Shitshow’s public schedule for…
H.R.6644 – 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act:
Summary:
This bill revises federal housing programs, including by expanding available financing for affordable housing and providing grants for planning and community development activities.
H.R.6644 – 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
For example, the bill increases the statutory maximum loan limits for mortgage insurance programs administered by the Federal Housing Administration for multifamily homes and requires the use of a more specific inflation index for such loans.
The bill also increases the maximum eligible income for the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (grants to states and localities to support housing for low-income households) and establishes a grant program to assist regional, state, and local entities with strategies to support affordable housing.
In addition, the bill
- exempts certain housing-related activities from the environmental review process, including certain construction, improvement, or rehabilitation of residential buildings;
- excludes veterans’ disability benefits from being considered as income for purposes of determining eligibility for the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program;
- establishes a pilot program to provide grants to public housing agencies (PHAs) and other owners of federally assisted housing to test the efficacy of temperature sensors to support compliance with temperature requirements;
- eliminates the requirement that manufactured homes must be constructed with a permanent chassis; and
- authorizes HUD to conduct performance reviews of organizations that provide housing counseling services.
The bill also expands oversight of HUD and PHAs, such as by requiring PHAs to post information about contracts on their websites.

The housing bill is bipartisan with the no votes all coming from Congressional Republicans. As Puddle likes to do, a win is never a win unless he’s insulting something, someone, or both.
To underscore the point, Puddle followed up with this.
Unless lunch is canceled via Lies Social, Puddle is probably still heading to the Hill to push Senate Republicans to end the filibuster in order to pass the SAVE Act.
His other Shitposts
Iran.
CNBC News (06/24/2026):
The Treasury Department will oversee Iranian funds when they are released under President Donald Trump’s interim Iran agreement, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
[snip]
The administration’s pledge has already run into a competing account from Tehran. Iranian officials on Tuesday rejected the idea that Washington or its partners would dictate how Iran spends unfrozen assets, saying any agricultural purchases would be based on price and quality rather than U.S.-imposed terms.
[snip]
Bessent did not specify how much money would be released, which entity in Qatar would control the account, where the funds would be held, what role Iran would play in directing purchases or what enforcement tools the Treasury would use to ensure the money is not diverted.
CNBC News (06/24/2026).
Bessent announced on Monday that the US was lifting sanctions on Iran for the 60-day “peace talks” aka “how can us lowly government officials profit off this?”

The rest of the tweets says: (IAEA) inspectors into their country. As part of the framework, Treasury has issued a temporary 60-day general license authorizing the production, delivery, and sale of Iranian oil.
OFAC.Treasury.gov (06/22/2026):
The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued Iran General License X, “Authorizing the Production, Delivery and Sale of Crude Oil, Petrochemical Products, and Petroleum Products of Iranian-Origin through August 21, 2026.”

Primary season.
Dan Goldman is still a Congressman until January 2027.
The Great American State Fair officially begins tonight. While the White House has framed the event as a celebration of America, Puddle’s announcement read more like an invitation to a campaign rally that accidentally booked the National Mall.
Jealousy thy name is Puddle.
Harry Enten explains:
What happened in NYC tonight represents a larger trend among Dems…

1. Dem Socialists (+17 pt net fav) are more popular than Dems in Congress (+4 pt net fav) with Dems.
2. Socialism’s popularity with Dems is way up in the last 15 years & is far more popular than capitalism. pic.twitter.com/jMgjppCP9R
Since WordPress decided my video file was having entirely too much fun and refused to cooperate, here’s a YouTube version instead.
It’s a different clip, but Enten walks through the same numbers and makes the same points in the opening two minutes.
The cope.
It’s long. But Enten just gives a master class in understanding polling.
Reflecting Pool 🙄.
We’ve covered Iran, the SAVE Act, Senate Republicans, polling, socialism, campaign rallies, and the Reflecting Pool.
I feel like that’s enough chaos for one morning.
This is an Open Thread
PS.
I want to thank everyone for the happy anniversary wishes.
