Balance of Power

Sound On: Guns Deal Framework, Jan 6 Hearing Recap

A discussion of President Donald Trump's path on affordability -- including a look at housing-related legislation that could pass the House as soon as this week -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Feb. 9 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. A potential antitrust probe into US homebuilders by the Trump Administration is likely more bark than bite. We also discussed the likelihood of a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security -- which in our view is unlikely to have any impact on markets or equities. Finally, we gave a status update on cryptocurrency legislation and tariffs. 

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC. 

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration

Senate Majority Leader John Thune dismissed Democrats’ list of demands to curb the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement posture as political messaging rather than an opening bid in negotiations on a funding deal for the Department of Homeland Security.

The two parties have just eight days to reach an agreement or risk a shutdown at the department at the center of the ongoing immigration crackdown. 

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries listed 10 restrictions they want placed on federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol in a letter late Wednesday to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Thune.
