Both houses of Congress passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act with veto-proof margins. The bill addresses the national housing shortage. It was the product of a partnership between progressive firebrand Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Tim Scott, R-S.C., who is a staunch Trump ally. Trump refused to sign the bill because he's angry about his anti-voting bill, the Save America Act.

President Trump fired the remaining two Democratic members on the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), while allowing a separate Republican member to resign on Thursday. The Supreme Court ruled last month that the president has broad authority to fire members of independent boards. The EAC certifies voting technology, handles the national voter registration form and distributes federal grants to different states. The administration has taken various actions on voting, from demanding state voter rolls to sending election monitors to six Democratic stronghold states.

After months of negotiations and last-minute drama, the bipartisan housing bill became law at midnight. It reshapes manufactured and modular housing rules, restricts large institutional investors from buying single-family homes, and includes a handful of banking industry priorities like brokered deposit reforms. The bill aims to cut red tape for housing construction funds, but analysts expect the impact on housing supply to be marginal.
