Bettors think there is a 80% chance that Texas will use a new map in 2026. But surprisingly, even if Republicans prevail in court, their decision to launch a redistricting war could still end up backfiring

A 30-year mortgage currently has an interest rate of 6.3%. A reasonable guess it that a 50-year mortgage rate would be about 7.0%.
⇒ The monthly payment on a $500k mortgage:
- 30 years: $3,050 per month
- 50 years: Only $100 less at $2,950 (but 240 months longer).
