That's Bill Pulte, he's the director of the FHFA. The HUD secretary is Scott Turner, former football player and relatively unsuccessful politician.

Brought to you by the same guy that eliminated all non-English content from the HUD website (https://x.com/SecretaryTurner/status/1961153998330695765). Shortsighted thinking, he could have lied to a lot more people if he hadn't done that.

Also, is the main image on the front page (https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/Main/images/headerheadernew...) AI-generated? It's very strange-looking.
