Why 50-Year Mortgages Are a Terrible Idea (Even at 6%)
There’s been talk lately about 50-year mortgages being a way to make housing “more affordable.” But here’s the hard truth: they don’t make homes affordable, they just make debt last forever.
Let’s break it down 👇🧵

James Uthmeier has turned the AG’s office into a circus of scandals, threats, and political theater. As AG, I’ll restore integrity and return this office to what it should be: serving the people.

Editorial: Attorney general’s threats are baseless, embarrassing
James Uthmeier’s social-media posts criticizing Linda Stewart and Monique Worrell are the latest example of state government turning Orange County into its punching bag.

If you work for a living, and if too much of your paycheck goes to rising utility bills and insurance costs, then I am your candidate too.
Happy #LaborDay2024! Today we honor workers past and present -- and support those fighting for better conditions. I have and will continue to!

I spoke with Jim DeFede about why I’m running for Attorney General: to restore the office to what it’s meant to be: the People’s Lawyer. That means taking on corruption, tackling the affordability crisis, and standing up to powerful interests.

While Floridians are being fleeced by insurance companies and utilities, the AG is chasing vapor clouds and climate conspiracies. Uthmeier should focus on real issues, not space lasers.

It’s easy to lose count of how many times Uthmeier is losing in court - he’s too busy grandstanding for Washington instead of doing his job. Florida needs an Attorney General who puts people first and roots out corruption costing families thousands. I’m running to do that.
The Supreme Court appeal arose from a challenge to Florida’s enforcement of a new law targeting undocumented migrants.

Floridians want an Attorney General who’ll fight corruption, lower costs, and stand up for working families, and I'm proud to have their support for our campaign. As AG, I’ll hold state government and special interests accountable and protect Floridians.

The Everglades are not a backdrop for Uthmeier's cruel political theater. This mass detention center rests on a dubious legal foundation and is a disastrous stunt that will cost taxpayers dearly.

Today I joined hundreds outside “Alligator Alcatraz.” Don’t use the Everglades as a backdrop for your cruel political theater. Thank you Betty Osceola for organizing us.
Enough is enough, DeSantis and Uthmeier.

Building a detention center in the Everglades with no legal safeguards or due process is a dangerous, rushed project that puts lives and resources at risk. This isn’t about safety - it’s about fear, politics, and profit.

“Alligator Alcatraz” is a reckless plan that uses disaster relief funds to push fear, not protect Floridians. We need leadership that respects the law and puts our communities first, not political theater and secret deals.
