House Expected to Pass Affordable Housing Bill
“The U.S. House on Tuesday is expected to send to President Donald Trump’s desk an affordable housing bill aimed at lowering costs for homebuyers and reining in institutional investors,” CNBC reports.
“The legislation, dubbed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, is a rare bipartisan measure in a deeply divided Congress. It advanced out of the Senate on Monday night by a vote of 85-5, after months of debate and different versions ping-ponging between the House and Senate. Lawmakers struck a final deal on the legislation last week.”

“This month the Trump administration imposed export controls on Anthropic, citing national security concerns. That action forced Anthropic to pull back the release of its most advanced models, known as Mythos 5 and Fable 5.”
Supreme Court’s Ideological Divide Deepens

“By June 16, workers had noticed that chunks of blue sealant that covered the pool’s bottom were peeling and floating to the surface, the documents show…”
“The workers had also discovered that some devices installed to kill algae were not working as intended, according to the documents. And enormous algae blooms had turned portions of the pool bright green instead of dark blue.”
Trump Turned Refugee Program Into Pathway for Whites
New York Times: “Under Mr. Trump, the program has effectively become a whites-only path to life in the United States, a culmination of the president’s longstanding antipathy toward immigrants and his embrace of the concept of “reverse racism” as a guiding principle in his administration.”
“The president has fought to limit immigration for more than a decade, imposing travel bans on mostly African and Muslim-majority nations and making it much more difficult for people from those nations to obtain green cards.”

Trump on Collision Course with Senate Republicans
“President Trump’s push for stricter voter eligibility laws is colliding with a newly defiant Republican Senate, setting up a multifront battle ahead of midterm elections as his administration lobbies on Capitol Hill for more money to pay for the war in Iran,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“With just months to go until the fall elections, Trump has found himself at odds with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and other Republican lawmakers, who say the votes aren’t there for his top priority: the SAVE America Act, a bill that would tighten voting rules nationwide.”
Senate GOP Leader Expects Congressional Vote on Iran

Senate Votes to Halt Iran War
“The Senate on Tuesday voted to cut off the U.S. military campaign against Iran, handing a fresh loss to President Donald Trump despite his attempts to convince lawmakers and the public that a deal to end the war is at hand,” Politico reports.
“Four Republicans broke ranks to help approve a resolution to block further military action unless it is green-lighted by Congress.”
“The war powers measure is largely symbolic — the resolution cleared Tuesday doesn’t go to the president to sign or veto. But the bipartisan 50-48 vote is a damaging milestone for the Trump administration: Both the Senate and House have now weighed in against the Middle East conflict that’s stretched on for more than 100 days. The same measure passed the House in early June after months of close calls.”
New York Times: Senate votes to check Trump’s war powers, rebuking him on Iran.
