The man with six bankruptcies on his record says 40 or 50 year mortgages are ok. IIRC, the US and maybe six other countries in the world allow 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. They create significant issues not for just borrowers but the housing markets. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Ingraham: Is a 50 year mortgage really a good idea?
Trump: It’s not even a big deal. You go from 40 years to 50
Ingraham: 30

“No one knows what a magnet is.”
I’m old as dirt, but this toy is my earliest memory of experimenting with a magnet (pre-school). If memory serves me, 15-20 kids and I learned about magnetic fields in the 2nd - 3rd grade. Who didn’t? Donald — the Penn grad — seemingly learned just last week.

“Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work” is a great message to the people who voted for Democrats across the board six days ago and the seven to eight million people who protested specifically against Trump on Oct 18.

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

The Senate Democratic caucus should promptly convene and strip Schumer and Durbin of their leadership positions. Van Hollen replace Schumer?

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

All that Democratic rhetoric during the shutdown and before the election about how committed they were to people’s health care. They were not going to give in, they said ad nauseam. Five days later: f*k healthcare, we’re siding with MAGA. 45+ million ACA beneficiaries won’t forget. If they survive.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Have any of the squishes ever read a history book? Perhaps the better question is: who is paying them to do this and what are they being paid? If they proceed, catastrophe doesn’t adequately describe the outcome. bsky.app/profile/josh...
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
