Yes, America Has a Housing Emergency But Trump will make it worse ........ everything Trump is doing that affects housing availability will make the emergency worse. ......... Background: Donald Trump loves emergencies. He has been in office less than 8 months, but has already formally declared 9 national emergencies, as well as a “crime emergency” in Washington DC. .......... As far as I can tell, so far all of Trump’s claims about emergency have been false excuses for power grabs. There is no national crime wave demanding military action — America’s big cities are, on average, safer than they’ve been since the 1960s. There is no economic emergency to justify the highest tariffs in 90 years — Trump himself keeps insisting that the U.S. economy is doing great. .......... And when they get a chance, courts have by and large been declaring Trump’s power grabs to deal with imaginary emergencies illegal. Two courts have now ruled that he broke the law by invoking emergency economic powers to impose tariffs. Another court has ruled that he had no right to send the National Guard into Los Angeles. ............. Over the past decade home prices have risen much faster than the overall cost of living, so the popular perception that housing has become unaffordable is grounded in reality .......... all our major cities, in red states as well as blue, have become places where existing homeowners have become effective at stopping new construction. ........... Nothing says “make housing cheaper” like imposing a 35 percent tariff on imports of Canadian lumber and deporting many of the immigrant workers crucial to the U.S. construction industry. ............ during last year’s campaign JD Vance falsely blamed immigrants for the housing crisis.

🇨🇳 China just held their biggest military flex in decades.

They revealed 11 weapons that have never been seen before in public.

Military analysts are calling it a 'strategic message.'

Hypersonic missiles were front and center.

China unveiled new models, including the DF-17 and the anti-ship DF-26D.

New Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) were also on display, including the DF-61 and the upgraded DF-5C.

Yep. The vast majority of hard drug traffickers are US citizens. https://t.co/rsnYeIYUUy pic.twitter.com/15iSWWtaax

🧵Trump’s deployment of federal agents and the National Guard to D.C. was never about crime. It’s a political stunt and a serious abuse of power. I explain the danger this poses in the @nytimes https://t.co/bfMRKaxbom

Tariffs are going great, congrats to all the heterodox thinkers who had the courage to ignore mainstream economic advice. https://t.co/XWIJAwTaeK pic.twitter.com/RnNEefWG46

It Was Never Just About Crime I was sitting on a restaurant patio on Capitol Hill with a friend last Monday when a motorist was pulled over by local police officers right in front of us. Within minutes, unmarked cars and federal agents — some wearing vests marked with the initials of Homeland Security Investigations and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — surrounded his vehicle. Once outside the car, he was placed in handcuffs. He was released after several concerned diners approached the agents. ............ A few days before that, I stepped outside to walk my dog and was surprised to see Homeland Security Investigations agents patrolling my block. By the time I got back to my apartment, they had surrounded a young woman in front of my building. She was not resisting arrest. The agents placed her in hand and leg cuffs bound together by chains. My neighbors and I watched as they whisked her away in an unmarked vehicle. .......... Most federal agents — like the ones I saw from H.S.I. and A.T.F. — do not normally conduct immigration checks or pull over drivers for traffic violations. Their job is to dismantle drug cartels, arrest arms traffickers and combat child exploitation and human trafficking rings in the United States. ......... The administration has threatened to deploy federal agents to other cities, where the White House has amplified concerns about crime, criticized sanctuary policies and challenged political opposition. On Monday the president issued an executive order to create specially trained National Guard units that could be deployed in all 50 states in the name of public safety. .......... The president may be using Washington as a testing ground for expanding federal control over local law enforcement nationwide. Once that infrastructure is in place, little would prevent it from being turned against civilians. ......... While the violent crime rate in my adopted city is the lowest it’s been in years, Washington, like so many cities, still has a long way to go in making people feel safe. Many residents, including me, don’t think the city has done enough to reduce gun violence, combat homelessness or address youth crime............. Still, if Mr. Trump truly cared about the well-being of the residents, he would instead work with Congress to restore the $1.1 billion it cut from the city’s budget — funds that would have gone to community services that advance public safety, such as the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, youth mental health programming and support for victims of domestic violence. ............... This month, Ms. Bondi sent a letter to over 30 mayors and governors threatening to prosecute them for not being sufficiently supportive of immigration enforcement. On Aug. 14, Border Patrol agents showed up in downtown Los Angeles at a rally and press event that Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding on congressional redistricting. ............ a majority of residents said they opposed the president’s moves. To the public, these arrests appear arbitrary, fueling tense scenes across the city, where residents are angrily shouting at agents and National Guard members, demanding they get out. Grand juries have declined to issue indictments in certain cases, including one in which a man was accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal agent. ........... While all this is unfolding in our city, the local economy is taking a hit. Businesses, especially bars and restaurants, have reported a decrease in revenue and foot traffic. Data from OpenTable shows that since the president federalized our police department, restaurants here have experienced a 24 percent drop in reservations compared with the same time last year. .............

The president was never supposed to have a personal militia.

........... Mr. Trump doesn’t make anyone safer by sending National Guard members and federal agents into cities. Instead, he’s sowing confusion and stretching presidential power well beyond its constitutional limits. These moves are also a misuse of the men and women who joined the National Guard or federal law enforcement agencies to defend the country — not to intimidate their fellow citizens or to pick up trash around Lafayette Park. .......... Do we really want to live in a country where the president can unilaterally deploy federal forces into cities that neither need nor request them? If we allow this expansion of power to go unchecked, we risk a future in which those federal agents can be turned against any one of us.
