Sen. Warnock's ban on private equity firms buying single-family homes becomes federal law (www.cbsnews.com)

As CBS News Atlanta previously reported, more than one in four single-family rental homes in metro Atlanta are owned by large corporate investors — more than 72,000 homes — giving the region one of the highest concentrations of institutional ownership anywhere in the United States.

Housing advocates have argued that those companies can outbid families with cash offers, reducing the number of homes available to first-time buyers while contributing to higher home prices and rents.

Warnock has repeatedly cited those trends in pushing the legislation, saying corporate investors have increasingly treated homes as financial assets instead of places for families to live.

Even Bush Junior was capable of winning two consecutive terms.

It's certainly been something of a joke that Trump needed Obama/Biden in office to steal elections.

But go out to Florida or Mississippi or Arizona or Ohio and you'll find enough election irregularities to swing a race. Texas very famously shut down over 100 polling locations just last year. Mail in voting has been radically parred since the 2020 sweep. In fact, 2021 set the record for most restrictions on voting passed in a single year.

So the GOP underbelly seems to be on the case, even when the Trump administration fumbles.

You’ve been drinking too much Kool-Aid, or you are just so young, that you don’t remember being alive when George W. Bush was still president

I mean, I voted in 2000, and got to watch the Brooks Brothers Riot in real time.

But that pales beside J6, even if a young Kavanaugh succeeded where an elderly Roger Stone failed.

Stop spreading the lies of the fascists

Liberals simply will not accept that their system of elections is compromised to a permanent end, even as the SCOTUS power washes minority voting districts off the map.
