[b]As Trump calls affordability a ‘con job,’ Democrats unveil an affordable housing plan.[/b]
“As the economy emerges as a likely defining issue in next year’s midterm elections, President Trump has wrestled with Americans' rising cost of living, declaring himself the “affordability president," then soon dismissing the issue as something that “does not mean anything to anybody.
…
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) will introduce legislation Thursday aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing for low-income and middle-income families, expanding rental assistance and boosting funding for long-term housing and emergency homeless shelters, according to a draft copy of the bill reviewed by The Times.
“Of all the affordability challenges Americans face, housing is the most acute. This is certainly the case in California, but it’s true across much of the country,” Schiff said in an interview. “I want to see the Democratic Party be the party advocating for the next housing boom in America.””

[b]The top drug regulator at the FDA, Richard Pazdur, has decided to retire from the agency just three weeks after taking the leading position, according to multiple media outlets.[/b]
“Pazdur, an oncologist who has worked at the FDA since 1999, was seen as a stabilizing force for an agency that has been mired in turmoil during the second Trump administration. He took over the role of leading the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research on November 11, after the previous leader, George Tidmarsh, left the agency amid an investigation and a lawsuit regarding allegations that he used his position to exact petty revenge on a former business partner. In light of the scandal, one venture capital investor called the agency a “clown show.” Drug industry groups, meanwhile, called the FDA erratic and unpredictable.”

[b]Trump’s anti-climate policies are driving up insurance costs for homeowners, experts say.[/b]
“Property insurance rates have spiked since 2021 due to the increasing frequency of climate-related natural disasters, inflation in the cost of building materials and supply chain issues. The typical homeowner saw an average increase of $648 in their annual premium from 2021 to 2024. And those rates are expected to increase by an average of 8% nationwide this year — with homeowners in some states facing much higher increases, such as a projected 27% hike in Louisiana.
An increasing number of American homeowners are linking those increases to climate change. A majority of them (72%) say that natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods and wildfires exacerbated by climate change are somewhat or very responsible for the rise in homeowner insurance costs, according to a poll by Data For Progress.”
