“For MAGA Republicans, the root cause of every problem is immigrants. Populist Democrats, by contrast, prefer to scapegoat billionaires and Big Business. But lately, President Donald Trump has started to bogart Democrats’ favorite villains, too, by casting them as the baddies conspiring to increase housing costs. There’s now bipartisan (and yet wrong) agreement that Wall Street’s ‘institutional investors’ are to blame for high home prices, and Congress appears on the verge of making the problem worse.” (02/19/26)
