20 million families or one out of every four renters are squeezed by the high cost of housing.

So there is a new organization called Make Room that's dedicated to bringing these issues into the national conversation.

It's not getting a lot of play in politics, either presidential or otherwise, and Make Room is trying to change that,

by making it easy for people to get involved and to demand their elected officials' take action.

You can get involved by going to Make Room USA.org, sign up there to send a message directly to your representatives,

let them know that we think this issue deserves lots more attention. Make Room USA.org.

We're about halfway through the exit the echo chamber challenge, and we're checking in on you and the post-election universe.

This is Sarah from the left and Beth from the right.

You're listening to fancy politics. They're shouting new insults, plenty of new eyes.

Welcome to another episode, and the challenge continues.

We have a compliment the other side coming up today.

Is that right, Beth? No, the empathy map is today, and then tomorrow, wait, I'm all screwed up.

I think it's compliment the other side today, and then the empathy map right, and then taking action.

And for the action, I have a special interview coming up with local elections, 101 Founders.

That's going to be really great. We'll have some more information for those of you looking to local politics as your action item.

We're also rolling out a new section of our website that we're calling Pant Suit Up,

and you'll find all kinds of resources there on things that you can do to participate more.

If running for office is not your thing, there are lots of other things.

In the polls today, we were going to talk about Donald Trump and his recent appointments.

He has also been busy.

He has been busy, and I think the pace of this is pretty on par with previous administrations.

I know there have been some reports, how is this going to get done in time, but if you look at the past, he's not doing too badly in terms of getting these spots filled.
