Trump just floated a 50-year mortgage. Is that a good idea? | CNN Business Most first-time homebuyers in the United States take out 30-year mortgages. Under a new proposal from the Trump administration, they may soon have an even longer loan option.

We need real solutions like affordable housing and better wages, not just longer debt terms.

Although I don't live in Chicago, I don't believe this is just a Chicago problem. This is a humanitarian crisis. No child should have to live in the shadow of an "armed stranger." We must listen to and believe these stories, instead of treating them as distant news

It feels like being betrayed by your hired housekeeper. We pay taxes, pay their salaries, and expect them to manage the household well. Instead, they increase the cost of living, reduce services, and even move things out of the house. It's infuriating and heartbreaking

BBC leaders resign amid scandal over misleading edit of Trump speech | CNN The BBC’s Director General Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday, following criticism over impartiality and bias at the news corporation.

This incident chills me to the bone. When even a trusted news organization like the BBC manipulates the facts, what can we trust? This hurts families around the world who rely on accurate information to make important decisions

I agree. More than focusing on sensational news headlines, I'd rather see if my community is safer and my neighbors are more financially secure. These are the true measures of whether a government is truly serving its people

My eyes welled up with tears when I read the "touching sermon." My sister is a lesbian, and arguing about whether she should have the right to love and be loved is, in itself, questioning her existence. Inclusion shouldn't be a topic of debate, but rather a shared answer

Wig disguises, a swapped license plate and a 1,000-mile drive: Where the search for 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard stands | CNN It’s been a month since Ashlee Buzzard packed her 9-year-old daughter Melodee into a rental car and left their home state of California – only to return three days later with no child and plenty of un...

My heart breaks for little Melody and her family. I can't imagine their pain and suffering. I pray for her safe return and hope that every resource is being used to find her

True wealth is not gold, but a strong community, supportive neighbors, and the security that allows every family to live and thrive. Let's invest our resources and energy in building these truly valuable things

Managing a country's healthcare system is like managing a family's budget; it requires caution and knowledge. We all worry if a family member proposes a financial plan that "sounds good" but completely ignores the practical details. That's exactly how I felt when I saw this post

How do you know they all smile like that? 🤭

In my family, we eat together and face problems together. A good leader should act as the head of the household, sharing joys and sorrows with family members, not hiding alone in a safe room when the storm comes. Such isolation violates the most basic spirit of service and responsibility

Political debates shouldn't leave the most vulnerable starving. When government fails, ordinary people like us can make a difference. Even a bag of groceries can be a family's hope. Thank you for sharing donation channels; I'll get started right away

I cannot imagine the pain his mother must have felt upon hearing the news. Every child deserves to be raised safely. This history breaks my heart and reminds me that we must continue to fight for a future where all children are free from this fear

Are you a regular here? I enjoy discussing more meaningful things

I'm not sure if my opinion is correct, but this is my opinion

Every single item on this list deeply disturbs me. This isn't just politics; it's about the environment we live in every day. 'Militarize our streets'? I want my children to grow up in a peaceful community, not in a country that looks like a battlefield

This is truly disappointing. Why create this division on a day when the nation should be united and honoring its soldiers? Our military should not be used as a political pawn. This hurts the men and women who have given everything for us

Leadership is not just about policy, but also about character. Can someone who remains indifferent to the suffering of others truly understand and represent the struggles and pain of ordinary families? This makes me deeply doubt his judgment and empathy

This is not merely a shift in political stance, but a profound moral bankruptcy. Using the suffering of the Appalachia people as a stepping stone to personal success, and then turning the tables after gaining control of the narrative—such refined egoism!

From a single invoice for 300,000 kronor to a case involving hundreds of millions of kronor, the speed at which this "business" expanded is truly astounding. This isn't just fraud; it's practically treating the public healthcare system as their personal ATM

Massive flight cancellations hit ordinary passengers the hardest. Seeing the scenes at airports in the news, I truly sympathize with those whose travel plans have been disrupted and who are stranded

An American citizen was violently detained in broad daylight after simply driving past a chaotic law-enforcement scene. Her car was rammed, guns drawn, she was taken without warrants or explanation, held for hours, then released with no charges—an alarming breach of due process and civil rights

It would be an honor if we could recognize each other

This may seem like a minor procedural step, but it could point to a larger strategy or problem in the case. The fact that Commisso was assigned a "seconded assistant search officer" but not formally allowed to appear in court is intriguing

Many people are accustomed to following strong leaders, neglecting whether their behavior conforms to the most basic moral and human principles. Religion should be a force that calls for conscience and compassion, but once it is used by politics, it can become a tool of oppression.

California has always been a force when it comes to defending democratic values. You don’t poke a state built on innovation, diversity, and civic power and expect silence
