The average rate on a 30-year mortgage is back above 7% for the first time in twenty months. It's rough news for the housing market and homebuyers already struggling with rising prices elsewhere. It comes as Treasury yields, which impact borrowing costs across the economy, hit multi-decade highs.
@RealAmnaNawaz speaks to @davidmwessel for more.

🚨 BREAKING: A Russian Tu-95 strategic bomber has crashed in the Amur region, killing six of its seven crew members.
Russia’s Defense Ministry says the aircraft went down during a training flight in an uninhabited area. The cause has not yet been officially confirmed.
The Tu-95MS is one of Russia’s key long-range missile carriers, used to launch cruise missiles against Ukraine.
Another strategic bomber is gone from Russia’s shrinking fleet.

NEW: Asked aboard the papal plane Monday about the rise of Germany’s far right, Pope Leo XIV said its fusion with “a certain kind of religion” is “not an authentic expression of Christianity.”
The values of the Gospel, he said, “are not about hatred and division.”

Yikes. The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index just fell to the lowest level since early 2014.
Yes, confidence is now *worse* than during the 2020 pandemic. That's how worried many Americans are with high gas/diesel prices, spiking borrowing costs and low hiring.
September 2026 = 81.9
April 2020: 85.7
April 2014: 81.7 (remember this was the sluggish recovery from the Great Recession)

"You don’t make our schools better by telling #Arkansas kids and teachers they’re bad. You invest in them. You support them. You expect great things from them. We’ve done it before. We can do it again. I believe in Arkansas public schools. And I believe in Arkansas kids."
They say our schools are bad. They’re wrong.
Governor Mike Beebe and I agree on this: Arkansas can have great public schools. We know because we’ve done it before.
During Governor Beebe’s tenure, Arkansas ranked 5th in the nation in Education Week’s Quality Counts rankings for two years in a row.
Our schools are full of good teachers working their tails off. Good kids who are learning, growing, competing, graduating, and going on to do incredible things.
Do we have work to do? Absolutely. Governor Beebe said the same thing even when Arkansas was ranked 5th.
But you don’t make our schools better by telling Arkansas kids and teachers they’re bad.
You invest in them. You support them. You expect great things from them.
We’ve done it before.
We can do it again.
I believe in Arkansas public schools. And I believe in Arkansas kids.

Cardinal Robert McElroy, archbishop of Washington:
We have failed to live up to Deuteronomy, “you shall not violate the rights of the alien or the orphan,” and to the words on the Statue of Liberty. And so “we are losing our soul as a nation.”

We'd be blessed beyond all measure to have Hallie Shoffner pulling for #Arkansas in the U.S. Senate.
Unlike her opponent, Tom Cotton, Shoffner loves us and has real plans to pull us up out of the quagmire of Iran and alleviate our pains at the pump, grocery store, and pharmacy.
They can call me what they like.
Arkansas knows who I am.
I’m a mom, a wife, a daughter, a farmer, and an Arkansan.
And I’ll ALWAYS put Arkansas first.
Register to vote by October 5.
Early voting starts October 19.
Election Day is November 3.

Deliver us oh Lord from the ravages of Communism this November. Not from the left but from the mendacious traitor in the White House who cozies up to strong armed Communist dictators and whose regime facilitates unprecedented government acquiisition of equity in private industry.

And any future president and Congress are going to find themselves in a fiscal morass of Trump’s creation which will significantly restrict what measures may be taken to bring us back to sustainable levels of spending.
He’s making the USA a mess it’ll take a generation to fix.

Even if Trump ends the Iran war, reverses his tariffs & somehow lowers food prices, he will just enact more idiotic policies that hurt us. He is impulsive & vindictive & has no understanding of economics or foreign policy. We need to rein him in by voting for Democrats on 11/3.

This just went from bad to potentially disastrous. If hackers really got personal data on nearly the entire FBI workforce, foreign intelligence services could have one heck of a roadmap for identifying, profiling and targeting agents. #FBI share.google/GTbEK6Vnlsw9q1T…

The Financial Times has independently corroborated Kimberly Guilfoyle’s statement that the US was behind the collapse of the Romanian government of PM Bolojan over its refusal to buy US gas at above market prices: "We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here too."
Video shows Kimberly Guilfoyle, US ambassador to Greece and former fiancee of Trump Jr. meeting privately with the leaders of Romania's Social Democratic Party on March 31st, in a Bucharest hotel.
Just 6 Days later, the Social Democrats allied with the pro-Russian extremists from AUR and filled the motion that collapsed the Romanian government led by PM Bolojan, which strongly opposed purchasing US gas at above market prices.
In a WSJ article yesterday, sources present at a meeting between a Greek minister and Guilfoyle stated she bragged about having collapsed the RO government for its refusal to buy US gas, warning the US can do the same in Greece.
