THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE…
U.S. 30-year mortgage rates have already climbed from 7.17% to 7.22%, according to Mortgage News Daily.
A $400,000 loan at 7.22% costs about $2,721 a month over 30 years, before taxes and insurance.
At 3%, that same loan would cost roughly $1,686.
That’s an extra $12,400 a year to borrow exactly THE SAME AMOUNT.
You can see why someone with a 3% mortgage would think twice about moving…
This bill isn't just a compromise…it's the product of real, substantive trades policymakers made to get here.
I said this many months ago: perfect can't be the enemy of good…
and let's be clear: those trades weren't small. This isn't a deal Senators should be ‘settling for’ — it's a deal that they should stand behind.
Senate: the world is watching and voters are watching. Now is the time to vote yes.
AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super PACs have already spent nearly $50 million to defeat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate primary.
We cannot allow oligarchs to buy our elections. One person, one vote.
The House is scheduled to vote this week on a National Defense Authorization that would integrate our military tech & supply chains with Israel’s.
Today, the Rules Committee will decide whether my amendment to strip section 219 will get a vote.
RT to support the Massie amdt.!
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE CLEAR: NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL
Today, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie to cut the $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel. I strongly support this amendment.
Israel, like any other country, had the right to defend itself against the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people. But it did not have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian population. It did not have the right to kill more than 73,000 Palestinians and wound over 173,000 more — the vast majority of them women, children and the elderly. It did not have the right to destroy virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza — the schools, the health facilities, the water systems, wastewater plants, the electric grid that a civilian population depends on to survive. It did not have the right to destroy or damage 92% of all housing units in Gaza. In other words, Israel did not have the right to commit genocide. And it did not have the right to escalate its violence and annexation of the West Bank while the world's attention was focused elsewhere.
Tragically, almost five months ago, Israel, with strong support from the Trump administration, launched a reckless and illegal war against Iran — a war that has killed thousands of people and left an already unstable region of the world even more unstable. That war expanded into Lebanon, where Israeli strikes have now killed more than 4,000 people and displaced some 20% of the entire Lebanese population. That is not "defending Israel". These are regional wars of expansion and terror, waged without a clear strategy, and without an end in sight.
The American people are catching on. Polls show that nearly three-quarters of Democratic voters now oppose sending military aid to Israel, as do more than one-third of Republican voters. Just 16% of all Americans support giving Israel unconditional aid.
And I am proud that this past April, 40 out of 47 Senate Democrats — a record number — supported my bill to block arms sales to the far-right, extremist Netanyahu government.
We have enormous unmet needs in our own country. Today, while 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, tens of millions of Americans cannot afford housing, healthcare, childcare and other basic needs. Congress must focus on the needs of their constituents, not an Israeli government that is undermining American values. I urge my colleagues in the House to vote yes on the Massie amendment.
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
👀<4 weeks, and XRP is now the fastest crypto Spot ETF to reach $1B in AUM (since ETH) in the US.
With over 40 crypto ETFs launched this year in the US alone, a few points are obvious to me:
1/ there’s pent up demand for regulated crypto products, and with Vanguard opening up access in traditional retirement / trading accounts for Americans..crypto is now accessible to millions more people who don’t need to be experts in the technology
2/ longevity, stability and community are all underrated themes that matter to this new set of “offchain” crypto holders
JUST IN: Major global banks are collaborating on plans to launch joint stablecoin Initiative:

@BrianCoz Don’t worry, these idiots will find a way to win a game and celebrate like they won a playoff game. Meanwhile they’ll drop from 1st pick to 5 and miss out on that generational QB in that typical Jets way.
