The Trump White House is trying to exert more control over how federal funds are given out. The proposal would replace the current guidance for signing off on government grants with the final say going to political appointees. The rules would affect hundreds of billions of dollars in funding disbursed by agencies ranging from the National Endowment for the Arts to the Transportation Department.
Trump administration is undermining the industry. Trump has issued an executive order aiming to halt all wind-energy-related activities since taking office. Trump administration issued a stop-work order on the project in August last year. Thomas Kilday was in the midst of a four-week stay at IBEW 99 in Providence, Rhode Island, when the second stop-working order was issued.
Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, wants to shutter the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He's cutting staff, cutting budgets and closing down the CFPB headquarters. Diane Thompson is deputy director and chief advocacy officer at the National Consumer Law Center.
Bipartisan bill to make homes more affordable for Americans is now law, despite no signature from President Donald Trump on Friday. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to lower the cost of housing and spur more home construction. It's the broadest federal effort in decades to address America's housing affordability problems. The law limits corporate investors who own more than 350 homes from purchasing additional properties. It also increases access to small-dollar mortgages for lower-income buyers.
President Trump fired all three remaining members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on Thursday. The agency is the only federal agency devoted solely to election administration. The Supreme Court granted the president power to fire leaders of independent agencies. The EAC was created by Congress after the 2000 election to help states improve election administration without federalizing elections.
