As HUD secretary, Scott Turner would oversee billions in housing aid, but as a Texas state legislator he voted against protections for poor tenants and has called government assistance “one of the most destructive things for the family.”

    ProPublica is solid, unlike some of the echo chamber garbage that’s readily posted, especially at election time.

    I don’t know why people think Trump is aiming to make the working class life easier. This pick does the opposite for housing cost and availability.

    We already know where groceries are going to go. Bird flu (eggs), deportation (agriculture), FDA regulation (we will get sicker from food), tariffs (25% increase on half our veggies, bananas, rice, avocado, tea, coffee, among other things).

    Trump doesn’t care about us. If anything, the man and company are aiming for another McKinley era which was NOT good for working class. Dig in. It was great if you were Rockefeller, not so much as one of us.

      Being a complete scumbag is the second most important requirement for getting into the Trump administration. The most important one is being a sex offender, of course.

      Blatantly false: through daily attendance at the church of soup and handcrafted carpentry factory, everybody can be saved. Jesus helps those that help themselves. /s
