@nullusfilter @KobeissiLetter I'm agreeing with you. My point is, if you look at any of the metrics, we are well beyond "gong to get"

The housing market is running out of buyers:
There were an estimated 46.3% more home sellers than buyers in February 2026, the biggest difference since Redfin data began in 2013.
This gap has widened sharply from 29.8% a year ago, marking the strongest market for buyers in over a decade.
By comparison, there were a record 36.0% more buyers than sellers in November 2022.
This comes as the number of active homebuyers fell -2.4% MoM, to ~1.36 million, the lowest since at least 2013.
At the same time, the number of sellers declined -0.4% MoM to ~1.99 million, posting a smaller decrease than homebuyers.
Further home price cuts are likely coming.

BREAKING: The UK has increased its national terror threat level from “substantial” to “severe” following yesterday’s terror attack targeting Jewish individuals in Golders Green, north London, with the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre warning that another attack is now considered highly likely within the next six months and saying the decision was influenced by the incident but not based on it alone.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has vowed to protect the country’s nuclear and missile programs, taking a hard line against the United States as tensions remain high over the Strait of Hormuz.
In his latest statement, he rejected U.S. influence in the region, saying foreign powers “have no place” in Iran except “in the depths of its waters,” and warned that American military presence in the Persian Gulf belongs “at the bottom of its waters,” while calling for a “future without America” in the region.
The remarks come as reports circulate about his health, though he continues issuing public statements.
Meanwhile, President Trump said the Iranian regime told him it is in a “state of collapse,” and warned Iran to “get smart soon” and reach a non-nuclear deal.

🚨 NOW: The US House just PASSED a 3-YEAR FISA extension that includes a BAN on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), 235-191
It now heads to the Senate, but Leader Thune vowed that a CBDC ban is DONE FOR in the Senate.
The Senate might now strip the anti-CBDC language out when it gets there.

@ComicDaveSmith But I’m not surprised when Democrats cheer for this?
English

They swear before God and the nation to uphold the Constitution, and then they wipe their ass with it in front of us all.

FISA 702 just passed the House. This bill lets the government search Americans’ private communications without a warrant—in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment. But don’t blame the GOP alone. Forty-two Democrats betrayed the American people to help Mike Johnson pass it.

$25 billion. $25 BILLION. Imagine everything we could have done with that money—funds for healthcare, hospitals, schools, veterans, military families and so much more.

@SenRickScott Honest question, what are the implications of getting rid of the filibuster? What’s the point of having a majority?
English

@mehdirhasan Okay then republicans should just do it first? Get rid of the filibuster while we’re at it?
English

If the Democrats don't make rebalancing and expanding the Supreme Court a top priority for whenever (if?) they next get into power, then I don't know what to say anymore. The GOP-packed court is the biggest block on progress in this country and has been for a while.

@TPaguevfvk @EricLDaugh @RepLuna I gotta give her the benefit of doubt, give her/them the opportunity to actually stand up for this
English

@EricLDaugh @RepLuna For the record I’m in full support of @RepLuna and I am cheering this on, especially with her crusade with the SAVE act - I just laughed because I’m just so used to being disappointed by Republicans
English

@EricLDaugh lol curious to see what @RepLuna does with this next
English

Yeah she did, I think she has a small coalition of Republicans that have agreed to join her and vote “no” on any FISA bill, which would be enough to stop it. I really hope those republicans actually sticks to their word and stop this from getting though!
Republicans have a bad name for being such pussies, so I hope they prove me wrong 🙏🏻
