“The bill also provides increased funds for fair housing enforcement, which is all the more important given HUD's open hostility to bedrock fair housing laws and the President's racist tweet, just yesterday, about low-income housing in suburban communities. Pending amendments will go one step further in preventing Donald Trump from repealing our fair housing rules. So, Mr. Speaker, this year's T-HUD bill incorporates many priorities from Members on both sides of the aisle, makes forward-looking investments in our housing and transportation infrastructure, boosts safety, protects vulnerable population, and promotes equity and fairness. I want to thank our excellent professional staff: Joe Carlile, our majority clerk; his teammates Gladys Barcena, Winnie Chang, Jo Eckert, Sarah Puro, Angela Ohm, and Becky Salay; our minority clerk, Doug Disrud, and his colleague, Alyssa Hinman. I want to thank Sean Maxwell from my personal staff and Chris Sweet from Mr. Diaz-Balart's personal staff. They work hard, and we appreciate that hard work. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.”
