But people won’t have to sign up for 50 year mortgages…”

Public policy is supposed to try to protect people from scams, not create new scams so people can get exploited.

It turns out that nobody will vote for you to care for their children when your leader AND HER HUSBAND get arrested for being sexual predators.

After rounds of golf & parties in Palm Beach, Trump will fly to attend a football game while his economic advisers hit the Sunday shows trying to convince people that the terrible economy they said would be booming is the fault of Dems, while promising it will be great next year.

The difference between paying rent and paying on a 50-year mortgage is.... a shitload of maintenance costs and risk. But in both cases you have essentially no equity!

‘You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison

Journalists for NYT document tortures to dozens of Venezuelans Trump sent to El Salvador earlier this year.

Republicans seem to think that the norms created by the social contract are just sort of a immutable laws of nature and that therefore, tearing up the social contract will have no negative consequences for them, and I am, very much not looking forward to that thesis being tested

For a $700,000 mortgage at a 5% interest rate with a 50-year (600-month) term, the estimated monthly principal and interest payment is approximately $2,891.13.
Total Payments Over the Life of the Loan: ~$1,734,678.
Total Interest Paid: ~$1,034,678.

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.

Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!

His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.

What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢

it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance

i think this is the one that convinced me. he's really losing it. his mind and his sauce, all at once. this is incoherent, firstly. secondly, even his superfans arent dumb enough to think that a thousand buck check or whatever is fine for buying healthcare services retail out of pocket

Trump Says U.S. Visas Can Be Denied to Fat People From Now On New State Department guidance encourages embassies and consulates to deny visas to people with obesity or other health issues.

The Trump administration has ordered visa officers to deny immigrants who are obese or have certain health issues, in yet another instance of the president’s strange obsession with physical traits. trib.al/b0AtL8r

In Indiana, a vaunted Jewish studies program is upended by red-state politics over Israel and speech - Jewish Telegraphic Agency A leadership shakeup, a defunded graduate student and political pressure from above have turned a storied program into a flashpoint for Trump-era campus politics.

In Indiana, a GOP shock troop unit sent to take over and run IU decides that Jewish studies are unnecessary and should be shut down. www.jta.org/2025/11/07/u...

Great explainer

Trump pardons retired New York cop convicted of acting as Chinese agent The former NYPD officer was sentenced to 18 months in prison in April on charges he stalked a New Jersey couple as part of a Chinese government plot.

So in one day, Trump has (1) released a known Russian military intelligence agent from prison; and (2) pardoned a Chinese espionage agent. He appears to seek to actually promote foreign espionage operations on US soil. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The most corrupt America Last President in history. Every day a new pardon worse than one the day before.

White House economic ‌adviser Kevin Hassett tells Fox Business that the impact of the government shutdown is far ​worse than expected.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

So to cap their horrible week, Senate Republicans refused a deal to reopen the government in exchange for just helping people with health insurance and now the president wants the Supreme Court to say he doesn’t have to obey the law and feed the hungry.

Amazing.

In a plea deal in Dec 2024, Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to a GOP effort to impeach then-President Joe Biden. Days later, the Russian asset pleaded guilty to four felony charges, including one count of obstruction, and was sentenced to six years.

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

your job is meeting with people, receiving briefings, and signing papers. that is it. it is an important job because only powerful people get to do that

I legit can’t figure out the play on these FAA flight cancellations. Who’s the White House trying to pressure. And who do they think people are gonna get mad at when Thanksgiving goes down the drain?
