McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

Thank goodness for sane jurists who see through the injustice being perpetrated by this administration. And on GOP-leaning Long Island no less!
Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE
Federal jury awards $112M to immigrants detained by Suffolk for ICE
A federal jury found the county and the Sheriff's Office violated the Constitutional rights of 674 people.

Ugh. Morons. The problem isn’t the mortgages. It’s the prices. The payment difference between a 30 and a 50 on a median(here’s the problem)price of $400K with 5% down is less than $150/mo. Paying an extra twenty years to save $150/mo. That’s not solving jack shit.
Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.
Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.
