Here come the ARM loans. “.. Adjustable-rate mortgages accounted for 10.5% of mortgage applications for week ended Oct. 9, the largest share in a year, reflecting affordability concerns and  higher borrowing costs ..” - Schwab

Congressman Andy Harris is obviously an idiot.

Baltimore Banner@thebaltimorebanner.com

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

“Trump is planning to travel to 17 states before the midterms to rally MAGA voters… ‘Can everybody just close your eyes and pretend I’m on the ballot?’ Trump asked the audience in Mobile.” HCR I can pretend he’s on the ballot. It motivates me to go vote against his syncophants.

“The White House YouTube channel announced this afternoon that at 7:00 tonight it will launch “TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station.” The comment feature on the channel is turned off.” HCR How is he a REPRESENTATIVE of the people if he won’t listen to the people?

What absolute blather. bsky.app/profile/insi...

GROUNDWORK: “.. After adjusting for inflation, corporate profits have grown 52% since 2019. Wages have grown just 12%.” @groundwork.bsky.social

I, for one, am removing ground beef from my diet until after the midterms.

I wonder if this "foreign meat" will be properly inspected by FDA ?

Target reported doubling of their profits year over year thanks to the billion dollar tariffs refund they got. Target shoppers must be so happy they doubled the profits for Target out of their own pockets. Ain’t Late-Capitalism great. And they wonder why DSA candidates are winning nationwide.

Add these to the homicide charges for RFK Jr.

Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke. Their autopsies all came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with the long-standard vitamin K shot. (Published May)

Wife of billionaire, Caroline Leavitt, says what? “This generation, my generation, I hate to say it, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths,” Leavitt said on Fox News in July. She added that they are used to “getting everything handed to them.”

Just more war crimes.

As Israel continues their pursuit of “The Greater Israel Project”, they are intentionally starting fires in Southern Lebanon to destroy forests and crops to make the area uninhabitable for the current residents. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Cassidy’s election loss is no loss to Democracy and Justice. He gave us RFK, and now regrets it. But that won’t stop him from giving us Todd Blanche. Make no mistake, Cassidy supports AUTHORITARIANISM.

Bill Cassidy is speaking at length on the floor right now but it sure sounds like he is a yes on Blanche

The ignorance combined with the weaponization being brought to us by the Republican controlled Congress another example of the GOP doing what they accuse others of. Interesting that they think they can suspend the rights granted by the Constitution when they want. www.npr.org/2026/08/06/n...

npr.orgSenate Homeland Security committee votes to hold Fauci in contempt of CongressRepublicans on the Senate Homeland Security Committee voted to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress after he refused to answer their questions about the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dick Durbin asks Todd Blanche if he will meet with Epstein survivors. His refusal to give an honest response is no surprise. The disgusting part is he met with Ghislaine Maxwell for a long visit prior to moving her to a country club prison. So he lies to the Senate Judiciary to avoid this meeting.

I’ll give everyone a hint. He was sexually harassing Anita Hill as her boss at the time. Would you like a coke.

Here is a public service announcement filmed by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1980s, and I promise that you would not correctly guess who pops up at the end if I gave you 10,000 tries

House and Senate Republicans recently introduced the Take Care of America's Veterans Act (TCAVA). Bypassing the the public rules making process and guts disability compensation for tinnitus and sleep apnea, two of the most common service-connected injuries. 1.5 million veterans will see benefit cuts

Everyone being asked to vote to confirm Todd Blanche needs for you to call them and remind them of this one clear fact. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.

So so happy that we got out of Tennessee before Marsha Blackburn was elected Governor. Bill Lee was bad enough. Sorry folks, she’s all yours.

Stephen Miller proving, once again that not only is he an idiot, he’s an idiot who can’t do math.
