In 2019, unemployment insurance kept 500,000 people out of poverty; in 2020, that figure was 5.5 million. Yes, the program was riddled with problems, particularly technological ones, that made it difficult for many people to get enrolled quickly.

The first was Democrat Wes Moore, who beat Republican Dan Cox, becoming Maryland’s first Black governor, and only the third Black governor in the country.

More than 100 protestors gathered at the National Multifamily Housing Council's annual fall conference. On Tuesday, more than 100 tenant activists ambushed a national gathering of corporate landlords to demand that "lawmakers stop opposing tenant protections at the behest of real estate groups and developers." Chanting "down with corrupt greed" and "no more rent increases" activists stormed the hotel's halls, interrupting conference sessions to air their grievances with the nation's top multifamily developers. In the capital city of each of these states, rents have climbed by 13% and 4% year over year, respectively. "Without rent control, whether it's national, state or local, we're prioritizing profits at the expense of renters," she said.

Corporate owners of single-family homes face mounting criticism as their presence grows. Organizers from the Center for Public Democracy stood atop the stage at the Park Hyatt hotel in Washington, DC, where they interrupted a conference for owners of single-family rental homes. Institutional owners of single-family homes have typically preferred to operate quietly.
