Trump wants homebuyers to take 50-year mortgages. It’d lower monthly bills by about $100, and double the amount of interest homeowners pay. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/05yJqjB
Endless Mortgage - The American Prospect
The median age of a homebuyer right now is 59, and even for a first-time homebuyer, it’s 40. Nobody really wants to be in debt until they die.

Of all the terrible things Roberts has done, this was the most shocking stat: "the right-wing majority has used the shadow docket to uphold Trump’s actions roughly 90 percent of the time, repeatedly bailing him out of any obligation to follow the law"
There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.
