Whether it’s housing, energy, or manufacturing, the solution to the challenges facing America is to build more.
Sat down with @newindustrials to talk about the Build America Caucus' work to pass reforms that make it easier for America to build the things we need.

The Department of Homeland Security posted several disgusting and discriminatory social media posts today attacking the Sikh community, and I'm outraged.
Stockton is proud to be home to the nation's first Sikh Gurdwara, and our community is made stronger by the contributions of our Sikh neighbors.
No one deserves to be targeted by Washington politicians because of their faith or name. Taking these posts down is not enough. Whoever allowed this to happen should be fired.

Pro-growth zoning means more options for families at more affordable rates. That’s exactly what’s happening in the Bay where a new project’s housing units more than doubled after zoning reforms.

This week's groundbreaking is putting the U.S. on the path to demonstrating the first-ever net facility gain of fusion energy and unlocking commercial use of this future power source. Great to see American leadership in developing the next energy frontier!

California has strangled high speed rail for years. Now they’re about to run out of money before laying a single track.

Improving zoning policy is such a crucial part of our response to the nationwide housing crisis, and why we fought to include new zoning guidelines in the new federal housing law.
A seventh (and final, for now) SB 79 application in Palo Alto: One single-family house → six condos
It’s amazing what becomes possible when zoning changes

Reading is the foundation for everything that comes after, from graduating high school to getting a good-paying job. Thanks to @educationgadfly for the conversation on practical ways Washington can support evidence-based literacy.

.@SenKevinCramer is absolutely right here - we absolutely need to give developers the certainty that politics won’t get in the way of their permits. Doing that would be a huge step towards solving our growing energy crisis.
Cramer said the bipartisan pushback shows need to impose reg certainty in a permitting bill. “There’s no question there's a coming together of the parties here. We can’t build anything. I don’t care what it is,” he told me. “So, let’s figure it out. It kind of gave me hope again"

Red tape stunts everything! Small business owners frequently have to navigate a maze of redundant permits and fees just to start a business. Glad to see NYC cutting back! Other cities and states should be following suit.
Mamdani: In a win for every ice cream lover across New York City, we will work with the state to do away with the frozen dessert permit that requires restaurants to seek out a superfluous second permit for what they’re already doing: serving food.
No more treat-sploitation, as we say.
Right now, barbershops need three licenses to cut hair: one to be a barber, one to own the shop, and one from the city on top of both.
The state of affairs is frankly anti-fade, and we will not stand for it, which is why we will work with the state to streamline these licenses as well.
And to the bingo enthusiasts out there, for too long, the potential earnings of a hot streak at bingo have been capped by arcane rules that no longer reflect how the game is actually being played.
With OPEN, DCWP will remove unnecessary regulations, including prize limits.
These are just a few of the improvements we are proud to announce today as we make it clear we are in the pocket of Big Abuela.

Congress did something recently that it hasn't done in decades: major housing reform.
Now, we need acceleration, and not just in housing - cheaper energy, better roads, faster cures, and more. Grateful to talk about it all with @FukuyamaFrancis at the @CNLiberalism Summit!

Good on North Carolina.
Not every coffee shop, apartment, or small business needs the same amount of parking. Let communities grow based on demand, not outdated formulas that raise costs and waste land.
North Carolina ends most mandatory parking requirements, with nearly unanimous support in the state legislature.
American elites are increasingly YIMBY-pilled.

The U.S. spent $12 billion on transmission congestion costs in 2024 - that's a $33 million tax per day because we've made it too hard to build new transmission.
And it's only going to get worse until we fix our transmission backlog!

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is finally law! Such a huge step towards tackling our housing shortage & lowering costs.
But this is also about restoring trust in gov’t and proving that we can solve families’ kitchentable concerns - now we have to keep this momentum going!
Congress has tried passing a housing affordability package half a dozen times over the last eight months.
With the Build America Caucus’ help, today is the first time one is heading to the President’s desk. Here’s how we got to this massive win.🧵

Emergencies like this are going to become more and more common as our grid infrastructure ages and new projects stall for years.
The Trump administration has declared a power emergency for the nation’s largest energy grid in advance of a dangerous heat wave that threatens to strain electricity infrastructure. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Manufactured housing is a critical tool for unlocking affordable options for homebuyers. We just passed reforms to make these homes up to $10k cheaper, alongside so many more pro-growth housing wins.
Let’s not wait another day for them to become law.

Indiana is the latest example that when states invest in evidence-based teacher training, students benefit.
Statewide reading scores jumped after Indiana passed science of reading reforms in 2023. More states should be doing this!
