She described the law as an important step toward addressing the ongoing affordability crisis faced by many Americans. Warren emphasized that Congress demonstrated its ability to act decisively despite executive inaction, but cautioned that more efforts are needed beyond housing issues. She proposed two key bills: her Price Gouging Prevention Act to combat rising grocery costs and her Break Up Big Medicine Act to regulate healthcare industry consolidation, both of which she believes should garner bipartisan support. Warren also highlighted other issues for Congressional action, such as raising the Social Security payroll tax cap, increasing the minimum wage, and expanding childcare funding.She stressed the need to build on the momentum from recent legislative successes to make life more affordable for Americans, citing her history of bipartisan cooperation on legislation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elizabeth-warren\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"250\">Elizabeth Warren<\/a> (D-MA) laid out what she believes should be <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/congress\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"31\">Congress\u2019s<\/a> legislative agenda after a bipartisan <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/housing\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1273\">housing<\/a> bill became law last week without President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> signature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/sen-elizabeth-warren-housing-bill-law-without-trump-families-need-congress-keep-sprinting\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/sen-elizabeth-warren-housing-bill-law-without-trump-families-need-congress-keep-sprinting\">opinion article published by Fox News Digital<\/a>, Warren said the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4644704\/housing-affordability-bill-becomes-law-without-trump-signature\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4644704\/housing-affordability-bill-becomes-law-without-trump-signature\/\">ultimately became law<\/a> after a 10-day window ran its course without the president\u2019s signature or veto, offers an \u201cimportant step\u201d toward doing something about the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/affordability\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"21532\">affordability<\/a> crisis many Americans are facing.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/4653405\/betrayal-fetterman-blasts-vance-for-accusing-israel-of-undermining-iran-peace-effort\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>\u2018Betrayal\u2019: Fetterman blasts Vance for accusing Israel of undermining Iran peace effort<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/4653152\/warren-outlines-legislation-congress-housing-bill-momentum\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Warren outlines list of legislation for Congress to take on next with housing bill momentum<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/4653031\/bernie-moreno-sanctions-canada-wildfire-smoke\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Bernie Moreno calls for sanctions on Canada over wildfire smoke<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis legislation is proof that when faced with a crisis this severe, even with a disinterested president, Congress can act,\u201d Warren said. \u201cBut the affordability crisis doesn\u2019t end with housing.
