMEDIATELY! They’re too high considering that Oil is now at $68 a Barrel, and heading south," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The Retailers must quickly react to this statement and do what they know is right — DROP YOUR PRICE FOR OUR GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE!"Gas prices have been in flux since late February, when Trump and his Israeli allies launched the war against Iran. In response to the attacks, Iran exerted control over the Strait of Hormuz, a global waterway that accounts for roughly 20% of the world's energy trade, a move that has caused significant economic issues worldwide. Trump also warned gas stations against "price gouging" and called on states to drop their gas taxes as well. "There will be no gauging, which is totally illegal.," Trump wrote. "If Retailers don’t do this, big problems lie ahead! Start targeting around the $2.50 a Gallon number, and California should stop charging such heavy Taxes on their Gasoline. Soon the Tax will be higher than the Product itself, and the United States will not stand for it, nor will the People of California, who are being abused by these ridiculous Taxes, and by their own Government."

Mike Johnson finds his spine to threaten Trump — on one surprising issue: report
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) finally found an issue he is willing to threaten President Donald Trump over.According to Politico's Meredith Lee Hill, Johnson "told Politico tonight the bipartisan, landmark housing bill will become law and President Trump will NOT veto it."This comes after Trump publicly trashed the bill, claiming it was "unimportant" next to the anti-voting rights bill known as the SAVE America Act — remarks that earned him fury and condemnation from observers of America's housing affordability crisis.For several days, Trump threatened not to sign the bill at all, leading to confusion over whether it would become law, the timeline for the bill to be presented to him, and the possibility of a "pocket veto" if Congress doesn't stay in session.Per the report, Johnson "said Trump is still 'deciding' whether he’ll sign the bill or just let it go into effect within 10 days while Congress is in session. That clock started today." Johnson told reporters, "He's not going to veto. We agreed to talk about it again tomorrow."According to Hill, "Privately, House GOP leadership has conveyed to the WH that Congress has the votes to overturn any Trump veto on the housing bill — and they would do it, per sources."The housing bill, crafted by key lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, includes a package of permitting reforms targeted to make it easier to build housing, ranging from dense infill in cities to manufactured and modular homes.
