AMERICAN BLACK PEOPLE aren't even getting approved for mortgages! You expect me to believe undocumented POC are rolling up with backing from Wells Fargo or the minimum $300K needed for a house? In CASH? Brother, are you high?
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Imagine a vast orchard, bequeathed to the Boomers by their parents.
They spend their working lives tending it, growing it, selling the apples and cider. They show it to their kids, and they say, "It'll be up to you to keep this going when I retire."

The Boomers grow older, as they predicted.
And then, one day, they saw down every tree in the orchard to build their retirement cabin.
"I'm done with the orchard," they tell their kids and grandkids. "It's all yours. Enjoy!"
And now, they're annoyed when their descendants complain.

Analysis: Intrauterine devices, or IUDs, are an increasingly popular, long-acting contraception. But pain management and cost inhibit many patients in the U.S. and abroad.

When identity thieves destroyed our credit rating, it was the CFPB who fixed it, which is why we now own the house that we live in.
The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal.
Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators.
Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
