Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Josh Hawley (R-MO) — urge them to better protect customer privacy, while also dropping their opposition to state and natio… Continue Reading

Harris and the Democrats are creating solutions to the housing crisis

There was a time when a young couple starting out could put a small down payment on a house and start building wealth in their early 20s. Mortgages were manageable enough that when I was a kid and my daddy lost his job, my mom could take a minimum wage job at Sears and cover our monthly payment, with money left over for utilities and groceries. Forty years ago, the typical home in Boston cost four and a half times the salary of a Boston Public Schools teacher. Today, that home costs about $950,… Continue Reading
