the force of law, but doesn't need to be signed by the President. But it reflects the growing concerns and the Republican-led Congress about the war and Trump's interim deal to end it as NPR's Eric McDaniel reports."

“Congress has also passed a bipartisan housing bill today that aims to bring down home”
prices and increase the supply, sending the measure to President Trump. It's the most sweeping effort in recent decades to reduce federal regulations for housing and increase local control. And PR's esteem besaha has more on what's in the bill. This is in Trump and other politicians. They've accused corporations of buying up single family houses. And, you know, out competing with families and driving up prices. So this
bill bans large investors and companies from buying up more homes. If one of these groups owns at least 350 single-family homes, they would not be allowed to buy up any more.
Now, ultimately, this may not have a huge effect because these investors right now make up
just a tiny fraction of the housing market, but there are other things the bill tries to do too, like, you know, speeding up construction. One provision, stream lines, environment to reviews for building homes between existing homes. Another creates a grant program for communities to develop pattern books. If you know
“like, pre-approved housing designs. So builders won't need to go through as many approvals”

The Trump administration is providing $17.5 billion to speed up the development of 10 new
large nuclear reactors to meet the skyrocketing power demand from massive data centers. Energy Secretary Chris Wright says there's tremendous interest among data center developers to buy the power that a Department says it plans to pick five sites each hosting two reactors. Trump has set a goal of quadrupling domestic production of nuclear power over the next 25 years. President Trump's name has been removed from the Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. according to new photos from the site, a judge ordered the name taken off earlier this month, but his NPR's Frank Lankfit reports this is the first visual evidence it's gone. The photo show the bear marble wall where President Trump's name appeared above John F. Kennedy's. The photos were taken from inside the tarps and scaffolding that blanket the facade.
The cloaked structure has blocked the public from witnessing the process of stripping off Trump's name. The Kennedy Center said the tarps will remain up so that crews can maintain the marble. But many observers don't buy it. They insist the tarps were hung to spare Trump humiliation. Hands off the arts, an active as group which provided the photos says they're proof. The quote, "the power of the people is winning." Frank Lankfit and PR news.
