Nueva ley federal busca mejorar la asequibilidad de la vivienda en EE.UU.

Una nueva legislación histórica sobre la asequibilidad de la vivienda ha sido aprobada por el Congreso y se dirige al presidente Donald Trump para su firma. La 'Ley del Camino hacia la Vivienda del Siglo XXI' tiene como objetivo aumentar la oferta de viviendas y limitar la compra de propiedades por grandes inversores, abordando la crisis de asequibilidad que afecta a muchas familias estadounidenses. Las disposiciones incluyen incentivos para que los gobiernos locales reformen las restricciones de zonificación y faciliten la construcción de viviendas prefabricadas, lo que podría reducir costos significativamente. Este paquete de leyes representa un esfuerzo bipartidista para hacer frente a la escasez de viviendas y mejorar el acceso a la propiedad.

Federal Judge Halts State Restrictions on Snack Purchases with Food Stamps

A federal judge has blocked a Trump administration initiative that allowed five states to restrict the purchase of sugary drinks and candy using food stamps. This ruling is a significant setback for the 'Make America Healthy Again' movement led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aimed at reducing the consumption of ultra-processed foods. The judge determined that the USDA lacked the authority to grant state exemptions for pilot projects in Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Beneficiaries argued that these items are essential for their health, particularly for conditions like type 1 diabetes. The ruling emphasizes that while improving health is a goal, it cannot violate existing laws.
