The New York Times reports that the FBI investigated their reporter who was covering FBI Director Kash Patel using bureau personnel to provide security for his girlfriend. The FBI has denied investigating her. Meanwhile, Patel is suing The Atlantic for an article about his alleged “excessive drinking.” Investigative Reporter for The New York Times Michael Schmidt, former FBI Counterterrorism Senior Executive Christopher O’Leary and Opinion Columnist for The New York Times David French join Katy Tur to discuss.

FBI Director Kash Patel sued The Atlantic for $250 million Monday after the magazine published explosive reporting detailing the director was fearful of losing his job and struggled to be reached after nights of excessive drinking.
The magazine published a story titled “The FBI Director Is MIA,” citing conversations with more than two dozen people, including current and former FBI officials, members of Congress, and hospitality industry workers.

The Hill’s Zach Schonfeld and Ella Lee explore all of that and more in The Gavel, their newsletter covering the courts and legal issues.

Sarah Fitzpatrick, staff writer for The Atlantic, talks with Jen Psaki about her new reporting about a bizarre freak-out by FBI director Kash Patel when he thought being unable to log into his work computer meant he’d been fired by Donald Trump, and episodes of excessive drinking that alarmed his FBI colleagues.

This video discusses the significant collapse in U.S. homebuyer demand as of March 2026, which the creator describes as a historic downturn.
Key Takeaways:
Record Low Demand: Existing home sales have dropped to 3.98 million, representing one of the lowest levels since 2009. The creator attributes this to a “buyer’s strike” caused by record-high home prices relative to income.

Affordability Crisis: The home price-to-income ratio is currently at 4.2, significantly higher than the long-term historical norm of 3.0 to 3.4. The creator argues that demand will likely remain suppressed until this ratio corrects.

Market Bifurcation: The housing market is not uniform. While some areas (like Austin, Texas, down 24.6% since 2022) have seen significant price drops, other areas in the Midwest and Northeast have experienced surprising appreciation.

Strategy for Buyers: The creator suggests that buyers can leverage this low-demand environment to make below-list price offers, particularly on properties that have been on the market for several months with multiple price cuts.

Data Tools: The creator emphasizes the use of the Reventure App to track local market trends, identify areas with declining values, and analyze individual property listings to determine fair offer ranges.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles pull back the curtain on the most enigmatic relationship in American politics, dissecting the strange, transactional marriage between Donald and Melania Trump and what it could mean for his presidency as pressure mounts from all sides. From her physical absence from the White House and reported separate life in New York to a calculated push to build her own multimillion-dollar brand, they trace how Melania may be quietly redefining the role of First Lady while distancing herself from her husband’s scandals, including the lingering shadow of Jeffrey Epstein. As Wolff reveals details of his explosive lawsuit and the possibility of forcing sworn testimony, a more volatile question emerges: whether Melania herself has become a political liability, even a potential threat, holding leverage that could shake the foundation of Trump’s carefully constructed image and expose truths his allies would rather keep buried.

This video from The Jimmy Dore Show discusses the resignation of the University of Georgia chapter president of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) following the organization’s handling of a failed event featuring Erica Kirk.

Key events and allegations discussed in the video include:

The UGa Chapter Resignation: Carolyn Maddox, the president of the TPUSA University of Georgia chapter, resigned due to the organization’s dishonesty regarding a last-minute event cancellation.

Contested Reasons for Cancellation: While TPUSA claimed the cancellation was due to death threats against Erica Kirk and high-level left-wing ticket reservation schemes, the US Secret Service issued a statement confirming there were no credible threats against her that evening.

Criticism of TPUSA Leadership: Jimmy Dore alleges that TPUSA is currently being run by a “narcissistic” leadership team that is out of touch with the organization’s founding principles and is distorting the legacy of the late Charlie Kirk.

Allegations of War Sentiment Shifting: The video further claims that TPUSA has shifted its stance on the war in Iran, effectively going against the anti-war principles Charlie Kirk supposedly championed, to now support or provide cover for current military actions.

Broader Organizational Issues: The report highlights that other chapters, such as the one in Arkansas, have also disbanded due to dissatisfaction with how TPUSA has managed its operations and public image since Charlie Kirk’s passing.

CLOWN SHOW: Trump Blasts Kash Patel

Kash Patel says The Atlantic lied about him—and even filed a defamation lawsuit. But here’s the problem: he didn’t deny the biggest bombshells: Trump scolding him. Trump’s unhappy with him.
The White House already discussing his possible replacement. This isn’t really about the media. It’s about Patel’s real problem: Donald Trump.

In this video, I break down:
-The key claims Patel didn’t dispute
-Why Patel’s lawsuit is likely to fail on the disputed claims
-Why it’s so hard for public figures to win a defamation claim

As a former prosecutor, I explain why this case is likely going nowhere—and why Patel looks to be in danger of losing his lawsuit – and his job.

Can you please go over and contrast and compare compensation case scenarios on NEXA Lending vs C2C Mortgage Lending:

NEXA as a company is set up on 275 basis points so when a loan officer closes a loan, the yield spread is 275 basis points from the wholesale lender to NEXA. NEXA takes 25 basis points up to $3 million and after $3 million, NEXA waives any compensation to NEXA. We are now down to 250 basis points. Then NEXA takes 30 basis points from 250 basis points left so the bottom line to the independent loan officer is 220 basis points. If MLO is 1099, NEXA pays full 220 basis points. If W2, NEXA will deduct 10% employer matching tax withholdings so 10% of 220. Independent MLO then pays all expenses.

With Coast to Coast Mortgage Lending, the company is set up on 275 basis points so when an independent MLO or mortgage net branch closes a loan, the yield spread is 275 basis points from the wholesale lender to C2C Mortgage Lending. The independent MLO or mortgage net branch gets paid the 275 basis points, all of it goes to MLO. C2C Mortgage Lending takes a $995 per file whether it is a small or large loan. However, if the team or mortgage net branch closes 7 or more loans, the per file fee gets reduced to $795 per file and if the mortgage net branch does over 10 loans per months, the fee gets reduced to $595 per file. Thank you in advance.
