President Trump vetoed two bipartisan bills, including one providing clean drinking water access in Colorado and another granting tribal land control to the Miccosukee Tribe.

In a rare bipartisan move, Republicans are backing a tough-on-crime bill by Democrat Stephanie Nguyen that would raise parole eligibility requirements for elderly prisoners convicted of sexual crimes against children to age 65 with 25 years served. This dangerous legislation undermines rehabilitation principles and the constitutional protections against cruel punishment by basing policy on emotional anecdotes rather than data showing elderly prisoners have extremely low recidivism rates.
President Donald Trump abruptly canceled the signing ceremony for a bipartisan housing bill, refusing to act on it until Congress passes his controversial SAVE America Act election legislation. This cynical hostage-taking of vital, widely supported policy to pursue partisan electoral changes is a stark betrayal of legislative duty and the needs of American families.
