These headlines are 9 days apart. This is unsustainable. This is how societies collapse. French Revolution vibes.

Former mortgage broker here. Never EVER get an adjustable rate mortgage. (ARM) If you can't afford your mortgage at the current rate, then wait. I saw so many people lose their homes 18 years ago, and it was heartbreaking. An ARM means gambling your home on things you can't predict or control.

A neighbor bought a home in 2020 when rates were 3%. He thought rates would keep falling so he got an Adjustable Rate Mortgage and waited for rates to drop below 2%. They hit 7% instead. His monthly payment jumped by hundreds of dollars. Money he didn't budget for. Money he didn't have.

The conditions in Delaney Hall are absolutely unacceptable. Shut it down NOW.

Trump knows he's costing you. He doesn't care.

Todd Blanche lied under oath to congress when he claimed he'd met with the Epstein survivors and their attorneys. He has not, despite months of repeated attempts on their part. It's not the only time he's lied under oath about something related to the Epstein files. newrepublic.com/post/210613/...

🚨BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court kneecapped the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the landmark civil rights law that restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for more than fifty years. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump’s war on Iran has cost close to $30 billion. That could fund a year of the Affordable Care Act subsidies that he and Republicans have refused to extend. Instead, millions of Americans have dropped their insurance because they can’t afford it. Priorities.

Elizabeth Warren: “For the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot. To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite “black friend,” Clarence Thomas.

Clarence Thomas Just Struck Another Blow to Black Power

In his majority ruling in a sleeper case about mail delivery, Thomas opened the door to a new way for Republicans to suppress the Black vote.

Here we go again. Just like March @chuckschumer.com and Sen Dems will have a decision to make wrt whether to keep giving blank checks to the Trump regime: will they fight or they just meekly surrender in the name of bipartisanship? My case for why Ds must fight as polls & pol. dynamics favor them.

I couldn't begin to guess 🤬

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.
