IT PASSED - Congress Just Passed A Massive Bill With A Whopping 396 - 13 Vote - Bill To Prevent Large Corporations...
Washington, D.C. - May 25, 2026
HOUSE DELIVERS LANDSLIDE HOUSING VICTORY: 396-13 VOTE CURBS CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF AMERICAN HOMES AND BOOSTS FAMILY HOMEOWNERSHIP
In a powerful bipartisan show of strength, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the amended 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act by a commanding 396 to 13 vote Wednesday. The legislation aims to expand homeownership opportunities, lower housing costs, and prevent large institutional investors from dominating the single-family home market.
This decisive victory represents a major win for American families struggling with affordability.
House Speaker Mike Johnson praised the bill as a direct response to the housing crisis.
“Increased housing costs and lack of quality supply are two issues that impact nearly every American family,”
He called it “a strong bipartisan package that will put more American families into homes.”
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise echoed the sentiment.
“This is something that every American in this country is going to be happy to see, to have lower housing costs,”
At the heart of the bill is a key provision backed by the Trump administration that bans large corporate investors from purchasing newly built single-family homes.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill stated the bill aligns perfectly with President Trump’s housing agenda.
“This bill prioritizes American families by expanding homeownership, enhancing affordability, reducing burdensome regulations that drive up costs, and increasing housing supply nationwide,”
“Importantly, it delivers on President Trump’s call to limit institutional investors from competing with the American people as they seek to purchase a home.”
The White House confirmed its support for the House version.
While the bill did not include a more aggressive Senate proposal requiring forced sales of existing properties, the strong vote demonstrates broad support for protecting the American Dream of homeownership from Wall Street competition. The 13 "no" votes came primarily from conservative members concerned about language regarding central bank digital currencies rather than the housing provisions themselves.
With strong momentum, the bill now heads to the Senate where Republicans hope to secure final passage and deliver a tangible cost-of-living victory ahead of the midterms. Polling shows seven in ten voters back limits on major investors owning more than 350 homes, giving the GOP a clear political edge on an issue that hits families hardest.
Hakeem Jeffries Panics - He Just Lost A WAVE of House Seats Intensifies
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a sharp public rebuke against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis following the governor's announcement of a special legislative session to redraw Florida’s congressional district boundaries, a strategic move expected to yield four additional seats for Republicans in the United States House of Representatives.
Governor DeSantis defended the mid-decade redistricting initiative by asserting that Florida was shortchanged in the 2020 Census relative to its explosive population growth over recent years. DeSantis emphasized that registered Republicans now hold a 1.5 million voter advantage across the Sunshine State, arguing that the existing district boundaries rely on unconstitutional racial classifications rather than geographic and demographic reality.
"The new map will more fairly reflect Florida’s current population makeup and fulfill our commitment to mid-decade adjustments."
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated during his official announcement of the special session.
Representative Jeffries quickly pushed back against the plan, characterizing the proposed congressional map as a partisan overreach that could ultimately backfire on state Republicans during upcoming election cycles.
"It is a 'DeSantis Dummymander'. Florida Republicans pursuing this redistricting will end up in the exact same situation as Texas Republicans, whom I describe as being on the run. They are dummymandering their way into the minority before a single vote is cast."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declared in response to the governor's redistricting strategy.
In a swift counter-response, Governor DeSantis dismissed the minority leader's warnings, inviting the New York Democrat to travel to Florida to campaign personally against the proposed boundary adjustments.
"I invite Leader Jeffries to campaign in Florida. I would be happy to host him at the governor’s mansion and take him fishing. Having Jeffries campaign across the state will only benefit Republicans because Florida voters will soundly reject the ideology being presented."
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated during a subsequent media press conference.
The redistricting battle in Florida unfolds amidst a broader national struggle for control of the House of Representatives, where state-level map adjustments across the country could determine the congressional majority. The Supreme Court of the United States recently lifted a lower court injunction that had temporarily blocked a new congressional map in Texas, a decision that could potentially add five Republican seats to the lower chamber.
Conversely, California’s pending redistricting plans are projected to yield five additional seats for Democrats, while Virginia’s congressional map remains subject to ongoing legal challenges before the state Supreme Court over constitutional boundary concerns. As both major political parties adjust their national strategies, mid-decade redistricting initiatives in key states continue to reshape the legislative landscape ahead of the upcoming congressional elections.
