Moskowitz: My District Has People Who 'Escaped Socialism', They Reject DSA

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) discussed his primary win and said that “25% of this district is Jewish. 20% of this district is Hispanic. People have escaped socialism.” And they reject the DSA. Moskowitz said that “there were a lot of people who didn’t vote for me tonight that maybe didn’t vote for socialism, but voted against the status quo and wanted to send a message.” He added, “But, look, you’ve got to remember, 25% of this district is Jewish. 20% of this district is Hispanic. People have escaped socialism. And when they hear folks from the DSA go on television and talk about how they want to abolish the Senate — which, don’t give Trump any ideas — and, they want to get rid of prisons and no borders, most Americans hear that stuff and they say, what is going on? And, look, these people go on Fox News, Fox News wants to book these people every single day if they could, so that these people can talk about how we’re just going to get rid of prisons and get rid of Article I of the Constitution. That’s not what the American people want.

Single Family Housing Starts Fall to Lowest Level in Nearly Four Years

John Carney — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 14:05:07 +0000

Builders started construction of new single-family homes in July at the slowest pace since 2022, data from the Census Bureau showed Tuesday. Single-family starts declined by 9.9 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 808,000 units. This was 15.7 percent below July of last year. Total new home starts, including apartments and condos, dropped 12.4 percent to an annual pace of 1.239 million. This was 13.5 percent below the year-ago pace. It was the second slowest pace since June of 2020, behind the past May’s pace of 1.182 million Despite the decline, the pace of home construction remains elevated compared to the decade before the pandemic. Home building peaked in early 2006, with housing starts hitting an annual pace of 2.273 million in January of that year. After the housing bubble burst, construction crashed, hitting a low annualized pace of 478,000 in April of 2009. Permits for future construction of single-family homes rose 2.5 percent to a rate of 894,000 ⁠units. They were up 1.1 percent year-on-year in July. Total permit applications rose 5.0 percent to a rate of 1.443 million units. That was higher than expected.
