Families going into more debt just to get by. Total cost to American borrowers of Trump’s broken promise to cap credit card interest rates: $94.9B. Share of each extra dollar of income going to household debt: 52¢. Take-home income up $109/month since 2022; debt payments up $57.

If you're making an average paycheck in Worcester, what homes can you afford? I checked Zillow. Spoiler alert: not much. And it's not just Worcester, it's true all across America.

Media outlets exposed that the Pentagon was hiding how many Americans have died in Trump’s war with Iran. That very same day, Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Senate Republicans have voted 14 times to continue Trump's war with Iran. They could lower your prices by ending his war—but they won't.

Bill Pulte has abused his position to cry wolf on mortgage fraud against Trump's perceived enemies. Now, Pulte is getting rid of the law enforcement personnel who investigate criminal mortgage fraud, leaving the US housing market at risk. All to protect himself.

Pulte’s FHFA watchdog budget cuts will ‘eliminate’ criminal enforcement, inspector general says.
The agency’s Inspector General told Congress it will have to cut up to 80% of its staff.

Multibillion-dollar schemes like A7 are much easier when the United States simply gives up on countering Russian sanctions evasion. The Kremlin agent gloating in this story could show a bit more humility. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/b...

During the Biden administration, the Treasury Department made cracking down on sanctions evasion a centerpiece of its effort to punish Russia. The department imposed thousands of additional sanctions, targeting companies and networks designed to move money around financial restrictions.

The pressure has largely disappeared. Since President Trump returned to office, the administration has removed more restrictions than it has added, according to a Times analysis of Treasury data.

That has made it harder for banks to screen for illicit activity, in part because new actors and organizations can spring up without fresh information. A7 shell companies, for example, have facilitated payments to companies that banked at major American and European banks, The Times found.

Universal child care is the best investment we can make for our families.

The impact of universal, affordable child care for all families would be seismic. It would mean a single mother could go back to school to become a nurse.

It would mean a young family could actually save enough to buy a house. It would mean a couple could start that small business they’d been dreaming of.

Patients want to know that decisions about their health care are being made by doctors, not by Wall Street investors. If we’re going to lower costs and un-rig the health care system, we need to stop the corporate takeover of medicine. I’ve got a bill to get the job done.

DEMOCRATS INTRODUCE BILL TO BAN PRIVATE EQUITY FROM OWNING DOCTORS.

THE STOP CORPORATE TAKEOVERS OF PHYSICIANS ACT MAKES SURE YOUR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS ARE MADE BY DOCTORS — NOT PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, OR OTHER FOR-PROFIT CORPORATIONS.

WHO OWNS YOUR DOCTOR?

OVER 80 PERCENT OF DOCTORS IN AMERICA NOW WORK FOR CORPORATIONS. 1 IN 10 DOCTORS IN AMERICA ARE CONTROLLED BY UNITEDHEALTH’S OPTUM — AND IT WANTS TO DIRECTLY EMPLOY MORE.

THE COST OF ALL OF THIS? HIGHER COSTS AND LOWER-QUALITY CARE FOR YOU. MORE PRESSURE AND BURNOUT FOR DOCTORS, FORCING SOME OF THEM TO LEAVE MEDICINE.

HOW DO WE FIX THIS?

PUT DOCTORS BACK IN CHARGE.

THE STOP CORPORATE TAKEOVERS OF PHYSICIANS ACT WOULD:

STOP CORPORATIONS AND PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS FROM CONTROLLING DOCTORS’ PRACTICES THROUGH LEGAL LOOPHOLES.

KEEP MEDICAL DECISIONS IN DOCTORS’ HANDS.

BAN CONTRACT TERMS THAT RESTRICT WHERE DOCTORS CAN WORK AFTER LEAVING A PRACTICE, WHICH TRAP THEM IN PRACTICES THAT THEY WANT TO LEAVE.

$The Social Security payroll tax is capped at $184,500 in income. So if you're a nurse or construction worker, you pay Social Security on 100% of your income. But if you're a lawyer raking in millions, you only pay Social Security on a tiny fraction of your income. That is not right.$

Raise your hand if you think Trump selling access to our economy and national security to Wall Street before anyone else is good for our markets. [... long pause, no hands]. No hands. Maybe if Republicans wanted to strengthen markets, we could start by outlawing what Trump is doing.
