Bipartisan Housing Bill Becomes Law Despite Presidential Protest

The 21st Century Road to Housing Act—aimed at lowering costs and boosting housing supply—became law automatically after Congress passed it and Trump, who opposed signing in protest of a voter ID bill, did not veto. The package, with more than 40 provisions, includes measures to speed up construction and curb large institutional purchases of single‑family homes, marking a rare bipartisan milestone as housing affordability remains a pressure point for Americans.

Trump Dismisses Remaining EAC Members, Leaving Election-Standards Body in Limbo

President Trump fired the two Democratic members of the Election Assistance Commission and allowed the Republican to resign, leaving the bipartisan panel effectively dismantled as midterms approach and potentially paving the way for replacements aligned with his agenda; the EAC, tasked with voting-system standards and funding upgrades, has long suffered from vacancies and infighting, prompting concerns about the integrity and administration of future elections.

Congress Demands Details and a Vote on Iran Memorandum

Bipartisan lawmakers are pressing for the text of a memorandum with Iran and a congressional vote on any deal affecting the Iranian nuclear program, warning that a secret executive agreement could undermine long-term oversight. The White House says the memorandum should be released by Friday with a briefing to follow, while some Republicans caution against bypassing Congress and others advocate a formal vote. The article also notes ongoing scrutiny of Jay Clayton’s potential DNI confirmation and a push to move a bipartisan housing bill this week.

Capitol row widens as Ukraine aid passes amid GOP splits and policy showdowns

House passes bipartisan Ukraine aid, signaling policy split from Trump

The U.S. House approved a bipartisan Ukraine aid package, authorizing about $8 billion in Foreign Military Financing loans to Ukraine and NATO partners plus more than $1 billion for Ukraine, Baltic security, and Radio Free Europe, with 18 Republicans joining Democrats; the measure heads to the Senate where it faces resistance and would require President Trump’s signature to become law, reflecting a rare GOP move that diverges from Trump’s approach and follows Republicans’ symbolic Iran war-powers rebuke the previous day.

Whitmer’s Trump Pivot Delivers for Michigan, Divides Democrats

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has shifted from criticizing Donald Trump to working with him, visiting the White House and publicly praising him to secure federal aid and policy wins for Michigan, including disaster relief and fighter jets for Selfridge. The pragmatic pivot has yielded tangible benefits but sparked intra-Democratic debate over whether cooperation or confrontation is best, as she weighs a possible 2028 bid and signals that, for now, she won’t be a candidate.

Democratic AGs allege exclusion from Vance-led fraud roundtable amid bipartisan push

Democratic AGs allege exclusion from Vance-led fraud roundtable amid bipartisan push

Three Democratic state attorneys general said their deputies were blocked from a White House–hosted fraud roundtable led by JD Vance after they declined a last-minute invitation, prompting a call for nonpartisan action on fraud. The AGs cited that the invite arrived with less than one business day’s notice and no agenda, and they joined a letter with 24 states saying they remain committed to fighting fraud in partnership with the federal government. Vance claimed some Democratic offices were present, while Democrats argued that fraud-fighting should not be politicized and highlighted their own Medicaid-fraud prosecutions as evidence of bipartisanship. Wisconsin’s AG also criticized the administration’s approach to messaging on fraud.

Democratic AGs skip White House anti-fraud roundtable after late invite

Democratic state attorneys generals declined Vice President JD Vance’s White House anti-fraud roundtable after receiving an invitation on Friday with no agenda, arguing the notice was too short for meaningful participation; Republicans largely attended, with several Democrats planning a separate press conference, chiefs of staff representing Democratic offices, and Vance stressing a nonpartisan focus on fighting fraud. The event followed the administration’s push on fraud prevention and enforcement across programs like Medicaid and small‑business loans.

Lawmakers race to pass bipartisan bills before the midterm sprint

With a Memorial Day recess and midterm campaigning looming, lawmakers from both parties are trying to push a package of bipartisan bills before the clock runs out—immigration enforcement, housing affordability, college athletics reforms (the SCORE Act), and energy-permitting changes—while also pursuing talks on cryptocurrency regulation, Great American Outdoors Act reauthorization, and other must-pass items like funding, the farm bill, and transportation. Despite a professed desire to work together, deep distrust persists, and President Trump’s recent push for a partisan election-security measure adds a complication to negotiations as Speaker Johnson faces conservative opposition.
